We keep hearing about the robot revolution, but are they going to actually be useful? Intrepid and reluctant housekeeper Dave Taylor of http://www.AskDaveTaylor.com/ finds out when he gets a bObsweep PetHair robot vacuum cleaner and lets it roam the house, harassing his cats and, yes, sucking up a quite astonishing amount of dirt and dust. The bObsweep PetHair also mops, but it doesn't yet fold the laundry, a feature that the company will hopefully add in the next generation product!

Dave Taylor here again and this time I
0:07
want you to meet Bob this is Bob this is
0:10
actually a bob sweep pet hair and Bob is
0:15
a vacuum cleaner and mopping cleaning
0:18
system and it's a robot so Bob has all
0:22
sorts of interesting features not the
0:23
least of which comes with a really cool
0:25
remote control and it's programmable and
0:28
smart and basic basically you put it
0:30
down you have a little charging station
0:32
and you just let it wander around and it
0:34
vacuums and it vacuums up dirt if you
0:37
have hardwood if it um you have tiles or
0:40
anything and if it's carpet it actually
0:42
actually will suck things up now Bob is
0:45
designed specifically for pet hair but
0:47
it's interesting because it actually
0:48
comes with a HEPA filter it has a UV
0:51
light let me show you on the bottom
0:52
there's a little UV light so it actually
0:54
can disinfect to some extent as it goes
0:57
along it has various filters and stuff
1:00
and really the real test of any vacuum
1:02
cleaner is did it actually pick up dirt
1:05
so I've let Bob run around my house for
1:07
a couple of days and let's see holy cow
1:10
this thing is
1:11
absolutely this is a little over the top
1:15
with dirt in fact it's so full of dust
1:18
and dirt that I'm surprised it hasn't
1:21
just complained and said I can't handle
1:23
this anymore and look it even picks up
1:25
cat and pet toys and stuff
1:28
so that's pretty horrifying but on the
1:31
other hand look how efficiently this
1:33
thing is working is it's just been
1:35
chugging around and it's picked up this
1:36
much dust and dirt obviously I need to
1:39
empty it and clean it but luckily while
1:42
it's been working I've been getting some
1:43
video footage so here's a couple of
1:45
examples and you know edited to be
1:48
entertaining
1:53
[Music]
2:06
it also has a lot of different
2:07
programable modes one of which is that
2:09
it has three different ways it can
2:11
approach vacuuming they have what they
2:12
call Waffle track wall track and spiral
2:16
track and you can see here in this
2:17
footage this is what spiral looks like
2:20
and I think it's really cool cuz I look
2:21
at this and I think whoa crop circles on
2:24
my carpet so that's really fun um what
2:28
else can I tell you about this it does
2:29
have a mopping ability where you put on
2:31
a little mopping attachment haven't
2:32
actually tried that yet I'm just so
2:34
excited that it can pick up clearly all
2:37
this dirt and dust and God knows what
2:39
else is in here sheesh um this is going
2:42
to take a vacuum to clean the vacuum but
2:45
you know what I'm so thrilled that all
2:47
of this is in here rather than in my
2:49
carpet so huge win right there um comes
2:52
with the HEPA filter like I said um and
2:55
mostly it's just fun and it's fun to
2:58
watch my cats interact with this thing
3:00
cuz they're pretty convinced that it's
3:01
the spawn of cat Satan and the thing
3:04
that really gets them is there's this
3:06
little Edge brush here and it spins
3:09
around and they're fascinated by this
3:11
and even when it's off they will go up
3:14
and they'll want to like attack this
3:15
thing cuz they're sure that it's like
3:17
taking over the house and not in a good
3:18
way but my whole take is I don't like
3:21
doing chores and I really don't like
3:24
vacuuming and if I can just have this
3:26
thing cruising around every single day
3:28
and it's picking up even just 90 or 80%
3:31
of my dust and dirt and clearly it's
3:33
doing a lot better than that then that
3:35
by itself makes it a huge win so now let
3:38
me tell you that you can learn more at
3:40
Bob sweep. comom and if you buy it
3:43
through Bob sweep. comom it's pretty
3:45
steep it's up there about 669 bucks but
3:49
go check it out on Amazon and at Amazon
3:51
they have these massive discounts so
3:54
this device the whole Pet Hair Design
3:56
which is supposed to have a larger
3:58
holding tank and it's supposed to have
4:01
more aggressive brushes and everything
4:03
that whole setup with the charging
4:05
station with the remote control with the
4:07
device that let you block out certain
4:09
parts in your home etc etc etc all of
4:12
that comes and it runs $279 on Amazon
4:15
with free shipping so that is less than
4:18
the cost of a decent vacuum cleaner and
4:20
this thing does the work for you so how
4:21
can that not be awesome and by the way
4:23
if you have steps or anything it cons
4:26
sense get to the edge of the step and
4:27
then not fall down so then it'll back up
4:29
and and and go away from it and so far I
4:33
will say it does tend to get caught up
4:35
in wires so I've had to go and sort of
4:37
rethink how some of the power cords are
4:40
and man it finds a lot of cat toys and
4:43
those cat toys almost invariably jam it
4:46
up and I just have to pull them out so
4:48
I'm in now this duel with the cats cuz
4:50
they find the cat toys on window Ledges
4:53
or on tables and then they knock them
4:54
off onto the floor and then Bob picks
4:56
them up and then Bob says whoa I'm
4:58
clogged there's something wrong and by
5:00
the way the Bob display is really really
5:02
informative so if you're worried that
5:04
you're going to get error 3 error 2
5:06
error 9 it really comes with nice
5:08
informative messages when something
5:10
happens so it's really easy to deal with
5:12
anyway I need to clean this I need to
5:15
get Bob back to work clearly he's doing
5:17
a great job and I'll encourage you to
5:19
check it out the Bob sweep pet hair and
5:22
this is Dave Taylor and I'll catch you
5:23
in my next video
