Robots are taking over, one household chore at a time. Joining the ranks of the iRobot Roomba and Scooba is Mint, an automatic floor cleaner from Evolution Robotics. Featured recently on Rachel Ray, it sweeps and mops, but only on tile, wood, vinyl, linoleum, and laminate floors. Carpeted homes need not apply.

Unlike its cleaning compadres, the Mint does not require its own cleaning fluid or store dirt in a compartment. Instead, it has a removable cleaning microfiber cloth attached to the bumper. From PC Mag.com
