Has anyone used an alternative brush in an ilife W400?

[tadgh78]

Hi, I have an ilife W400. I find the roller brush is not as aggressive as I would like. For instance it doesn't seem to do anything about tile grout. In fact it might even make it dirtier!

Has anyone tried to use a different roller or brush in the W400 to make it a bit more like the iRobot Scooba?

I bought a cheap robot, and now I find that it is sh!t. What can I do?

I have translated your question for you...

There are only going to be very few people on here that have one of those, so the chances of finding somebody that went to a lot of trouble to engineer a solution and post a detailed account on line is just-about nada!

I like the W400 for vinyl kitchen floor, but I wonder whether the mechanism could work with any sort of bristle brush, as it squeezes water out of the soft brush to collect it, as far as I can tell. I don't think they offer a different brush. You would have to start with what it takes to clean grout manually -- can it be done robotically at all?

The W400 is great.
You could probably find a bristle roller that could be easily adapted if you really wanted. e.g. http://www.qtool.co/bristle-rollers.php
