what's happening everyone my name is alex and welcome back in today's video we're checking out
one of the latest robot vacuums and mobs called the obody p8 so this is a device that will keep
your floors clean without you having to do much and this is also a device that gets more advanced
mopping than most other robot vacuums available on the market now we've all seen the typical robot
vacuum that just drags around your floral wet cloth well this is not the case so this one this
one actually gets two mop brushes at the bottom that constantly spin compared to other similar
products available on the market because there are two other robot vacuums that kind of do something
like this this one puts more pressure onto the floor therefore the scrubbing is better with these
brushes something that i haven't seen before is this little water tank that we have inside
it here now you don't have to fill up that water tank yourself that water tank gets filled from the
washing station i can't really put the washing station on my desk here it's too big but there is
a washing station that fills up that little water tank and from that washing station the vacuum also
gets to wash these mop brushes every so often you do get to decide how often the vacuum washes the
the brushes there is an app that works with the vacuum and you can select how wet the floor
should be the suction power of the vacuum and of course how often these brushes should be washed
the washing station is also the docking station for the vacuum so the vacuum sits
in there charging whenever it's not vacuuming or mopping your floors that station washes
these mop brushes whenever the vacuum is done a cleaning cycle or whenever you select it
to wash this and once it's doing that it also dries them with hot air it takes about an hour
and a half to dry them and that's definitely a good thing because you definitely don't want mold
in the washing station there the bottom of the washing station can also be removed and cleaned
so you're gonna have to clean that every so often personally i clean it once a week and it's
good enough like that inside the washing station we also have two water tanks one other tank is
with clean water so you're gonna fill up that one with clean water and the other tank is
the dirty water that comes out whenever you're washing um the pads here basically and you're
gonna notice that if you haven't washed your floors for a while that water is pretty dirty
at the top of the washing station we also have a couple of buttons and a few lights that will
show you whatever the vacuum it's doing so if it's washing the pads you're gonna see a little
ledge saying that it's washing the pads if it's drying the pads are gonna see that and there is
also a bluetooth light so the base is connected to the vacuum through bluetooth the vacuum itself
looks somewhat familiar even though we don't have that round shape that we typically see with a lot
of robot vacuums these days so on the front here we have a variety of sensors and also a bumper so
if the vacuum doesn't see something in its way it will bump into that and then it will go around it
the bumper also has this rubberized strip at the bottom here so even if it hits some furniture it's
not going to damage the furniture because we do have that rubber strip right here at the top we
have three buttons and we also have the lighter navigation system so this vacuum will map out
your entire house it knows exactly where it's been it knows exactly where it has to go and it knows
exactly where the docking station is so whenever it needs to wash the brushes here or whenever it
runs out of power it will go back to the charging station and wash this or recharge now this one
does about two and a half hours on one charge so more than the typical vacuum that i've seen a
typical vacuum like this one i'm gonna say so on one charge it should be able to finish your entire
house at the top here of course we have the dust bin that can be removed so you can take out all
the dust from it and we also have the filter that can be washed or replaced depending on what you're
doing and as i said earlier we have that small water tank that will get filled from the washing
station you can manually fill that up as well but i personally just let it fill up itself from the
washing station and turning the vacuum around basically we have two side brushes those side
brushes will push all the dirt towards the main brush and underneath the main brush we basically
have the main suction hole that main brush at the bottom can easily be removed and clean that
will pick up a lot of hair on it depending on your environment depending on who you live with
and so on in my case i do have to clean that every four or five days because it does catch a lot of
hair on it but it's super simple to remove and clean and of course we have the spot where the
mopping brushes are gonna be sitting as i mentioned earlier this attached the bottom
of the vacuum wood magnets and the base here is made out of plastic but you can easily remove the
cloth and wash it if you want to so you can throw this in the washing machine for example and then
put it back and then attach it to the bottom of the vacuum and at the bottom there we also have
a variety of sensors so for example the vacuum is not going to fall down the stairs if you do have
stairs personally i don't have any stairs here so i wasn't able to try that bottom i've seen a lot
of vacuums that are like this so this is not gonna fall down the stairs because it has a variety
of sensors underneath like most robot vacuums these days this connects to your home's wi-fi
network and you can control it from an app on your smartphone the app will be available for ios and
android at this time this is a pre-release unit so the app isn't actually available in the app store
but it will be available whenever this becomes available on to the public i've noticed that
they're pushing a lot of updates they're trying to make those apps better so pretty much every
morning when i get up i get another update on the app and i can also send the developers feedback if
there is something wrong with the app so from the app there that's how you interact with the vacuum
if you want to change any settings for it you go into the app and you change settings from there
if you want to select the suction power so you can choose different suction powers for
the vacuum you can change that from there you select how wet the mop brushes should be and how
often the vacuum should go to the washing station and wash this so you can select them all that of
course and you can also select if you want the vacuum to just uh vacuum or if you wanted to just
mop or if you wanted to first vacuum and then mop and so on i did notice that whenever you have this
mopping it is extremely quiet you can barely hear it going around the room i mean if i'm
in this room and the vacuum on is mopping on the other side of the door there is a good chance that
they are not going to hear it but again it really depends how how if you're using it to the maximum
suction power if you're just using it for um mopping and so on so it depends if your homie hora
if you are not since we have a lighter navigation system of course this vacuum will map out your
entire house and it will kind of number your room so if you want to send this to the kitchen
for example you can just open the app click on the kitchen and the vacuum will go and clean just the
kitchen you can also set schedules for it so let's say that you go to work at nine in the morning
well you can have it start a cleaning cycle like 9 30 in the morning or whatever the same goes for
do not go zones so if you don't want the vacuum to go in a certain part of a room you can just
open the app and make a little do not goes on or if you spill something on the floor once again you
open the app and you can select where the vacuum should go clean so everything is done from the app
itself cleaning wise this does an amazing job at the mopping so i've used this as my two apartments
so where i'm filming this video now and not my new apartment my new apartment was filthy the floors
were super filthy so i had to mop those floors like four or five times and now finally that
water from the waste bin doesn't look as dirty anymore but at first it was filthy actually
had to wash these multiple times in the washing machine because they were getting really really
dirty so for mopping it does an extremely good job with this setup for suction power we have a
2000 pam suction power on this particular model so if you have hard floors it will suck up everything
without any issues if you do have carpets because we have that brush underneath that brush will kind
of move all the dirt around all the dust and it's easier to be sucked up so overall it does do a
really good job at mopping and probably the best mopping that i have seen for any other vacuum out
there now this is a crowdfunding project and of course this is a pre-release unit they're
still a few months away from releasing this to the public so they're constantly changing this they're
constantly working on those apps so i can't really call this video a review this is more of a preview
or a presentation of this um product because this is not the final version of this well i'm sure it
will look just like this but they will make small tweaks here and there based on the feedback that
um they receive so far it does a really good job of mopping definitely the best mopping that i've
seen and that is done through these and the fact they put more pressure onto the floor of course
it goes back to that washing station they get them washed and so on so the mopping feature from this
is one of the best that i have seen from any vacuum out there alright guys hopefully this
