"Ya it’s crazy. ... Yesterday I vacuumed and mopped with the Dyson and a few hours later the cats and dogs had hair everywhere. It’s nice waking up and coming home to a fully vacuumed and mopped house."

"the robot is incredibly easy to disassemble, repair, and clean."
"It saves soooo much time and soreness and my floors are clean even when I'm exhausted!"
"I’ll also mention is pretty easy to clean. ... I did notice hair being spun around the end of the rollers but they come apart and cleaning them was a breeze. Like you can do it in less than ten seconds."

"My 1 issue with it is not with the vacuum but it's empty dock design. The bags do not seal perfectly allowing some dust to escape which will clog a vent preventing proper emptying."
"my docking station started to clog with debris and hair."
