Mint Automatic Floor Cleaner

It's been a while since I last looked at a robotic floor cleaner. In 2005, I took iRobot's first Scooba floor washing robot for a spin. I liked it, but was put off by the costly consumables and the somewhat complicated process of adding and removing the cleaning fluid. Still, it was a good, if expensive floor cleaning solution that's better at mopping than me. Now, after test-driving the Evolution Robotics' Mint Automatic Floor Cleaner ($249.99 direct), I realize what the Scooba was missing: a little bit of KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid).
