bObsweep - PetHair SLAM Wi-Fi Connected Robot Vacuum Cleaner - Jasper

The PetHair SLAM is fantastic! My wife and I previously had a PetHair Plus and while it was great for over 5 years, it was getting harder to repair and getting stuck on a lot of our odd surfaces. The SLAM literally improves in almost every aspect of the Plus. Before jumping into the SLAM review, it’s worth mentioning that bObsweep is fantastic when it comes to availability of repair parts and repairability of any of their vacuums. We were able to keep our PetHair Plus running quite well on a daily basis for many years due to being able to replace parts as needed. There is nothing worse than having to throw an entire appliance in the trash due to one small but critical component being broken. It does a great service to the environment and sustainability of the product (and our wallets) to be able to repair only what is needed, as needed, without having to take or send the product anywhere. Now on to the SLAM review… The SLAM has amazing battery life - it covers our entire first floor (approximately 900 sq ft) and still goes over it multiple times. You can easily map out zones you want Bob to avoid (rather than the previous blocks). It navigates SO WELL and even when it does run into things, it’s very gentle. It easily maneuvers over all the odd features on our floors like uneven thresholds. Last but not least, it’s incredibly quiet and we can now have it running without needing to yell over it. We have 5 pets (2 golden retrievers, 3 cats), so we end up with a lot of hair in our house. We have Bob do mostly hardwood, but he also needs to go over rugs and avoid water dishes. He avoids the dishes with ease (again with the mapping feature), and with a couple simple carpet floor grips, Bob can also get over our thicker rug quite easily. On top of that, he manages to avoid our pets when they’re in the way. Ultimately, he does a great job cleaning up all the mess they leave behind no matter where it ends up. One other note with the pets - they have toys everywhere, particularly under the couches and Bob can not only get under there, the SLAM does a great job picking up hair and debris while avoiding getting stuck on their smaller toys which the former PetHair Plus struggled with. Also gotta mention how user-friendly the app is. Super simple to understand and manage bob’s schedule, map, updates, etc. Last but not least, we love the logical path the SLAM takes as it cleans and it is incredibly efficient at finding its way back home. Long story short, this new SLAM is a huge upgrade and we couldn’t be happier with our purchase.

When Bob arrived, he had a cute little "birth certificate" including his name, weight, etc. I am 65 years old and I was so tired of sweeping, so I gave him a try and I am glad I did! He is so smart and effective! My floors have never been cleaner! I am so glad I bought him. He does need maintenance, though, and I could not get the app to work.
