After purchasing a very inexpensive vacuum that contained zero artifical intelligence (or basically no intelligence at all), i was reluctant to try bobsweep. I'm so happy that i bought this on sale at Sam's though! This guy is awesome-- very efficient (only uses about a third of his battery to vac our 850 sq ft of tile. My only disappointment is that there is a small circular cap on top that is not flush-- its about an inch above the top of the vac and it prohibits Bob from sweeping beneath one of my cabinets. Other than that, he hasn't gotten stuck yet anywhere like the "dumb vac", and seems to navigate all areas easily.

Bought this on a whim and due to the sale price, figuring it was worth a shot and very glad we did - to the point where we wish he had bought a second! Mapping feature is great, just takes a little finagling to get used to. Haven't tried the mop feature yet (need to work with the map and create boundaries for area rugs) to give that a go. Overall, it works great and has 2 vacuum speeds (energy saving and high - both of which pick up a great amount of debris and cat hair) and is relatively quiet considering what it is. I know that there are others out there with more/better features, but very happy with what this one has done with the short time we have owned it and would recommend.

So far I am loving my bob sweep. I haven’t used the mop feature but the vacuum feature works well. It got stuck quite a bit the first week but once it figured out the map it does much better now and my house is cleaner than ever. Strongly recommend!

I have a large 2 story home with all hard floors and have been wanting one of these vacuums for years. My husband kept telling me “They don’t work”! So, a couple of months ago, Sam’s Club had this one on sale for $199. However, I had never heard of the brand Bob Sweep. But at this price what did I have to lose. The only regret is I wish I had bought an additional one for the second floor. I program BOB every other day for 5:00 AM and when I arise my tile floors are so much cleaner than before.

This was purchased to replace another robot vac that died. After using this one for a couple of months, it does a much better job of cleaning than the old one did. We have 3 long-haired Chihuahuas, and this vac does a good job keeping up with the dog hair. It is quieter than our old unit. The mapping function works well so it knows where it has been and where it is not supposed to go.

100% satisfied! This is my seventh bot. I can't afford expensive ones so I buy cheap or used. Living pay check to pay check. I know bots are a luxury item, but to help with every day cleaning why not. My cheap ones always got stuck and you know the beep beep OMG. Not my BoB, O NO... I cried seriously I cried. I was so obsessed watching him clean and map my home. I'M IN LOVE.

Keeps floors clean from dog hair. BUT. The roller has brushes and the dog hair has to be cleaned after every use. The mop is worthless. Mops my rugs. Used once will not use again

The vacuum worked great for about two months, but that was it. After that, the battery died on the unit, and once that was replaced, it would keep giving constant errors. To top it off, it would not reconnect to Wi-Fi after replacing the battery. The app has no general structure and you have very little control within the app. Support was not easily accessible and took longer to handle things. Certainly not worth the price.

This thing makes me so mad. I've been trying for 2 days to get it connected to Wi-Fi via the app. I didn't realize when I bought it that it's not compatible with 5 ghz internet. Unfortunately, Spectrum joins the 5 ghz and 2.4 ghz bands so I can't specify to the vacuum which it should join and just using the main one, the connection fails every time. It's like it's only seeing the 5 ghz band. The one work around I saw online was to move away from your router so the 5 ghz signal drops off. I took both my phone and vacuum outside my apartment. I verified in my phone settings that I was indeed switched to the 2.4 ghz band, but the connection still failed several times. The robot "speaks" and says "WiFi found..connecting" but then seconds later says "connection failed". I believe I saw that you can use the vacuum without the app, but the features available there make it worth spending several hundred dollars for it in my opinion. There's so many people that say they love this thing, so I submitted a ticket to their customer service and we'll see. But I'm about ready to just ship it back.

This is my 1st robo vacuum. I knew there would be a learning curve but didn't expect this nightmare. The brush is always clogged up with hair. It's supposed to be for homes with pets. It would go 10 seconds & it'd stop & be clogged again. Edgar, one of the technicians, is like family now. In the meanwhile, I bought a Roborock. It has dual silicone brushes, can handle 10 times the hair with ease. Spend the money to get a better machine with silicone brushes.
