Wet/Dry Mop
Bob’s wet/dry mop, which is attached to his bottom, is designed to sit flat against
the floor and leave behind a sparkling trail. Because of this, Bob may have a tough
time climbing over elevated surfaces while mopping. Make sure to remove Bob’s mop
when he is not cleaning smooth surfaces such as tile or hardwood.
Inclines
Sometimes Bob will attempt to drive up angled surfaces, getting stuck for a few min-
utes before deciding to clean somewhere else. This is because Bob wants to cover
every spot in your home and will try his hardest to overcome any obstacle!
As long as Bob does not indicate on his screen that there is a problem, let him find
his own way around your home and continue cleaning. Take note of the areas Bob
finds the most challenging, and if possible spread or adjust some of your furniture
accordingly.

1. Where can I find Bob’s how-to videos?
Bob’s “training” videos can be found at Bob’s Owners’ Corner: http://owners.
bobsweep.com.
2. How long should Bob’s battery last?
The exact time depends on the type of surface Bob is cleaning as well as the age of
the battery. Generally, the smoother the surface (hardwood or tile, for example), the
longer the battery will last. When fully charged, a brand new Bob usually cleans for
just over an hour.
3. How do I know that my Bob has fully charged and is ready to clean?
When Bob charges using the adapter or charging station, the battery bars on his
display screen flash and the word “Charging” lights up. When Bob has fully charged,
the battery bars remain still and the word “Charging” disappears.
4. How often should I empty the dustbin?
Bob’s dustbin has a 1L capacity — three times larger than most robotic vacuum
cleaners on the market today! This means you may not need to empty the dustbin
immediately after every cleaning. Depending on the size of the room and the amount
of particles piled up, Bob can complete approximately six cleaning cycles before he
fills his dustbin. Simply remove the dustbin and check to see if emptying is necessary.
5. How often should I clean Bob’s brushes?
Bob’s brushes do a lot of the work picking up hair and debris, so it is recommended
that you clean the main and side brushes weekly if you are using Bob regularly. To
thoroughly clean the brushes, remove them using a flat head screwdriver. Remember
to clean the notches in Bob’s interior that hold his brushes in place. This ensures the
brushes stay in peak condition for a long time.
