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.
Same here. At first got the $200 model Dustin a couple of years ago which is their entry level and did the job. I am not here to glorify bobsweep because after all it is just a vacuum but recently got the UV pet and the power roar of this thing is legit monster!
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 Iknow
- 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 notdo 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

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