A:Answer The way this round Bobsweep gets corners is by the side brush that spins around. This extends about 2 inches outside the body of the vacuum and the vacuum knows somehow to keep slowly turning moving forward, turning a little moving forward and so on until it gets corners and edges clean.
As far as transitioning from laminate carpet floor, mine typically does fine, but the carpets that I have are very low pile and they’re just throw carpets. Occasionally Bob can’t get onto the carpet but I would say 95% of the time he gets on and off seamlessly.
This Bobsweep has the best suction power of all of their vacuums, but it locks a lot of the frills, features and smart features of some of their other models.
My advice from being a bObsweep owner for several years now is to match up your needs with the vacuum that works best for you.
If strong suction is not something you need, the Slam has an improved mechanism, where it raises it up onto carpet and down off of it. The section on this one is fine for a normal household and for a normal level of dirty carpet, but in the case of my household, I have 11 cats and a 95 pound dog so I cannot use any other vacuum than the pet hair plus.
I did get the slim and used it to try it out and it did OK for me even with the tons of pet hair so I would say that it still is pretty good for normal dirt levels, but for extreme cases of pet hair litter, trackings, and all the other wonderful things animals do to your house pet hair plus is really the only one that will do the job well.
