With his software and navigation code engineered entirely in the U.S. and Canada, Dustin champions clean tech. Congratulate yourself on a new level of lazy: Dustin’s whopping 4.6-liter dust station creates more room for your dirt than the robotic vacuum your neighbor fell for. Leave Dustin to vacuum for up to 100 days without sucking any of your time, and with assurance that you can trust this one with your secrets: Never does Dustin send images anywhere‑-servers, cloud or otherwise--be it of your room layout or your cleaning habits. Furthermore, any info you personally insert into the app (such as name and email address) is strictly stored on US-based servers. Nothing at all gets exported onto foreign servers (again, unlike your neighbor's expensive vacuum). An expert navigator, Dustin uses LiDar in conjunction with his unparalleled Quantum Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (QSLAM) with Realtime computing. No need to “train your dragon”--Dustin identifies rooms at first glance, and doesn't waste your time with exploration sessions. Enjoy the immediate, detailed, and color-coded map on your app, and feel free to practice your drawing skills: use the app to draw any shape of NoSweep Zones or working areas when necessary or when bored, and Dustin will follow. If a 150-minute vacuum session is not enough for your fancy mansion, set Dustin to resume where he left off after he juices up. And if stains and paw prints don’t quite match your decor, attach Dustin’s mop and fill up his 350ml reservoir, so he simultaneously adds a layer of shine, while vacuuming. Dustin supports Bluetooth and fast WiFi pairing to connect to a 2.4 GHz WiFi network. Use Alexa or Google to boss Dustin around, by simply talking. As a specialized pet hair vacuum, Dustin incorporates 4100 Pa of suction into a TurboLift technology, something you would never guess, judging by his quiet demeanor. At under 60 decibels on default setting, Dustin is a pet whisperer.
A: ALL reviews on bestbuy say this, no matter for which product, positive or negative. Basically BESTBUY incentivizes customers to review their purchase by entering them into a raffle or something.
A: As someone who bought it, the price is so misleading (permanent 'sale') and the navigation is trash, don't buy this hunk of junk
Q: Does this vacuum require bags?
A: Yes. The bag goes in the canister. I manually empty my Dustin because I want to see what it picks up. I then vacuum what’s left. Hope it’s awhile before I have to buy bags.
Q: will this run and set up on a 5G network? I am seeing conflicting answers
A: My phone is 5g it programmed and set without any problem
A: i have a golden retriever & a daschund…lots of tumbleweed hair everywhere. the dustin cleans it up extremely well & empties at the end of each cleaning. the empty sound was jarring at first because the bobi is so quiet. but really not an issue.
Q: Does this vacuum require WiFi to work? Or can I start it manually to vacuum?
A: If it’s not connected to the WiFi it will not find the dustbin station in order to charge and dump the dust. But yes you can use it without the app by pushing the Go button on the vacuum itself. You cannot use the app to map the floors and operate it remotely, because it will require a WiFi connection.
Q: Is there a cleaning solution that can be added to mop reservoir ?
A: It doesn’t come with cleaning solution but I add fabuloso and that works fine.
A: On amazon there are a multitude of ones to buy. Usually around $15 for 12

The Shark Matrix Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum features incredible suction power, Matrix Clean and Precision Home Mapping. It has Incredible Shark suction power and a self-cleaning brushroll, pulling trapped debris, dust, and pet hair from carpets and hardwood floors. With Matrix Clean, the robot cleans using a precision grid taking multiple passes over dirt and debris, leaving no spots missed. The robot empties itself into a bagless base after each clean and holds up to 30 days of dirt and debris. No additional purchase necessary for dirt/dust bags. Now with extended runtime technology, the robot cleans 2x faster (*vs. Shark AI Ultra RV2500, due to more initial runtime in recharge/resume mode). With Precision Home Mapping, the robot uses its 360 LIDAR vision to scan your home and build a detailed map, enabling fully autonomous movement. This also allows your robotic vacuum to detect and avoid objects in its path day or night (*objects 4.5 inches or greater in its path). It creates a precise home map in the SharkClean app so you can select specific areas to clean on-demand, initiate Matrix Clean, and set cleaning schedules from anywhere. Together, Shark cleaning power with Matrix Clean and Precision Home Mapping give you the confidence your robot will complete the cleaning mission every time.

The "BObsweep" robotic vacuum and wet mop, or Dustin as we like to call him, has helped us save so much time. Not having to worry about the very time-consuming sweeping and mopping of our laminate floors has allowed us to spend more time doing the things we enjoy. I love how I can monitor and control Dustin over the WiFi instantaneously with the 'BObsweep' Android and iPhone app. If you don't have time to check on BObsweep, you can schedule when and how he operates, including vacuum strength and mopping depth. At a lower price than all the others that I looked at with a wet mop feature, none was priced competitively low and worth every penny. I would definitely recommend you consider checking out 'BObsweep' when choosing your next vacuum companion. - Ryan R.

It works great, I like that it will determine if something is just a high transition strip and attempt to scale it to get over it. My last robot vacuum would get to the strip and just give up leaving my kitchen and living room unclean. I also like that the app is super easy to use and allows you to choose exactly what you want it to do and where exactly you want it to do it. I would say the only negative I’ve seen is it doesn’t notice things like socks on the floor and just goes right over them, naturally it attempts to suck it up and gets stuck. I also wish the app would send my notifications when it gets stuck, I’ve had times where it would get stuck and me have no idea until I get home.

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
