bObi will maneuver across all floors and surfaces, automatically going back to her charging station when her battery falls below 15%. bObi will concentrate on a small spill area, traveling in a grid pattern (waffle shape).Charging Station + Adapter | Blö Bristled Brush (installed) | Rubber Duster Brush (installed) | Side Brush (installed) | 12.6 x 12.6 x 3.4 inches 13.4 pounds (View shipping rates and policies) #65,992 in Home and Kitchen (See Top 100 in Home and Kitchen)rainbow vacuum cleaner for mattress #28 in Industrial & Scientific > Janitorial & Sanitation Supplies > Floor Care > Vacuums > Indoor Vacuums > Robotic Vacuumscordless vacuum cleaner robot #103 in Home & Kitchen > Vacuums & Floor Care > Vacuums > Robotic Vacuumsvacuum cleaner skateboard

We have had "Bobbi" for 7 months. I did a lot of research on which was the best robotic vacuum for the money. I decided on Bobbi. A very good decision. We own the bobsweep and love it! Makes life easier when I run out of time to vacuum! Customer service is awesome too. Loved our Bob, but he kept getting stuck under our counters in the kitchen. The customer service staff was incredible though and helped me solve the issue with a Bobi! bObi's probably my new best friend, and I'm thankful to have her around in my home! My roommate, whom I love dearly, sheds hair like there's no tomorrow. I am such a huge fan of my Bobbi! I have a dog, cat, bird, kid and a husband! Needless to say my floors can get pretty dirty! This robotic vacuum cleaner does exactly what you expect it to do. Sometimes it does things better than you expect, and sometimes it'll do things not quite as well as you'd... bObi has been incredible! I got her because of a dog that sheds beyond belief and not only does the hair get picked up, but plenty of other yuck!

I own the B0bi classic for an year now. I am very happy with it. My kitchen is always clean thanks to Bobi vacuum cleaner.So easy to use and clean. I'll say this when Bobi is working it works great. I have laminate flooring with an area rug. It'll run for about 90 minutes and picks up a lot every time.Product Description (of Version 2.0) Imagine pushing a button, walking away, and having clean floors an hour later. That futuristic scenario is now here with the Trilobite, the hands-free, "intelligent" robotic vacuum first introduced in Europe by Electrolux. While it isn't the first robotic home vacuum, the Trilobite is a major leap in home robotic technology–one that is reflected in its price. Where other small, round semi-autonomous vacuums are essentially "dumb" robots that randomly move about a room, the Trilobite uses a type of radar that maps a room and then plots a course based on previous cleaning travels. The name comes from the hard-shelled sea creature from the Paleozoic era (betwen 250 to 560 million years ago) that roamed the ocean floor during, feeding on particles and small animals.

Today's Trilobite has been in the works since 1997, when its prototype was introduced on the BBC technology program, Tomorrow's World, and it has been perfected at Electrolux's development facilities in Sweden. The round, red Trilobite uses ultrasound technology to see obstacles and avoid them. Much like a bat, which emits a high-pitched sound to create a personal sonar reading of its landscape, the Trilobite pings 60,000 Hz ultrasound vibrations at surfaces to create a map of the room and remember it for future assignments. This computer processing power is what raises the Trilobite's profile over the competition, whose vacuuming robots can only react to a situation (such as bumping into something) and cannot store data into memory. Start the Trilobite by pressing the power button and answering yes to the question, "Start cleaning?" that appears on its LCD screen. The Trilobite then moves to the nearest wall, following along the edges of the room to create an inner picture of the room.

This wall phase (the Normal mode of operation) forms the basis for calculation of the time required for cleaning of the open spaces that follows. The sonar detects any obstacles–blocks left on the floor, chair legs, a dog's water bowl–and a new path is quickly calculated. Transition between hard floors and carpet takes place effortlessly. The Trilobite also offers two other operation modes. The Quick mode, which is good for a small room or last-minute tidying before the in-laws arrive, skips the wall measurement and moves about the room randomly for around 20 minutes. If you've just dumped a bag of flour on the floor or the kids have tracked an inordinate amount of dirt in from the backyard, the Spot mode can concentrate on an area about 3 feet (1 meter) square, covering every part in a maze-like pattern. You can also choose to clean via a timer for up to 60 minutes. An infrared sensor detects changes in elevation of four inches and greater to help it avoid falling down stairs.

It also comes with special magnetic strips that can be placed in doorways, other openings, or elevation changes less than 4 inches to provide boundaries. The Trilobite can analyze and solve problems it encounters. For instance, if the unit vacuums up a sock left on the floor which stalls the brushroll, the unit will stop, reverse its brushroll to expel the obstruction and then continue with its task once the brusroll is once again operating freely. It carries two nickel-metal hydride batteries (NiMH) batteries on board, switching to the second as the first runs low on energy. As the second battery's power dips below the 50% point, the unit will cease vacuuming, return to its docking station, charge for about two hours, and return to the point where it ceased vacuuming to complete the task. The recharging dock fits along the base of any wall within 6 feet of a power outlet. The Limits of Technology While it is designed to access some tight spots in your home–especially areas that are hard to reach, like under the bed–the Trilobite obviously will not fit into spaces smaller than its diameter.

You'll need a DustBuster or the shockingly analog-style broom to clean these spaces as well as corners. Occasionally, the Trilobite will miss a calculation and bump into furniture or an object left in the middle of the floor. But it has a suspension bumper that cushions the impact, and at a maximum speed of 1.3 feet (0.4 meters) per second, any unexpected collision will be light. It's about as loud as a normal vacuum, so it's best used when you're out of the house–just as it's designed to be used. Also note that the Trilobite works with only dry detritus–it's not a wet vac.
