bObsweep - Bio Auto-Empty Robot Vacuum & Mop

Love at first sight! I got my bobsweep bio for under $400 including tax. I recommended it to my sister and mother-in-law and we all can't stop talking about how this thing was missing in our lives!

Bio plastic or not, it is a great little helper! Setting it up was a piece of cake, and there it goes picking up dirt that I could never imagine existed in my apartment.

I have a BobSweep Dustin Plus and a BobSweep Combo. They can often be gotten for less than 300. They’ve been great! The combo is basic mopping, meaning it doesn’t self refill water or automatically clean the mop heads, but both for self emptying for vacuuming. Super handy. There is a little learning curve for best use (pick up your socks and charge cables).

Sharks are terrible. They basically due a week after warranty goes. And not just a little, like unusable. They also dont do well with pet hair or larger floor plans. Roombas are fine for a couple years, but then break frequently. Customer service is good but its weeks without your vacuum. Bobsweep works well except for the self emptying. Its not everytime but about once a week, I do have to take out the debris in the Dustin as it won't go into the bin of the base. I think robot vacuums just aren't quite where people think they are.

I have not one but 2 robovacs, one of which is a "pet grade." Paid extra. Still runs over pee spots and leaves hair on the floor. What DOES help: A portable groomer pet vac that came with brushing and dentangling tools as well as shaver. The hair just gets slurped into the vacuum while grooming. The brush and fine brushes do a great job getting all the under fluff. AND, there is less on the floor after weekly grooming. Gotta bush the dog anyhow, might as well vacuum it, not the floor! This little apparatus cost $125 at Costco a couple of years ago. I have not seen it there for a while. Name brand is FurMe. Amazon and QVC both have it, for more money.

I have Roomba pet edition and one called BobSweep. Both self-emptying variety. I am much more impressed with BobSweep than the finicky Roomba that I paid extra for the "pet" edition and as mentioned it runs over dog pee anyhow and does not do a great job with slurping up dog hair.

I do not recall the specifics or model name. Just that it was a self-docking, self-emptying (inconsistent). Thus far have not had a poop problem. Just pee. Amazingly it avoids spilled water! I keep a friends' 2 dogs when she comes to visit her kids, and her boy and mine have a little territorial peeing the first day. Just little squirts... the perfect size for Roomba to find. I have 2 because of the configuration of my house and keep the dogs out of half of it. Mostly keep them out, that is. When Roomba dies I will unleash Bob into the rest of the house.

I don’t have experience with Ecovacs, but I did get a bobsweep on sale and I don’t use the mapping feature or app. I live in a tiny studio so there’s not a whole lot to clean but I’m disabled so every little bit helps. After reading the poor app reviews, I read that you don’t have to use the app, it has a “go” button that you press and it does the rest, including emptying itself at the home base. After watching it a couple of times I noticed that it does it’s best to get all the edges of an area first, then gets the middle, and when the battery starts to get low it goes back to empty and recharge. I don’t use the mop feature (I heard this brand isn’t the greatest for that) but it vacuums well. Whatever you buy make sure you get an answer about how to use your vacuum without an app and how it performs. I’m actually glad I don’t need the app and can just push the button. Some prefer the app for mapping and having a schedule set automatically for a cleaning but in my case it’s unnecessary.

The bobsweep model I have, comes with detergent. I bet that same detergent works on your model too.

We bought Bobsweep, on sale & we love it!! We are a single floor...carpet & tile. Caution is don't leave doors open 🤣 One dog two people, lot's of foot traffic

My current ones are both Bobsweeps, because Sam’s had an incredible deal a while back on them - I paid about $300 for a $1000 unit.

I have 2 Bobsweeps. The one that lives upstairs is primarily cleaning wall to wall carpet and it does fine, but it is self emptying 🤷🏼‍♀️

I had a bob sweep for my first and only robot vacuum and it was terrible. Now I’m afraid to take the plunge on an another robot vacuum to only throw away more money.
