NorthStar Navigation Cube Channel 2 - Compatible with Mint or Braava



Important addition for multi-room cleaning
I bought the Mint Plus a while back and although the product worked well - it can't navigate from room to room - and sometimes when the room has a complicated layout the Mint Plus has difficulties figuring out where to clean. So I got two of these and in conjunction with the primary cube that came with the Mint Plus, I set up the cubes in three different spots - and the Mint Plus has not have any problem ever since.

Now, regarding some comments that a second or third cube does not work - do keep in mind that the cubes are unlikely to automatically lock on to the Mint Plus right away after you turn on the Mint Plus. In fact, it takes 5 mins before the Mint Plus locks on to all the cubes (and usually they do so one at a time, depending on how far apart they are). So don't panic if the cubes do not lock on as advertised and the Mint Plus continues to mop the floor as if nothing had happened - it will lock to the cubes eventually! Having said that, be sure to place the cubes on...

Definitely a good addition to the Mint Cleaner
I definitely recommend the second room navigation cube - as this has allowed the Mint to go from one room to the other to clean a large space. This is much easier than taking the single cube from room to room.

Doesn't work for me
I thought this extra cube would allow me to send my dearly beloved Mint into two separate rooms. That, apparently, is not the case unless at some point Mint can see both of the cubes. I live in a mid-century house with small bedrooms off a central hallway. There's no way I can get the cubes to communicate. The second cube was a waste of money, but I still LOVE the Mint. Best thing that ever happened to wood and tile floors.
