Homebot Glider Robot Vacuum and Mop with Self-Empty Station

Advanced robot vacuum and mop with self-emptying station that handles everything from daily maintenance to deep cleaning across multiple floor types.

MAPPING4 LevelsMulti-floorMOP WASH55°CHot waterCONTROLVoiceIrish accentFUNCTION2-in-1Vacuum + Mop

The Glider represents a new generation of robot cleaners designed for Irish homes that demand both convenience and thoroughness. Unlike basic robot vacuums, this intelligent system combines powerful suction with dual spinning mops, automatically adapting to different surfaces throughout your home.

What sets the Glider apart is its self-maintenance approach. The self-emptying dust bin and 55°C hot water mop washing system mean you can genuinely set it and forget it for weeks at a time. Featured and reviewed by The Irish Times, it’s built specifically for homes with mixed flooring and busy lifestyles.

A robot cleaner that actually thinks like you do – lifting mops on carpets, washing itself clean, and mapping every corner of your home

The complete hands-free cleaning experience

Adaptive Surface Intelligence

The Glider’s most impressive feature is its ability to think about surfaces like you do. When it encounters carpet edges, rugs, or mats, built-in sensors automatically lift the dual spinning mops to prevent water damage. This isn’t just basic obstacle detection – it’s genuine surface intelligence that adapts cleaning methods in real-time.

The dual spinning mop system provides 200% more cleaning contact than single-pad systems, with each mop spinning independently to tackle ground-in dirt and stains that regular robot vacuums simply push around.

SELF-MAINTENANCE SYSTEM

Hands-Free Operation

The self-emptying dust station and hot water mop washing represent a genuine breakthrough in robot cleaner convenience. After each cleaning session, the Glider returns to wash its mops with 55°C hot water, removing bacteria and maintaining hygiene standards that cold water simply can’t achieve.

The sealed dust collection system holds weeks of debris, automatically emptying the robot’s small bin into a larger sealed bag. This maintains consistent suction power and means your only regular maintenance is changing the collection bag every few weeks, not daily emptying.
