    I purchased the Orbi vacuum 10 days ago. I already own a Roborock and a Miele robot vacuum. The Bob vac is very quiet and cleans fast. The self cleaning feature is awesome. The Bob cleans well but seems to miss some areas. In comparison to my other robotic vacuums it is my second favorite. The Roborock is my favorite because it gets into every nook and cranny. Overall I am happy with the Bob Orbi. I purchased it for a great price!

    This robot has been a huge upgrade. I had the iHome Juno and what an upgrade. I let it run about twice a day and the battery never runs out. It’s a great upgrade especially for the price!!!!! I have already recommended to friends and family!

    Had BOB for about 3 weeks now and he has been such a pleasure to welcome to our family. Grizzly our Rottweiller has had a few run ins when napping which lead to some aggressive barking, but in the end BOB prevailed. He does a fantastic job keeping up with the Shedding and Sand that frequent our abode. Had a few Robotic Vacuums in our day and BOB by far has been the best mate we could ask for. Highly recommend BOB.

    We love our bObsweep (1 month of ownership). We upgraded to the bObsweep - Orb-i Self-emptying Robotic Vacuum Cleaner, with 100-Day Bin Capacity, 5000 pa Suction, & LiDAR Mapping - Chocolate after owning a cheap robovac from amazon that barely worked. The wifi connection would always disconnect and the mapping was clumsy. The Orb-i vacuums and empties itself everyday, and we have had no issues whatsoever. The app is simple and easy to use. The mapping is consistent and makes sense. Also, the chocolate color is beautiful: very sophisticated, yet not glaring. We are very satisfied with our purchase.

    This model was on sale from nearly $500 to $185. As a former iRobot 6 Roomba (base model) user for 3 years, I needed to upgrade. I tried this company and discovered a few things in comparison : it's flimsier; the plastic is thinner. It doesn't have a handle to pick it up and move it. It's very tech dependant - apps, internal mapping, codes. You can't see the contents of what it picks up - which is important because it picks up lost jewlery, hair clips, "things" that might be wanted. BENEFITS: its much quieter, it can be used without going on apps or programing to alexa, and without "setting room zones" etc. If I just let the thing roam, it is basically remembering every room anyways - it has an internal memory. That being said, the company assumes my rooms look the same everyday, but this unit seems to just be vaacuming anyways. Lastly, it leaves beautiful patterns because on the rugs, and the first time it vacuumed up a cup of pet hair in 15 minutes, so it's powerful beyong my old machine. I was very close to returning it. The user manual doesn't tell you why things blink, but the best buy help chat girl did! I'm going to register the warrenty now, and use up my $185 worth of new vacuum. I have luxury problems, for sure. God Bless.

    Little Helper Bob

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    We received Bob (Dustin) and he got to work right away. He started mapping our entire house with no issues. He made a clear difference with vacuuming all the dirt off the floor. As we live on a farm dirt makes it in the house a lot. Bob only got stuck once on one our son's toys. We helped him with that and he has not gotten stuck since. He goes back to his station when his battery gets low and when he needs to dump his bin. Bob is very independent and good at his job. He's our little helper.

    3-levels of suction which is plenty strong enough to lift my 10-year old carpet fibers, quick mapping, easy to setup on 2.4 GHz wifi, quiet, easy to find on live-action map when it experiences physical errors, logical cleaning pattern makes for a pleasant finish.

    Great machine! Very easy to get started and the mapping was very good. I am using it on our top floor and was worried about the stairs but found Orb-i knew exactly what it was doing. It cleans the floor very well and rugs (if taped down) don’t cause any issues. The great price was an added bonus!

    The vacuum itself is great; much quieter than ones we've had in the past! I like the self emptying option, too. My only beef with it is that I didn't see anywhere when researching it that we had to have a specific type of WIFI ghz to connect to the app, so I've had to do a lot of extra work with our internet provider to change the ghz which has been a bit of a headache. That being said, it works without the app but I can't access the fun added perks yet. I recommended it to my mom and she just bought one too!

    My first Ai robot vacuum. A nice improvement over the models that bump into everything. Good power (adjustable to 3 suction levels). Good mapping. Automatic emptying is nice. You can have a map for each floor of your house and move bob from floor to floor. Uses a Hepa filter which is nice. At $200 you can't go wrong.

    Not perfect, but we're happy with this purchase

    After two weeks, we're pleasantly surprised by this device. We were skeptical that any robot vacuum would be useful for us, so we took a chance on the lowest priced one available. I want to say that bObsweep's marketing strategy really turned me off from this brand. I see them all the time on Deal of the Day, often discounted 80% or more, which tells me that the "original" price isn't realistic at all. The list price matches what's on bObsweep's web site, so I blame the manufacturer for this and not Best Buy. It's not a good look for either, though. We have a relatively small area that we want Orbi to clean; just a living room, kitchen/dining area and hallway. At this point we're keeping the doors closed to bathrooms and bedrooms off the hall. There's no carpeted area except for a doormat in the living room. We have one German Shepherd dog, and it's a farmhouse so it's easy for dirt to get tracked in. Orbi's instructions tell you to find an unobstructed area for the charging station. We didn't want to keep it in the hall so it's placed in an area that has furniture fairly close on either side. It's an irregular space with about a 2-3 foot gap, but Orbi hasn't had any problem getting back to the base station after any of its runs. Early on, the spinning edge brush came off when it got caught under a table leg. When I put it back on, I pressed until there was a much louder "click" than I'd heard when I first installed it. After that it hasn't come off again, though there have been a couple times when it got tangled up with something that stopped it from spinning. When that happened the Orbi stopped until I cleared the problem. On the first run, Orbi found plenty of dog hair in corners and under furniture. When it returned to the charging station and tried to self-empty, it was too clogged with pet hair and I had to remove the dirt container and empty it out myself. Several days later it again alerted us to a clog when it tried to self-empty. This time the built-in dirt container on the vacuum was empty, but there was a clog in the tube leading to the dirt bag inside the charging station. I could see the clog because the tube is transparent, but I couldn't reach it easily. I finally dislodged it with a long cable tie. It would be helpful if bObsweep included a flexible tool for cleaning this area. Aside from these two incidents, though, all the functions have worked well on its daily runs. Before Orbi, there were always little clumps of dog hair hiding in corners and under furniture, and we could usually feel grit on the floor when we walked around barefoot. These are now gone. We have it set to run each morning, and we do minimal prep work ahead of time: picking up the dog toys, making sure doors are closed, and stacking chairs so it's easier for it to clean under our table. Overall, we've found our floors are noticeably cleaner day to day and we're happy with our purchase. The device seems reasonably well made and it's been working better than we really expected.

    This works well. The dog hair is a challenge to keep it from clogging. I limit the rooms it cleans before it empties. This helps. It navigates well, does not get stuck easily. It’s still only a few weeks old, but I am very happy with its performance so far.
