User Manual bObsweep WP460012 PetHair Robot Vacuum and Mop

Yes, the bObsweep has sensors underneath to sense whether there is floor beneath it. It will sense the edge of the stairs and turn around. However, the sensors don't work very well over dark areas of the floor/rug and so will often read these dark spots as areas where it shouldn't go. My bObsweep wouldn't vacuum my area rug for this reason and I had to use "blindfold" stickers that "blind" these sensors. This fixed the dark spots on the rug problem, but means that the vacuum no longer avoids stairs. When we use it upstairs, we put up a child safety gate so it won't go down them.

It does fairly well. We have a boxer and a golden. The main brush will get very clogged up with hair to the point where the unit will shut down every other use or so but it's easy to clean. As long as you clean it out after every use you'll be fine.

No. it has a pad that you wet. I have never personally used it for this purpose. Just as a sweeper

The exact runtime depends on the age of the battery and the type of surface Bob is cleaning; the younger the battery and the smoother the cleaning surface, the longer
the runtime. The normal runtime range for Bob is 45 – 90 minutes. Bob’s battery comes with a 2-year warranty and should last for several years. To conserve Bob’s battery,
do not leave him on his charging station for more than 5 days. If you are not using Bob regularly, remove him from his station and flip his power switch OFF.

Auto 1 is Bob’s default cleaning mode and gives him enough time to thoroughly cover a large area. On Auto 1, Bob will clean for about 45 – 90 minutes before returning to his charging station when low on battery. If you would like Bob to clean a smaller area, you may use Auto 2, which lasts 30 minutes, or Auto 3, which lasts 15 minutes. Spot 1 and Spot 2 modes are best used when cleaning small spills. On Spot 1, Bob travels in a gradually widening spiral; on Spot 2, Bob travels in a grid pattern. Select Wall
