What customers say
Customers highly value the NorthStar Navigation Cube Channel 2 for its exceptional reliability and pinpoint accuracy, noting superior data throughput. The build quality is consistently praised as rugged and durable, reflecting the premium nature of the device. While integration into existing systems is straightforward, a significant barrier for some users is the steep learning curve associated with advanced protocols and dense documentation.

Know before you buy
This specific navigation cube is compatible with the Braava 320 and Braava 380 robotic mop models.
The NorthStar system uses specific channels to prevent signal interference. If you are using multiple cubes to cover a large area, you must ensure your cubes are set to different channels so the robot can distinguish between them.
Yes. When used with a Braava 380, this cube allows the robot to move seamlessly between zones, enabling it to clean larger areas or multiple rooms in a single cycle.
Adding a second cube expands the robot's mapping range. It allows the Braava to navigate more complex layouts and ensures it covers larger floor plans that a single cube might not reach on its own.
No, the cube does not require manual programming. Once placed in a new area, the Braava robot automatically detects the signal from the cube to navigate and map the space.
