Inclines
Sometimes Junior will attempt to drive up angled surfaces and get stuck for a few
minutes before deciding to clean somewhere else. This is because Junior wants to
cover every spot in your home and will try his hardest to overcome any obstacle!
As long as Junior 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 Junior finds
the most challenging, and if possible spread or adjust some of your furniture accordingly.
The Solution: blOck
If Junior finds a part of your home challenging to clean, use blOck (available separately)
to keep him away. blOck emits a digital barrier that Junior won’t cross.
1. Where can I find Junior’s how-to videos?
Junior’s “training” videos can be found at Junior’s Owners’ Corner: owners.bobsweep.com.
2. How long should Junior’s battery last?
The exact time depends on the type of surface Junior 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 Junior usually cleans for
just over an hour.
3. How do I know that my Junior has fully charged and is ready to clean?
When Junior charges using the adapter or charging station, the battery bars on
his display screen flash and the word “Charging” lights up. When Junior has fully
charged, the battery bars remain still and the word “Charging” disappears.
4. How often should I empty the dustbin?
Junior’s dustbin has a 1 L 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, Junior 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 Junior’s brushes?
Junior’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 Junior regularly. To
thoroughly clean the brushes, remove them using a flat head screwdriver. Remember
to clean the notches in Junior’s interior that hold his brushes in place. This ensures
the brushes stay in peak condition for a long time.
