Notes

Robot mops automate hard-floor cleaning with a dock/charger and onboard sensors. Repairs are most practical for consumables and common wear items (battery, wheels, pumps).

Replace if navigation sensors fail repeatedly, corrosion affects internal electronics, or if multiple modules fail near end-of-life. Also factor in availability of replacement parts and ongoing app support.
