BObsweep
bObsweep is a robotic vacuum cleaner manufactured by a Canadian company of the same name.[1]
Originally founded in Toronto, in 2015 the company operates in both Canada and the USA. As of 2015 it sells four models of robotic vacuums: bObsweep, bObsweep PetHair, bObi and bObi Pet.[1] All models can vacuum and sweep or mop simultaneously[2]
All models have features similar to other robotic vacuums: programmable cleaning schedule, HEPA filters, RoHS certificate, auto return to charging station;[3][4] they also come with a remote control.[5]
The vacuums will automatically avoid obstacles, but reviewers have found that they occasionally need repositioning if there are many small obstacles and areas where they can become trapped.[6] One more feature is a dog sensor, which causes the vacuum to change direction to avoid pets.[7] The bObi model has a spot cleaning mode called "waffle mode" which gets its name from the way it cleans up problem areas in a grid pattern.[8] Unlike some other programmable vacuums, the 2015 bObSweep models do not have a process for avoiding specific areas of a room where there is no physical barrier.[9]
The bObsweep company uses all recyclable material to make its products.[10] The products use reusable dustbins rather than disposable bags.[11] They also include an ultraviolet light to sterilize surfaces.[12]
