Bissell SpinWave Pet Robot US

Product Information

Since the vacuum doesn’t map your home, you can’t prevent it from wandering into places you don’t want it to go. Unfortunately, you’re limited to drawing and rotating boxes so it can take a little finessing to set up zones, especially if you have an unorthodox floor plan. I mentioned earlier that the vacuum can clean under the kickplates of my kitchen cabinets, but it often came away with a scuff mark that made the vacuum look beat up. model to include every feature under the sun, and the SpinWave doesn't offer home mapping or voice assistant support.

Deciding to add one to your home is a big decision, and there are several different variables to consider before picking one up. Swap out the dustbin for a wet tank, and the robot will zip around hard floors, scrubbing them clean with dual spinning mopping pads and pleasant-smelling cleaning solution while avoiding carpet and area rugs. We ran each mop, including the SpinWave, a minimum of four times, assessing how well they were able to clean a water spill, a sticky soda spill and dried-on mud stains off a laminate floor. The SpinWave lets you start, stop, and schedule cleaning sessions from your phone, and offers far superior mopping abilities. If you're looking for a hybrid robot with exceptional battery life, check out the Deebot Ozmo T8 AIVI, which lasted 170 minutes—longer than any other robot vacuum we've tested.I can say it did seem like it could tell when it had encountered a larger area of debris and it would make repeated passes over that area or circle itself around. But these home helpers can be expensive so it’s important to choose the right one since you’re going to be paying for it. That being said, the benefit of using a robot vacuum is that you can use it far more often, and even schedule it for night time, or other times I wouldn’t normally be vacuuming. Standard shipments to Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico, American Samoa and Virgin Islands will arrive within 15 business days.

At the scheduled time, the robot will either vacuum or mop, depending on whether you have the dry or wet tank installed. It’s a really thoughtful feature, but it can create some problems if you’ve got any narrow walkways. It didn’t have the suction power to lift finer flour from the top of the fibers, it did okay with rice, and was intermittent with larger cracker or chip pieces.The R5 doesn’t break any molds but it doesn’t really come with any design flaws either, though it doesn’t have the self-emptying functionality of more expensive competitors.
