This remote-control floor mop, made by the Japanese company Kyosho, is advertised as a way of “mopping without mopping”. Instead of a vacuum cleaner, it’s a small mop. This remote control is actually a console for a videogame.
You can basically clean things without having to get up from the couch. Kyosho warns that the remote-control mop should not be used for large cleaning jobs, and admits it is only suitable for small areas, spills or small messes. The remote-control mops is available for $87.53 on Amazon (although its rating is only 2.5/5 stars).
This floor mop is appealing because of its childish appearance, even though it lacks the technology of its iRobot counterpart. This floor mop is less likely to scare your pets while it sweeps up mess on the floor.
