bObsweep Junior Robotic Vacuum Cleaner Price: $139.99 Shipping Options:: $5 Standard Shipping Estimates: Ships in 1-2 business days (Thursday, Sep 21 to Friday, Sep 22) + transit Condition: New
Got one of these on the last Woot of them. It’s OK. But it doesn’t fit under the counter edge of my house. And it doesn’t have “fence” features that the Neato I had that this replaced. And, I don’t like the dirt bin, as it’s not just a bin but also has a lot of the sweeper mechanism in it, so it’s harder to keep in working order. Not sure I’d recommend it. Though for a basic robot sweeper, the current price is not too bad.
I got one of these last time it was on Woot and I do really like it for the price, but it has its limitations. It will find the one thing in your house that it could get stuck on and it will get stuck. It does a great job picking up fur, but I’ve never set it to go and come home to it not stuck on something. The best part is the remote control, almost makes vacuuming fun.

No Scheduling function?

Alexa enabled*! Just say “Alexa, remind me to turn on the vacuum at 9am” to your Echo and she will tell you to do that at 9am!
Not really an alexa enabled product.
** But this will work.
*** But the bObsweep really has nothing to do with it. Alexa can remind you to do anything.

Ok, so Junior hasn’t learned all the nifty things to be a cool floor vac yet but he has a good price.
“Junior does not have a scheduling function so you have to manually press GO to make it run, but Junior does have an automatic recharge function so that when the battery runs low the robot finds its charging station and returns to juice up.”
