BobSweep PetHair SLAM 2024 Review

If you want to manifest the saying, “Pet hair, don’t care,” then this BobSweep PetHair SLAM review is for you! Keeping your house clean can be a massive challenge if you have pets that shed. Constantly sweeping up that loose fur can be tiring, that’s why you need help in the form of this hybrid robot vacuum. Let’s find out what it is all about.

Overall Design and Build

Looking sleek with its modern design, the BobSweep PetHair SLAM comes in three colors: Jet (black), Jade (green), and Jasper (red). Its dimensions are 13 x 13 x 4 inches, and it weighs 6.5 lbs, with rounded edges that allow it to navigate tight spaces easily. Getting rid of dirt and fur under your furniture is made effortless.

This robot cleaner has a high-gloss black finish with metallic accents, giving it a sophisticated and elegant look. It is made with durable ABS plastic, giving the robot a robust and scratch-free build. This means it can withstand everyday collisions and bumps without breaking, denting, or cracking. Plus, it looks good enough to blend with your home decor.

Its tempered glass top lets you see through the dustbin while the rubber bumper protects it from accidental collisions. It has silicone wheels that give traction on hard floors and carpets. Overall, the BobSweep PetHair SLAM design is a unique marriage of style and functionality.

Performance and Cleaning

The BobSweep PetHair SLAM is a lean, mean cleaning machine, thanks to its LiDAR mapping system that creates an accurate map of your home. It promises impressive precision that prevents it from missing corners or getting lost. You can control this via the app by setting “Draw NoSweep™” to avoid areas such as those with delicate vases, rugs, or pet feeding stations.

It has an adjustable suction that provides powerful vacuuming capabilities. Its TurboLift™ Vacuum feature can easily lift fur off floors with its triple brush system designed to capture pet hair, dander, and dust bunnies. Its noise level stays low to keep your home peaceful even at night.

The BobSweep PetHair SLAM has a mopping feature that you can use to clean up light spills and dust. However, this feature is only an attachment, and this robot is primarily a vacuum. For larger spills, you will still need a traditional mopping or deep cleaning.

This robot vacuum also has additional features, which we listed below:

Auto Recharge: you’ll never run out of juice midway through a cleaning session with the BobSweep PetHair SLAM. It is smart enough to monitor its battery levels, so when it is running low, it automatically comes back to its docking station to recharge itself. Then, it resumes its cleaning where it left off. This way, you’ll be sure to get a completed and uninterrupted cleaning, which is especially helpful in larger homes.

Audio Alerts: The BobSweep PetHair SLAM will notify you about its cleaning status, errors, and other functions. You won’t have to second-guess if the cleaning is done or there are issues.

Large Dustbin: you won’t have to frequently empty the dustbin, thanks to its large capacity.

Stair & Obstacle Detection: the Bob is equipped with advanced sensors that help the robot identify stairs and other obstacles to prevent falls and bumps. 

Drak Carpet Cleaning: BobSweep has a feature that uses cleaning algorithms to automatically adjust the power suction to clean carpets without damaging their hairs. You no longer have to worry about dark carpets fading or wearing away.

The BobSweep PetHair SLAM App

The BobSweep PetHair SLAM has its own app that you can use to control and monitor your robot vacuum. It has a clean and intuitive interface that displays the robot’s status, battery level, and a map of the cleaned areas. You can also schedule cleaning sessions via the app with just a few taps to create your desired cleaning routines.

In addition, you can also start and stop the cleaning process through the app. It also integrates with smart home systems such as Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa. When you connect Bob to Wi-FI, it can identify different rooms and map areas of your home at first glance. 

Maintenance and Battery Life

The BobSweep PetHair SLAM has an impressive battery life. It lets you clean your homes for up to 120 minutes on a single charge. This means uninterrupted cleaning as it covers a wide range of floor space. This is the ideal robot for large spaces with multiple pets.

Recharging is also easy as you only need to place Bob on its docking station, and the magnetic connection will do the rest. You only need to wait around 3 to 4 hours for the robot vacuum to fully charge, which you can monitor through the app or the cleaner’s LED indicators.

Furthermore, maintaining the BobSweep PetHair SLAM requires no complex rules and tedious work. You need to empty the dustbin after cleaning and clean the filters weekly with warm water and a gentle detergent. You should also remove the brushes and wash them, although less frequently, especially if they get clogged heavily. Replacing the filters and brushes every 6 to 12 months is also recommended, depending on your usage.
