I don't think I can begin without first saying... Where has this little guy been my entire adult life? Seriously my fellow citizens, if you have pets and feel like managing hair is an uphill battle, you need this product. Living in our home is 2 adults, a German Shepherd and a cat. Our GS sheds like she gets paid to do it. My usual routine was to vacuum on Wednesday's and Saturday's and most of the time, I would have to pull our the Shark on other days due to all of the hair that my girl dropped on the daily. With the bag-less Shark meant for pets, I would empty the canister 3 times each time I vacuumed, and that is no exaggeration.... I no longer have to pull out the Shark on day's other than my usual Wed and Saturday! IT IS THE BEST!After receiving this guy (haven't named him yet), within the week, I knew I was falling in love. I don't have him set to run every day at the same time, so I run manually when I choose.Let's get to the great things this little guy does for me and a couple of his hiccups:1. I run him every day (except on Wed/Sat when I Shark vacuum) usually in the evenings when we're home from work. He runs about 2 hours and I stop him twice during that time to clean out the bin.2. He's taken on, what looks to be 5 different paths in our home. I've never had one before, so I don't know what it would be like to have one that learns the home, but this one works for our needs. He takes a different path each day and then you get a good rotation for the entire week.3. I only use him on hard-wood and ceramic tile. I don't use him on carpet because I don't think he has the suction to handle that type of job. I let my Shark handle that for me. Again, I have a large GS and a cat.4. He does go over my normal thickness rugs, but he will not attempt the thick piled run in my living area, nor would I expect him as when he does find his way on the rug - he really has to work to get back down.5. He will get stuck from time to time under a certain cabinet in my kitchen, guess that's a low spot. I try to watch out for that area. He will also get stuck under my dining room table that seats 6 and is very tight. Usually, he works his way through the areas perfectly, but he has gotten stuck twice under there and turned itself off.6. Had recently dropped a coffee cup in the kitchen, put him on spot and he cleaned up the small shards nicely.7. I love to set him to clean around the baseboards - that is a nice option for people with pets because the hair tends to hug the baseboards in high traffic areas like my hallway. Such a quick pick-up when company is coming and you're in a time crunch.8. He usually always finds his way back to his base. When he fails to find home, it's because I had to purposely move him SEVERAL times for one reason or the other. If I move him once or twice, he still finds home.9. My dog has zero problem with him, was concerned as she hates the Shark and tries to attack it. This one, doesn't bother her one bit. Our cat is completely infatuated and follows him all over the house.10. He's not quiet, so you may not be able to nap while it's running. We can still watch TV and have a conversation while he's out doing his cleaning.I hope this review helps others that are on fence. Like I said, I've never owned a robot vac before, so I don't have anything to compare. If you're trying not to spend a fortune and want results, you'll get it with this one. Again, I use for hardwood and ceramic tile floors only. I don't think you would get great results for carpeted floors cleaning up after pets, just my opinion that it's not strong enough to handle that type of job. I love that I'm able to manage the pet hair in my home with this little guy, it totally works for us. This one is relatively inexpensive compared to others on the market. In my opinion, I can't see those other high-dollar brands being that much better to warrant the money.

I thought my vacuum robot was probably going to be me foolishly getting a gadget that wasn’t worth it. But it’s one of the best tools I’ve ever bought!Turns out my small home with “less is more” furniture decor and mostly hardwood is perfect for this vacuum. I didn’t need an expensive option that also mops or empties its own bin or all the other features of the over $1000 models. I also have a golden retriever and cat, and that means lots of dust bunnies. The first time vacuuming filled the vacuum’s container very frequently. I expected this since it goes under sofa and beds where I had ignored. I had to stop and empty often. But after the initial vacuuming, it has kept up with new dust bunnies. I still stop it now and then to empty the compartment. It goes slower over a medium pile area rug but still vacuums it ok, and some low pile rugs are a breeze for it. My young dog still barks at it a lot, so vacuum noise isn’t a big deal to me, his bark is louder. But it’s not overly loud and I actually like to hear where “he” is at anyway. He is now Mr. Sweepy, and a beloved household member. We put him to work every few days…as someone else said in a review his work spills over to inspire me to dust and oil wood shelves and keep the rest of the house neater too.The big question is will my pets’ fur ultimately be too hard on this low price vacuum or will it last over time? It’s doing a great job so far! My house has never looked so clean, and I will never be without a robot vacuum again.

As with most things, reviews have to be read with the lens of price, and in the case of this vacuum I think you also need to have proper expectations based on the needs of the space you intend to use it in. If you are looking for a hard traffic area with carpet and pets you are better off saving up your pennies for a less entry level machine. If I had bought this expecting to use in in the first space described below I would be sudo-disappointed. That said, for the price and space that I am using it in I love it and wish I could give it more of a 4.5 than 4 star.I first ran this vac on our main floor which has lots of obstacles and rooms that are not an open floor plan. This area also has the most traffic in the house, and therefore is in frequent need of cleaning. We have 2 dogs and one cat and this floor of the house is where they spend most of their time. Given that this is bump navigation it is not the most ideal vac for the space, given the room separation, as it is not guaranteed to work its way into all the spaces you may want without physically moving the machine from room to room by hand. This area also poses a problem in debris bin capacity. This space is a mix of tile and carpet. The performance on carpet is mediocre but is worked great on the tile. These are all things I knew going in so I am not disappointed.I then moved the machine to it's intended home which is our open floor plan basement that is a mix of LVT and linoleum. This space is much more limited it terms of obstacles and traffic. For this area I love the vacuum. Sure it may not cover every square inch with each cleaning but its doesn't really have to. The lower traffic also make debris bin space much less of an issue and I only have to empty it one or two times a week. The hair collection off of hard surface is good, and if picks up a surprising amount of fine dust. For the $100 I payed on Black Friday I couldn't be happier given the space it is being used in.
