Q: QuestionMy dogs sometimes have accidents in the house, will this machine avoid/sense the dogs poop? Is it also waterproof?

• A:Answer My bobsweep will run over my cats' food and water bowls, get stuck and then shut off, so I reckon it will just drive over any poop it comes across. I definitely wouldn't recommend this thing.

Q: QuestionWhat is the suction power of this robovac? Does it use a lithium ion battery & what mAh & runtime does it have?

Asked 5 years ago by Bev.

This question was asked about the related product: bObsweep - Bob PetHair Plus Robot Vacuum and Mop - Cobalt

• A:Answer The BOBsweep has standard suction that is quite adequate for home use. I use it nearly every day to vacuum up stray cat fur from my two shorthair cats. I am always amazed at the quantity that accumulates unseen on carpet and is captured by BOB. It has a large capacity for a small vacuum. BOB also makes quick work of sand and small partials without scattering. The run time is approximately one hour and then it re-docks itself and recharges. Easy to use and you will be pleased with how well it cleans ... with little or no effort on your part.

Q: QuestionI had one a few years back, the regular model I guess. It was terrible on berber carpets, is this one good on them?

Asked 5 years ago by Sparkle1023.

• A:Answer I’m shocked there are so many good reviews! This is my 3rd robot over the years and it’s the worst I’ve ever purchased. Had it not been on Best Buy’s Deal of the Day, there’s NO WAY it’s even close to being worth $899!!!!! I’m returning it after watching it go in circles for two days. It runs out of charge because it just spins endlessly. It smears dirt all over the floor and it’s LOUD!!!!! It’s too tall to go under any furniture and it gets stuck on area rugs that have zero pile! It’s not even worth the $199 on the deal if the day. Bye Bob!
