Orb-i

My Orb-i does it too

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 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.
