I have the Bobsweep PetHair SLAM, and I LOVE it. With two cats, there is always heavy tumbleweed production, but it keeps floors looking clean between vacuum days (every other weekend). As others have said, it's not a perfect clean, but it keeps dirt, litter, and hair from accumulating. Lots of people prefer the ones with a dust receptacle, but since mine lives next to my trash, it's NBD to empty it after use.

I have the BOB pet hair slam. It does the job and their customer service is great.

Ugh I had one of these and it cried all the time about getting stuck on cords, under furniture, would ride up the legs of my furniture. It was a bobi pet vacuum about 5 or 6 years ago, have they come along way since then?

I have a BobSweep Dustin Plus and a BobSweep Combo. They can often be gotten for less than 300. They’ve been great! The combo is basic mopping, meaning it doesn’t self refill water or automatically clean the mop heads, but both for self emptying for vacuuming. Super handy. There is a little learning curve for best use (pick up your socks and charge cables).

Possible controversial suggestion, but try a Bobsweep Austin when they are on sale at BestBuy for $179. Might not last a lifetime but it will help get the job done. Had one for almost 2 years now.... hasn't been problem free, but the first year it worked like a charm. Support is pretty good at getting you replacement parts for free if it's under 2 years old.

Sharks are terrible. They basically due a week after warranty goes. And not just a little, like unusable. They also dont do well with pet hair or larger floor plans. Roombas are fine for a couple years, but then break frequently. Customer service is good but its weeks without your vacuum. Bobsweep works well except for the self emptying. Its not everytime but about once a week, I do have to take out the debris in the Dustin as it won't go into the bin of the base. I think robot vacuums just aren't quite where people think they are.

The bobsweep model I have, comes with detergent. I bet that same detergent works on your model too.
