bObsweep - Dustin Robot Vacuum & Mop, Auto-Empty Odor Control Dock with 1 Gal Capacity, Privacy Focused U.S. Software - Plus Version with 8000 Pa Suction

It's been a pretty good robot vacuum cleaner. It has been loads of help to my Mom who is losing her mobility more and more as she ages. It's just not without flaws. Occasionally it gets "confused" and just spins in circles. On other similar occassions, it only vacuums a small area and just keeps going back and forth in said small area, never moving out of that zone to other needed areas. I found this to be especially true whenever I moved the docking base slightly away from It's original spot, so avoid doing this unless willing to erase the existing map scanned and have the bot remap the whole area again. This includes deleting ALL map data, including room labels and designated no-mop and no-sweep zones, so they'll have be added again, if preferred or necessary, after the bots does its Lidar and laser mapping. Lastly, it does well vacuuming up short pet hairs (we have a lot. 3 dogs and 2 cats) but as far as having them taken out of the bot's storage module by the docking base's own vacuum, it's a bit lacking sometimes, as afterwards the storage module on the actual bot can be opened sometimes to find some remaining hairs inside. Aside from these really minor inconveniences, however, it's a fantastic robot vacuum.

We are newly minted Bobparents as he is our first grand robot! He’s a combo, self-emptying bot. Set up was extremely easy! The directions were in LARGE print, simple, accurate grammar and syntax and a breeze! The accompanying pictures were labelled and easy to follow. The quick guide made the initial set up very simple. Bobbitt aka bObsweep - Dustin) has an app for mapping which is easy to use and easy to edit. You can create zones/areas for him to clean specifically extra times. If Bobbitt is stuck, confused or not working correctly (which hasn’t happened yet) it tells you what the error is and basically how to fix it. Quite simple. The app connected to my WiFi quickly and has stayed connected. We were away for several days during Bobbitt's initial week, and I was able to monitor his cleaning from a state away! He worked while we didn't! You are able to change his settings through the app even while he is cleaning. I had been researching brands and was planning on sticking with a US brand for ease of instructions, customer service, returns, etc but found bObsweep out of Canada and knowing Canadian quality, integrity and reliability, thought I couldn’t go wrong. So far, so good. On Bobbitt’s maiden mapping voyage, he got stuck twice (trying to get under the couch- wasn’t his fault - it’s a dark area rug surrounded by 2 “of hardwood and then the low couch bottom) but figured it out and hasn’t gotten stuck since. He navigates multiple corners, terrain of hardwood, tile and area rug. It’s really pretty fascinating and fun to watch him think through his next moves. Bobbitt is fairly quiet, especially on the lower suction settings but even on high, the decibels are not loud. He’s unobtrusive and just zips around. His suction is great. I have never had such clean corners! I haven’t used the mop feature yet nor replaced the bag but am confident both will be pretty simple and effective. I will be in the market for Bobbitt’s mate Loretta for my upstairs and likely will stay in the bObsweep family. Couldn’t be more satisfied. Shelley
