" ... We have one low pile rug and he has no trouble negotiating it. ... "
" ... It does a great job picking up daily dirt ,pet hair, cat litter, etc. ... :) I love that it can get under furniture and places a traditional vacuum can't fit, too. ... It would be cool if it could "learn" the layout of the house a little better and maybe remember which rooms it had cleaned last, so that if it runs out of juice before finishing, it would know to go back to the rooms it didn't get last time, the next time it starts up. ... I do not have time to vacuum as much as I'd like considering the pet situation, and now the floor is always clean! ... "
" ... It scoops up dirt and dog hair with ease. ... "
" ... I have her set on a timer to clean every other day and she picks up an unbelievable amount from both the carpets and hardwood floors. ... "
" ... I've ben super pleased with bob sweep pet version. ... "
" ... He will not completely eliminate your vacuum, what he does do is keep your floors neat and tidy so you only need to pull the big dog out on occasion. ... Our floor has never been so consistently clean however and we have a big hairy dog. ... Its great coming home from work and having clean floors, right down to the lines in the carpet. ... Aside from the cleaning out of his dustbin, which i really only do about once a week now that our floors are pretty clean. ... You have to clean his brushes and there is a rubber brush that my wifes long hair just seems to destroy(hair gets wrapped around the brush and cuts little grooves into it) this doesnt seem to have any real impact on the function of bobi but sooner or later it will. ... "
" ... That said, I like it much more than expected - it is a beautiful chrome/mirror finish that looks really elegant (but shows fingerprints, if that's of concern). ... We empty the dust bin A LOT - recommended is approximately 1x/week, but I would say every other day. ... "
" ... She transfers from my hardwood floors to the rugs easily and cleans up all the dog hair. ... "

" ... I am somewhat of a neat freak and love that I can have Bobi vacuum everyday to keep the floors tidy. ... The thing he doesn’t know was Bobi would likely just vacuum around them. ... "
" ... Over the last 10 years, I've owned 3 Roombas, 1 BobSweep and now the new bObi Pet vacuum. ... "
" ... I would recommend this unit to anyone looking for a top notch robot vacuum!!!! ... If youre reading this review, that means you are in the market for a robot vacuum, look no further. ... "
" ... I think they both a decent job - but still need to bring out a regular vacuum once a week to get the places that they did not. ... "
" ... Having a robot vacuum with such a low profile makes vacuuming under beds and other furniture a breeze. ... "
" ... I just wanted to write this review so that it may help anyone that is considering a bObi vacuum. ... "
" ... One cannot expect little bObi Pet to do the job a handheld vacuum can. ... "

" ... I have a 2 story house and have been thinking about buying a 2nd one to leave up there and keep my current one downstairs. ... "
" ... I have two dogs and two cats, so this was exactly what I needed to keep the house ongoingly fresh. ... "
" ... Our home is about 1200 square feet and her reach appears to extend to about half of this area, which I deem good but again this is my first experience with such a time saving product that it's all good to me. ... "

" ... The charge lasts longer and she is able to clean my entire apartment without recharging. ... "
" ... (bObi runs for about 2 hours when her battery is new, and eventually runs for less and less time over the course of a couple years, and then you get a replacement battery before your warrentee runs out, which worked great for me.) ... "

"

" ... The charge lasts longer and she is able to clean my entire apartment without recharging. ... "
" ... There will be the occasion where bobi wants to play hide and seek, so you will come home and see hes not in his charging station. ... "
" ... We haven't experimented much with locating her charging station in different places, so we may be able to resolve this. ... "
" ... The battery life is phenomenal and since she charges herself when she’s low there’s no work involved in my end. ... "
" ... Bobby was packaged well and I let him charge overnight. ... "

" ... She makes my life so much easier and comes with a remote control. ... "
" ... Instead of sitting on the floor to set her program at the docking station, the remote controller now stores all the programming. ... But using the remote to guide her is significantly easier than the old remote. ... "
" ... We haven't tried some of the features such as the remote timer or the mop function, but will update the review once we have. ... "
