The bObsweep Bob Pro received much praise from testers for its three-hour battery life. Because of this, product specialists from Rtings could clean up large areas of living space during their experiments without getting as tired as they would using the handheld Dyson Micro vacuum.
The robot vacuum also had testers from Smart Robot Reviews schedule its cleaning intervals, and since it ships with a remote control, they didn’t have to rely on an Internet connection or app to switch it on.
Critics also praised the build quality of the BoB Pro, and since it is not as big as some of the best self-propelled vacuums, it is much easier to store when not in use.
Still, the bObsweep Bob Pro has some shortcomings.
Experts found it was not good at cleaning carpets since it could only pick up 60% and 23% of large and small debris on low pile carpets, and 46% and 26% of large and small debris on high pile carpets. They also didn’t appreciate its lack of a HEPA filter and its mediocre build quality.
