I always had a struggle cleaning dog hair that gets trapped under chair legs. Bob swept them up clean! Bob cleans very well under beds where I actually thought i cleaned. only problem is Bluetooth to my phone. i have 5g but needs to be 2.4.
Easy to use, Cleans well
I got this on sale at Sam's club as a non believer. I am sooooo pleasantly surprised. I love my cleaner. Maps perfectly, easy to understand and tweak, and I am not technologically saavy. Love it. Cleans well, empties well. It's all around a great help to me.
Our little friend
It took a while for Dustin to arrive. He got hung up in Vegas for a bit. We were getting concerned he had gone into some gambling debt and was being detained. He did finally appear on the doorstep and we took him in. Once he made himself at home we have had a pretty decent relationship. We have found it's best to send him off for a tour of the house more frequently due to the cat fur. Too much will definitely set of his allergic reaction to cleaning. We have also discovered certain situations cause him to fling off his brush and go roaming naked. We have thought about what kind of surgery we could have done to alleviate the problem, but haven't come up with a solution. Overall, we are pleased Dustin moved in with us.

The Right Features at a Great Price
You get a lot for the money. Dustin mapped out the perimeter and then made a row by row pass to clean the middle area. He is very good at making it over thresholds, transitions and scatter rugs/door mats without getting stuck so keep outside doors closed or set virtual walls so he doesn't escape outside. After mapping has been completed its very easy using the application to set up virtual walls in the form of squares or lines to block areas where you do not want him to go. Room labeling is easy too as is combining and splitting rooms. Before mopping though you need to set up your carpeted areas as "No Mop Zones" so you don't have him trying to mop your carpets/scatter rugs. While you shouldn't put cleaners of any kind in the water reservoir and should use distilled water you can spritz the cleaning pad with a cleaner that doesn't require rinsing. When using the "Deep Clean" Mop Setting which is a bit more than just damp mopping I like to turn the vacuum to its lowest power setting to ensure you don't vacuum up wet dirt and of course let Dustin vacuum the entire area before filling it with water and attaching the mop attachment. The only negative is that Dusting does not appear to have a piezo element to enhance the mopping function or any other type of active scrubbing/agitation mechanism. An upgraded mopping reservoir with that feature would be a welcome improvement to an otherwise great robot mopping vacuum.
Great vacuum at great value
This is my first robotic vacuum. I have always wanted to try one but was overwhelmed by the different brands. I would always gravitate towards the brand names everyone knows, then rethink when I saw the price point. I literally did that for years, never wanting to pull the trigger…until I received an email from Sams with specials advertised. I thought it was too good to be true, and did my usual back and forth contemplating. I read all the reviews, was intrigued by the dry annd wet mop features, and walked away with a positive feeling about this robot vacuum and decided to finally give one a try! I cannot be more pleased with this purchase! It has been very effective and easy to use. I have not tried the wet mop feature yet so I can only comment on the vacuum part. Did it pick up every speck on the floor? No. Do I expect it to? No I think that’s unrealistic. But when I see how much it did pickup with ZERO effort other than pushing the go button, it’s an obvious choice! My husband and I struggle with shoulder and back injuries where the motion of vacuuming is difficult. We are so pleased with this purchase for effortless cleaning!
Love it👍👍
It is quieter than my mother's Roomba and has options to clean by room or spot clean. I haven't used the mop option but that's not why I chose this one. I do like that it uses US servers. It does a good job mapping then clean in the most efficient way once mapped. You will have to remap if you move it. My floor feels cleaner than when I vacuum it (hardwood with area rugs). It doesn't seem to empty when needed so if you know your floor is very dirty maybe do one room and let it empty itself before moving on to the next room.
Suicide machine
Did a good job till about 3 months in, then it started falling down my stairs. I tried everything to no avail. On advice from bobsweep I bought a barrier strip. This stupid machine went right over the strip & down the stairs! Back to Sams Club we went & got a refund. I purchased this machine on sale for $199. So glad I didn't pull the trigger for $599!!
Remarkable product
I love my Bobsweep. I have other robotic vacuums this one is far better. It’s fully programmable, I like the mop feature as well as the self empty. That’s the feature I like the most. Best thing was the price. I have mine set to clean and mop every other day. Set it and forget it. Can’t say enough about Bob, although I renamed it. Overall 10 out of 10.
Location, Location, Location!
I jumped at the sale price for this machine. I had always wondered if a robot vacuum would work in my house. The good news is that the technology is very cool and does indeed work. The bad news is that it is not going to be with this vacuum. It is amazing how it maps and navigates around the house the first time you use it. It pairs easily with your phone and set up is smooth. My concern with robots was that it would get caught on throw rugs and the other items in a house. The videos always show this pristine floor with a huge open plan. that is not my house but the robot does fine, the first time. After the first time, it can't figure out where it is located and shuts down. You should be able to clean a room or a spot, but it can't do it because it throws a location error. I contacted customer service and they responded within 24 hours. The net result was that I have to reset the robot and start all over. No change. After the initial mapping, it can't figure out its location. It makes the convenience of a robot worthless. This is a no go for me, but it's not all bad. It is effective when it vacuums and self emptying is a nice feature. One other bad thing is that it doesn't know when it is full. Kind of defeats the self emptying feature, IMO. Other reviews have said it is loud, but it is no louder than a regular vacuum and is much quieter on low power. The mop feature works pretty well, too, as long as your floors are slightly dirty. It will not replace a thorough cleaning. In conclusion, I consider this a pretty good entry level self emptying robot, at the $200 sale price. It may work for you and the price is good enough to find out. It didn't work for me because of the location issue. Not knowing when it is full is also something to consider. At the full retail price, which it is now listed once again, this is absolutely not worth it. There are much better robots for much less available.
How Did I live without "Geoffrey"
I've been on this decluttering and cleaning routine for 6 months now. Life changing. I bought my first Dustin (I call him Geoffrey) last fall for the main floor. I just bought a second for upstairs. I love this. I don't know how I have lived without a robot vacuum for so many years but if you don't have one, do yourself a favor and get this. I placed an order for a different brand when this one came back on sale. I immediately cancelled the other order and bought this one. I ordered a second so the first unit doesn't wear out as quickly doing two levels. I work from home and this runs while I'm working, so when I finish my long hours, I don't have to run the vacuum. I can just clean up the kitchen. The Bobsweep works well in my house. I have carpet and hard floors and it keeps both clean and picked up. It leaves tracks in the carpet as nice as my Dyson. I have an English mastiff and they shed twice a year, six months at a time. It keeps the hair off the floor and carpet and emptying the dustbin couldn't be easier. I've just recently had to install a new brush -- even the supplies aren't expensive. Overall, I would highly recommend this purchase. It's the best money you'll spend for the convenience.
