bObsweep - UltraVision Pet Self-Empty Robot Vacuum & Mop PET24-7-915

Got one for $250 on sale from them. It’s worth about $250. Runs good. The app interface is something from the 90’s. Wouldn’t buy again.

I have a German shepherd who sheds a lot and it vacuums and mops amazing. It washes its mop pads and dries them, empties its dust and fur into a dust bag and dispenses its own cleaning solution. I do wash the mop pads once a week in the washer and dryer, keep the dirty water tank emptied after each use , and keep clean water in the clean tank. I use it every other day.

The obstacle avoidance does ok. I don’t have cords or anything lying around but I do have a huge shag rug in my living room it can’t vacuum on. I have the rug as a no clean area but it still tries to get in it at times and get stuck. After a few runs it will use intelligence hosting and ask you to update the map to help it avoid obstacles it finds. This vacuum also fits under my couch which I love.

You can change the settings for obstacle avoidance to where it really avoids them or to where it will edge around things. It edges around my kitchen table chairs and so far it seems like it’s gentle. It avoids my dog when he lays in front of it where my other vacuums would just mow him over.

Look at a roborock Q10 instead. Really look at anything from dreame, roborock, or eufy ahead of those things. That discount is fake, the bobsweep isn't and was never worth the stated full price. It's current "sale" price in reality is just a "fair-ish" price. Basically don't be swayed by the seemingly huge discount, that's just a cynical marketing maneuver and there are better choices out there. With any robot vac, if longevity is a concern, I'd look at getting an extended warranty at time of purchase. Usually they're a waste of money but in this case it's saved me.

Bobsweep is the best thing since sliced bread. Has 2 years of warranty and when you call them, a human sitting in texas or california picks up!

I actually got a bObsweep ultra vision pet (even though I don’t own pets ). On bObsweeps website and all the other places that sell it have it listed at $1200, I got it for $300 from a Best Buy bash sale two weeks ago. Have always wanted one and $900 off was just too good to pass up. I otherwise could not afford or justify the purchase. I’ll bet you they must do this sale every now and again. If I were you I’d make a list of the top 5 or so models that you want and are within price range and then drop the hammer the second it goes on sale

Kinda hard to explain but when it works as it should I think it’s one of the greatest inventions in all of mankind but when it’s bad it’s bad. Have the bobsweep ultra vision pet (don’t know that I’d recommend it). $1200 vac I got new for $300. Ran awesome for like a month and then it would only run for like 10 min, or only go to the same spot, or get caught on the 1” of exposed cord I forgot to hide from it. bobsweep ended up replacing it for me and the new one has been better so far but have only ran it a few times. Basically when it’s good it’s great, if it’s not great it’s very frustrating to deal with

Mine has the mopping and WiFi. That’s another thing about the bobsweep, I’m very into home automation and it is the only “smart” device I own that I can not integrate to home assistant which is annoying. Like I said my first bobsweep was great for the first month and then just took a nose dive performance wise. If it were a human being capable of feeling emotion, I would call it the laziest entity I’ve ever encountered. I swear it would turn on, head straight to a cord, get wrapped up in it, and then stop. Then when I found that out would untangle and it would just return to the base with like 85% battery. Then I’d start it again and it would just go to the same zone for 10 min and return back to base. If I wanted it to clean a specific room I’d literally have to carry it to that room and basically lock it in there for it to work. I’ve noticed the replacement has actually been working in more of a pattern like you’d expect a smart vac to work, similar to a Zamboni. The older one did that at first and then stopped suddenly and was totally random. Unless there was a cord around, always managed to find that

I wish I did more research before I got my bObsweep ultra pet vision. If you’re a Best Buy member it’s actually on sale for $260 today only and normally retails for $1200. - in my opinion I think it’s obstacle avoidance capabilities are pretty bad. If my life depended on it running a complete clean of my house without getting stuck on something I think I’d be a dead man. But I also don’t have any other models to compare it to, so could be par for the course for all I know - it’s the only “smart” device I own that I can not integrate with home assistant and it drives me crazy. It will pair with Amazon or googles smart home apps but only responds to extremely simple commands like start, or return to charger. A lot of other vacs are more intuitive and allow you to import its information to home assistant and design automations based on specific rooms you want cleaned, I can not do that. - the native app is awful. Like I said, it’s pretty rare that my vac runs an entire cycle successfully without getting stuck on something or running into some issue. The bObsweep app is terrible and doesn’t even allow you to send push notifications so if the vacuum runs into a problem you know you need to fix it. Or alert you at all when the cycle is complete, battery is low, any problem at all, you have to go in and proactively check which is very inconvenient

We have a Roborock Qrevo Pro and it does struggle a bit if there is too much pet hair (we have 3 shibas that sheds like crazy twice a year when they blow their coats). The suction power is only stated to be 7,000 pa and if it sucks in too much pet hair, it jams up inside the vacuum reservoir and doesn't get sucked out when it returns to the base. We also have hardwood floors throughout and just ordered the bObsweep UltraVision from Sam's Club since it is on sale through Nov 30th, marked down from $800 to $269. That one is supposed to be rated at 10,000 pa of suction power. We are planning on using it upstairs to replace a Shark robot vacuum that we've been using for almost 5 years.

Can y’all share what you disliked about Bobsweep? I’m not trying to argue - just honestly curious because my experience was the total opposite and I want to understand where you're coming from. I have a ton of reasons why I settled on Bobsweep after trying the brands you are promoting but I do not see one real reason on reditt from all these nay sayers except that the price is too high -- which I think was totally worth it.

Ugh I had one of these and it cried all the time about getting stuck on cords, under furniture, would ride up the legs of my furniture. It was a bobi pet vacuum about 5 or 6 years ago, have they come along way since then?

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).

Possible controversial suggestion, but try a Bobsweep Austin when they are on sale at BestBuy for $179. Might not last a lifetime but it will help get the job done. Had one for almost 2 years now.... hasn't been problem free, but the first year it worked like a charm. Support is pretty good at getting you replacement parts for free if it's under 2 years old.
