Dustin

So far I've been very impressed with the Bobsweep Dustin . It doesn't like socks, string, ribbon or paper towels on the floor, but who does? Anything larger than that it avoids. If it encounters the above, it notifies me what's wrong and where it is and how to clear it. Several places have Bobsweep models on sale for Christmas (including Sam's). I haven't been disappointed with the product nor the app.

I bought a cheap one with Lidar from Sams Club for $200 (bObsweep Dustin). Literally life-changing. Sure sometimes it gets stuck when i forget a cord, or the map gets confused and has to reset. But it's so convenient and really does get 95% of what i would normally vacuum. Highly recommend

I had a Dustin and recently upgraded to an ecovacs t80s. There's no comparison. The Dustin was constantly choking on dog hair and the navigation was poor. It was still useful enough that we ran it for 2 years, but I would imagine that even today's $200 offerings would run circles around it. The t80s has yet to have even a single hair wrap incident, much less one that would cause it to throw an error or stop working.

I just bought the Bobsweep Dustin on sale for $180 US from Sam’s Club and it mops and vacuums surprisingly good

I really like my Bobsweep "Dustin" I got from Sam's club

I’ve only ever owned one robot vacuum and it's the BobSweep Dustin, so I can't compare to other brands. I bought it because it was on sale at Best Buy and the reviews were decent, so I decided to give it a try. So far, I’m 100% satisfied. I set it to vacuum every night, and my floors have never been this clean. We have a cat, and that’s never been an issue. I clean the roller and wheels about once a month, but most of what I have to remove is my girlfriend’s long hair. It comes with a base that automatically empties the robot and collects the dust in a bag. The robot itself is very quiet. I run it on the lowest setting and can barely hear it. The base is pretty loud when it empties the robot, but you can choose not to empty it after every run. In my case, I set it to never auto-empty and just run it manually from time to time. Some negative reviews mentioned the app felt a bit outdated, but personally I think it works really well. I've never used the mopping function. Can't say if it's good or not but I have a feeling it's not. I don't use it because I feel it would vacuum wet dust and it could create mold or whatever. Edit: just wanted to add, I bought it for CAD $239 instead on $999. I would never pay full price for it. But if you find it heavily discounted I think it's worth it.

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.
