Reliable, great mopping (lifts pads), but poor cable avoidance.

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
Thanks for the shoutout! I agree, I would definitely recommend avoiding this robot at all costs. Everything about testing the Dustin was awful. The app is super unpolished, the robot is buggy, and the pickup is terrible. I find their pricing schemes super predatory, and this is what they do for all their products.
The narrative you are pushing is simply untrue, or at least today is an example of it being not true. With a quick search you can see that right now, Shark Navigator (Self-Empty) is the current best seller on Bestbuy and is priced at $699.99 (without even a lidar). Dustin has a lidar and is a thousand times better than that and it is only $729.99 which is $29.99 more expensive. Shark is on sale today and Dustin is NOT. Bobsweep has another self-empty with lidar model that is one step down from Dustin and that is $599.99 today which is the absolute lowest priced self-emptying robot that has lidar and is sold by best buy right now which is among the top selling. It is not on sale--so no, bobsweep is not always on sale. You are making an accusation based on a vague perception that is verifiably incorrect.
