some thoughts. first, buy it next week since most are on [sale.](https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comments/1nvsulx/comment/nhmjcxj/?context=1) Some thoughts on the models above: the p50 has a known hardware problem that they never seem to solve. Skip it. The S70 is a gimmick and separately, not a great vacuum. Trying to be too much. The Aqua 10 is fine, but leaks for a lot of people. I like the x9 or the 10R as options.... the Dreame models you noted aren't my favs.
i have the QX Revo PLUS Also have the QX Revo Arc both from Costco. You can get the Revo PLUS for like $479. Easy recommend for that model.

YES, it is worth it. i had my doubts, and im only using the Roborock Q10V+. No better dog hair feedback than a Husky owner here!. We have two adult size huskos and the amount of dog hair this thing collects is unreal! Before, I was manually vacuuming twice daily or more, and there would always be fluff flying around regardless no matter what i did. Now dam man, I barely even touched the vacuum. I make it run 3 times a day, and it might be overkill, but honestly, the house hasnt looked better. I have not seen fluff or hair anymore. It really has taken the load off me. I highly recommend these vacs. They are fantastic! Truely something I thought i didn't need or was going to be gimmicky and it exceeded my expectations!
You schedule it through the app. There, you can pick different times and how strong you want it to vac, deep clean, mop, or use water options. Morning and lunch I just do regular, nighttime is deep clean. The house stays immaculate (again im going abit over kil here).
The only real risk is if your dog isn’t fully toilet trained has an accident or of course gets sick. To avoid that, just don’t run it when you’re not home or place your dog in another room while you go to work. (its really up to you). If i do set my midday one. I usually aim that when im working from home. My huskies just lay there, and it cleans around them its funny as.
Most pet owners worry about the “surprise smear” but it’s easy to avoid if you schedule smart. Even once a day on deep clean/max vac works great.
Another tip Since my huskies shed like crazy, I pull their fur out of the bag with gloves on straight into the bin and reuse it to make it last longer. I also grabbed replacement bags from Temu to save money, and they work fine.
Honestly, just fit it into your routine. I can’t go back without one. It's changed my life and has taken that whole chore and never ending battle. If this one dies, I’ll replace it straight away. Again, i have honestly found it's not gimmicky or just a "oh guess its ok." it really does clean really good and does its own thing. I legit still haven't vac'd my house in months. About the only thing I do is mop, lol. This model has better Suction then even some of the higher up models in its range for comparison. Goodluck! 😎🇦🇺
As ive answered this. Like i said im going overkill with 3 times a day. But that's because I'm a clean freak and I have a large place. I could honestly get away with once a day deep clean.
An original Roomba from 20 years ago is my only robot experience, so take this for what it's worth (aka not someone who can tell you what is "best" given the varieties of models out there today). But I recently purchased a RoboRock from Costco and am quite happy with it. It doesn't mop from dirty as well as a person would, but for maintenance it is perfect.

Our Plus keeps up with four dogs (three big and one small) plus a cat without issue.
Most impressive, is that it keeps up with our German shedder, which our iRobot never could.
