when it comes to cleaning my house this
0:02
is my new best friend let's check it
0:05
[Music]
0:11
out Dave Taylor here and if you're like
0:14
me you like to have your house clean but
0:16
the last thing you want to do is
0:18
actually do the cleaning itself so enter
0:22
robots right we're in that age of robots
0:24
and Ai and everything and that's where
0:26
this comes into play let me show you
0:28
what it is this is the Bob sweep Dustin
0:34
robot mop and vacuum cleaner and as you
0:36
can see it's a pretty modest size it's
0:39
12 1/2 in around and it is going to now
0:42
try to work let's get this back on the
0:45
charging station so it just chills out
0:47
and doesn't end up going around here but
0:51
it is a really slick device because it
0:54
actually does a really good job with
0:56
mopping and vacuuming and it has enough
1:00
parts that I don't have to do any prep I
1:03
don't have to close any doors or
1:04
anything I've just used the app that
1:06
they include to mark off zones that it
1:09
can mop zones that it can't go into and
1:12
so on so it really is a twom mode vacuum
1:17
and it has a mopping attachment and if
1:20
you put this on it's in mopping mode so
1:24
you don't want to have that on and then
1:26
go on the carpet so this means that you
1:29
have two different ways you can use it
1:31
you can put this on put some water in
1:34
the water bin and I'll show you that in
1:35
just a second and then it can work on
1:38
just your hardwood or tile surfaces and
1:42
let's jump in and have a super speeded
1:44
up demo of how well it mops my kitchen
2:02
you can also put the attachment on and
2:04
not have any water in which case it does
2:06
what they call polishing which for tiles
2:09
I don't know but for wood floors it's
2:11
going to make them look actually pretty
2:13
nice and what's worth noting is that
2:15
when you have this on when you have this
2:17
attachment connected it's still also
2:20
vacuuming so it's going to pick up all
2:22
the bits and do the mopping now is it as
2:25
good as someone who's really focused and
2:28
dipping the mop in soapy water and
2:30
rinsing it off no but is it a whole lot
2:33
better than doing nothing absolutely and
2:36
then you take this off and now it's in
2:38
vacuum mode and in that mode what I've
2:41
done is I've gone onto the map and I've
2:43
specified different boundaries because
2:46
prior to this unit every time I had my
2:49
Robot vacuum running I had to walk
2:51
around the house and move some things
2:53
around and I had a couple of chairs that
2:55
were just their legs were just wide
2:57
enough that the old vacuum would get
2:59
stuck underneath and get confused super
3:02
annoying but with this none of that
3:04
happens it's really quite remarkable I
3:06
just press the go button or actually get
3:09
that on the app and it just does its
3:11
thing if it sees anything it's going to
3:13
go around it and in fact here let me
3:16
zoom in here a little bit and show you
3:19
what it looks like when it's vacuuming
3:21
my carpet and this is a little bit
3:22
longer segment
3:25
[Music]
3:41
[Music]
3:58
one of the other super notable things is
4:00
that you're looking at this charging
4:02
station and saying it's pretty big
4:04
what's the deal with that and the deal
4:06
with it is that there's a vacuum bag
4:09
inside let me just pop it off of here
4:11
and show you so every time that this
4:15
comes to the base station not only does
4:18
it begin charging but it actually
4:20
empties itself which is just glorious
4:24
because I am so tired of emptying dirt
4:27
and dust and pet hair and everything out
4:30
of my vacuum cleaner so the idea that it
4:32
can do it all by itself is lovely now it
4:35
won't do it this time cuz it hasn't done
4:37
a vacuum cycle but uh I think it's just
4:41
really upset with how I've moved things
4:42
around here so let me show you what it
4:45
looks like when it goes onto the dock
4:47
and the dock actually sucks all the dirt
4:50
and dust out of the Dustin so nice
5:08
and the charging station has a 1gallon
5:11
dust capacity so you are going to have
5:13
to replace these dust bags occasionally
5:16
they say it'll run 70 to 90 days I am
5:19
sure that is the function of how dirty
5:21
your house is and my house gets a lot of
5:23
dust and dirt I'm not sure why and then
5:25
when my daughter's dog comes over then
5:27
all bets are off he sheds like he wants
5:30
to have spare puppies around him that
5:31
are just made out of his own fur it's
5:34
alarming but suffice to say you will
5:37
need to occasionally replace these just
5:39
like a regular vacuum cleaner bag and
5:40
the good news is if you go onto the Bob
5:43
sweep site they're $4.99 for a vacuum
5:47
bag so get a set of three put them in
5:49
the closet and whenever this fills up
5:51
then just swap it out for another one
5:53
super easy now in terms of vacuum power
5:56
this is up to 5,000 pascals and that's a
6:00
measure of how much it sucks in the
6:03
literal sense not in the you know
6:05
figurative sense um and you can use that
6:08
to compare how strong different vacuum
6:10
cleaners are but honestly when it's
6:12
right there and you can run it every
6:14
single day it doesn't need to be
6:16
enormously powerful and in the app you
6:18
can adjust how much power you want So
6:21
speaking of which let's jump into the
6:24
Bob sweep app and let me show you just a
6:26
couple of things about it and as you can
6:29
see it's bright and cheery and easy to
6:32
work with and I can set up schedules if
6:35
I want to just have it do every day at
6:37
10:00 a.m. do a vacuum through the house
6:39
or something easy to do let's go into
6:42
map and in map you can see here that
6:45
I've labeled my rooms and that big spot
6:49
on the bottom is actually the no mop
6:52
zone so I've done that so that when I do
6:54
have the mop attachment it does my
6:57
kitchen and it does my family room and
7:00
then it just stops at those boundaries
7:02
and goes back to the base station super
7:04
easy if I take this off it ignores the
7:07
no mop Zone and then it just looks at
7:09
the no sweep zones which I have set up
7:11
as a as lines as boundaries saying don't
7:15
go in my office it would be a nightmare
7:18
to have this thing vacuum over all of my
7:20
wires so that's just a noggo Zone super
7:23
easy to work with and you can edit
7:26
things and label your map I I'll show
7:28
you the schedule so I can set up a
7:31
cleaning schedule and just have it I
7:34
really like the idea although generally
7:36
I don't actually do that and then
7:38
settings so cleaning preferences you can
7:41
specify that you don't want it to
7:43
self-empty every single time if that's
7:45
something that annoys you um you can set
7:48
your vacuum power I obviously have mine
7:51
set to maximum you can set I keep going
7:55
back too far your mop mode so now I
7:58
might turn the mop off cuz I have the
8:00
mop attachment detached from the Dustin
8:04
and auto resume this is really great
8:07
because this sort of lets you not worry
8:10
about how much charge and power it has
8:12
and I'll tell you it's pretty good it's
8:14
a 3100 Milah hour battery that gives you
8:17
90 minutes of runtime 90 minutes is a
8:19
lot but it moves kind of slowly so if
8:22
you have an enormous space that might
8:25
not be enough for it to do the full
8:26
vacuum so what it'll do is if you have
8:29
this Auto resume on it will
8:31
automatically go back to the base
8:33
station charge and then jump back out
8:37
and resume where it ended so if you're
8:41
at work and it takes 8 hours who cares
8:44
by the end of each vacuum session it
8:46
will have done every single spot it can
8:48
get to and then Edge detections pretty
8:51
important but it can get a little
8:54
confused with the different colors of
8:55
carpets and different times of day if
8:58
you have an area that has really direct
9:00
sunlight and a and a very sharp edge on
9:03
the edge of that then what they say is
9:05
you want to let Dustin run around and
9:08
map that area multiple times during
9:11
different times of the day so it'll
9:13
better be able to detect that that's a
9:16
sunlight Edge not a physical um object
9:19
Edge you can also mute it if you want
9:22
you can check for software updates
9:25
there's just a lot you can do here and I
9:27
really like the app I think it's really
9:29
easy easy to work with and if I wanted
9:31
to charge I'll push charge and it should
9:33
just pull itself back to the base
9:35
station we'll see what happens with that
9:37
let's keep my phone out of the way I
9:39
should say it comes with an excellent
9:42
owner's guide this is really one of the
9:43
best I've ever seen it is comprehensive
9:46
It is Well laid out well designed it
9:50
offers QR codes if you want to get more
9:52
information on specific things um Dustin
9:55
might be having a small panic attack
9:57
right now trying to figure out what's
9:59
where
9:59
cuz it's still thinking that the base
10:02
station's actually behind my camera so
10:04
this will be a good test to see if it
10:06
can figure this
10:07
out don't vacuum up my
10:10
phone so um I don't think it's designed
10:14
to work on a kitchen counter but you
10:16
know we're going to see what happens so
10:18
now let me tell you a little more about
10:20
it CU it also is Alexa and Google home
10:22
friendly and it does that by using lidar
10:25
and Q slam and the lidar I like what
10:30
these acronyms stand for so liar and Q
10:32
slam are mapping algorithms and lar is
10:35
light detection and ranging pretty cool
10:38
but Q slam is really a great definition
10:40
it's Quantum simultaneous localization
10:44
and mapping and Dustin is still trying
10:46
to figure out what the heck's going on
10:48
here so its Edge detection is working
10:51
beautifully it has not fallen off my
10:53
counter and it's interesting that it
10:55
doesn't seem to see this but again this
10:59
is is really not an actual demo of how
11:01
the vacuum cleaner works because
11:03
obviously I'm not going to vacuum my
11:04
kitchen counter so that's chugging along
11:08
I've told you pretty much everything
11:09
about it it's vacuum power you've seen
11:11
demos of it mopping and vacuuming and I
11:15
think I'm just going to stop here
11:17
because it's obviously just having a
11:19
really hard time with this so that's
11:21
okay I will help it out now let me show
11:24
you since it's off of this that on the
11:28
front here here are the charging tabs
11:31
and then if you push this this whole
11:33
unit comes off now let me show you that
11:36
on the top this is where the dust and
11:40
dirt goes and then above that there is a
11:44
little filter to try to maximize how
11:47
clean it gets and then next to that is a
11:51
little tab here and if you open this
11:53
that's where you put in water and then
11:55
the mop itself just simply attaches is
12:00
like that so it's that easy and then
12:02
when you're done with the mop it just
12:04
pops off and what I've been doing is
12:07
I've just been leaving it on top of the
12:09
unit because that seems like a pretty
12:11
easy way to work with it and then it
12:13
just slides back in let me just get to
12:15
the right
12:17
spot there we go and I will help Dustin
12:20
out by putting him back on the charge
12:25
space so that should make him happy and
12:29
that makes me happy and having one of
12:31
these will make you happy I will say
12:34
this is the best robot vacuum cleaner
12:37
I've ever used and I've gone through
12:39
quite a few of these and it's mopping
12:41
actually accomplishes something you
12:43
could see in that earlier video it
12:45
actually is covering all of the surface
12:48
and it does like a 50% overlap on each
12:51
um pass back and fourth so it maximizes
12:55
the amount of coverage that it does and
12:57
it actually does a nice job and I find
12:59
that I can just let it run and my
13:01
kitchen floor looks nice and clean again
13:03
which is something that I don't want to
13:05
do so the fact that DUS can do it for me
13:08
absolute win so it's everything I got
13:11
I'll tell you that sizewise it's 12 1/2
13:13
in across 3 and 1/2 in tall it's 6 lb it
13:17
comes in black or navy and I'm going to
13:20
ask you to subscribe to my channel click
13:22
or tap on that subscribe button hit that
13:24
Bell icon for notifications give me a
13:27
thumbs up if you found this to be a
13:29
value and I certainly hope you did
13:31
that's what I got so this is the Dustin
13:35
the Bob sweep Dustin robot mop and
13:37
vacuum cleaner and it is 829 at Bobs
13:41
sweep. comom that might sound a little
13:43
spendy but if you've had to pay someone
13:45
to come in and clean your house on a
13:47
daily or weekly basis this pays for
13:49
itself pretty darn quickly and you can
13:52
run it every single day and the addition
13:56
of having this um self emptying charge
13:59
station fantastic I really really like
14:02
this it's the most hands-off device I've
14:05
had in my house in a while so it's what
14:08
I got I need to get Dustin back on the
14:10
floor so he doesn't have a little tiny
14:12
panic attack and I'll hope to catch you
14:15
in my next video
