What is "bobsweep"

bObsweep is a robotic vacuum cleaner manufactured by a Canadian company of the same name.

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. All models can vacuum and sweep or mop simultaneously

All models have features similar to other robotic vacuums: programmable cleaning schedule, HEPA filters, RoHS certificate, auto return to charging station; they also come with a remote control.

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. One more feature is a dog sensor, which causes the vacuum to change direction to avoid pets. 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. 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.

The bObsweep company uses all recyclable material to make its products. The products use reusable dustbins rather than disposable bags. They also include an ultraviolet light to sterilize surfaces.
