“How can a round vacuum cleaner remove debris from a corner, and how well does this unit move from a carpeted floor to a hard wood floor and a laminated floor, especially when there are small dividers situated in between rooms?”

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.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There is a small little brush that extends from the front right side of the unit, that sweeps in a counter-clockwise motion, so as to grab debris and push it into the main brush. It does corners quite well! I have hardwoods and carpets and Bob handles the transition well, most of the time. It really depends on how tall the dividers are, and how thick the pile of your carpet. We used to have a thicker, shag type rug, and he wouldn't do that (looked like he was trying to climb a mountain lol) His sensors can be covered up as well, so that he wouldn't 'see' the dividers, but I'd only use those if he's not going to be anywhere near a set of stairs. Hope this helps!
