I bought the Roomba 105 combo with auto empty dock for $250 for prime day. I don't use the mopping feature, but I love it so far. So easy to maintain that I do it after every run or at least once a day. Less than 30 seconds to check on it and tap out the filter if needed. With a double coated dog shedding currently the "60 day" bag needs to be swapped tomorrow probably. It took a bit to figure out how to navigate all the different rug heights, but now it goes around just fine. Super pleased as it's my first robot vac and I didn't want to spend a ton and the dog murder it lol. Overall love it. Only downside is my hair getting caught in the wheel, but again super quick to pop out. I didn't want anything sharp that would prevent that from happening with pets around.

I Jumped the Robo Vacs wagon with a cheap " bump and go " to see if it was a fit for me.. Finally gave up after 3 years, RIP, so decided to get into the new Roomba line with Lidar and " advertised" better bells and whistles.. My dead $80 Vac beats the hell put of the $250 I paid for this crap and the headaches I endured with the software wasn't worth it.. Still after many updates, my Lefants software was better than this one.. Roomba is on it's way out and rightfully so..

My Roomba is also lasting like forever, I just replace the battery every couple years and it still comes back with a lot of debris it captured. The bot is 880. Also their new LiDAR bot is high quality too

I have been looking for one for years. My solution had been to just toss our old one in the shop when we upgrade the one in the house. My wife ran over one, they survive for about 6-12 months. True industrial ones are just stupid expensive. If you can find a used i-mop on eBay, that's the ticket, but it's not automatic.

I’ve had robot shark and roomba. I believe running them daily has prevented us from being buried in dog hair and 100% recommend a robot vacuum. My dogs are very housebroken and I’ve never had the poo every where situation.  Overall, I think the shark works a little better, but I think the roomba’s features and app are better. I just upgraded to the dual vacuum/mop roomba and it’s not perfect but I’m happy. I still have to real vacuum once a week as it doesn’t get all the hair all the time, but the literal basketball was of hair I pull out of the canister every few weeks tells me it’s working pretty damn good.

I bought the best roomba (mop and vacuum) on the market and I feel my floors and carpet being less dusty. Not saying you should buy an expensive one but consider the mop and vacuum combo
