bObsweep
bObsweep is a robotic vacuum cleaner manufactured by a Canadian company of the same name.[1]
Founded in Toronto, in 2011, 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 simultaneously vacuum, sweep or mop, and sterilize the floor with UV light.[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] On some models the vacuum’s daily cleaning schedule can be set using the remote.[6] The bObsweep models have the largest dustbin in the industry with a 1L dustbin.[7]
The vacuums will automatically avoid obstacles,[8] but reviewers have found that they occasionally need repositioning if there are many small obstacles and areas where they can become trapped.[9] One more feature is a dog sensor, which causes the vacuum to change direction to avoid pets.[10] The bObi model has a spot cleaning mode called "waffle" which gets its name from the way it cleans up problem areas in a grid pattern.[11]
Like other high-end robotic vacuums, bObsweep models have a process for avoiding specific areas of a room where there is no physical barrier,[12] with the difference that bObsweep's barrier system allows you to create up to two perpendicular barriers simultaneously.[13]
The bObsweep company uses all recyclable material to make its products.[14] The products use reusable dustbins rather than disposable bags.[15] They also include an ultraviolet light to sterilize surfaces.[16]
