"I also have two giant long haired (nonshedding excessively) cats. I shed hair a LOT. Worse than the cats. It works so well."
"It works great with long hair and long haired corgi fur in my home. This is absolutely tangle free in my use and the correct cover can stop hair from going to the sides."
"mopping is BETTER than i do."

"I’ve seen on the camera the poor guy making multiple trips to self empty while in one room but it’s cut the hair buildup tenfold."
"With three they can just make it to a full week for emptying. ... Life changing."
"the hair cutting feature on the dock means i havent had to get in there and chop out all the cat hair or long hair from 2x long haired humans."

"The roborock I have kicked and smashed with my foot so many times out of anger when it doesn't collaborate, and still he rocks 4-5 yrs later and no broken parts"
"I've used it daily for at least 10 years now, probably closer to 15 and apart from the fact you need to clean it periodically, it's still works like brand new."
"One huge leg up for a Shark over Roomba is that the brush roller is similar to a vacuum (e.g. hard plastic), whereas the roomba is a plastic roller with a rubber cover that is DESTROYED by dog fur and you have to frequently replace."

"A good robovac is a life changer. Even a $350 basic S8. It is a great place to start. ... I promise you that you will not be disappointed by a basic S8. It will change your life even if it can't fit under every piece of furniture you own. ... My two S8s just finished vacuuming our entire house in about 46 minutes. ... While my floors were being cleaned, I sat comfortably on our patio in the cool shade with a slight breeze and composed my far too long response to you while sipping a diet soda and relaxing. ... I will have to spend about four minutes maintaining my two S8s. This will be my entire contribution to my home floor cleaning effort for today. Four minutes!"
"After walking them in rainy or muddy weather, having a robo mop take care of the mess is a real help. ... Without the robot we would need to spend a ton more time mopping. ... the convenienve of not needing to mop the house after you worked for a full day is worth it to us. ... So, 30 minutes for 7 days a week comes down to 3.5 hours of mopping saved. ... if it is rainy/muddy outside, they carry a lot of dirt into the house. ... the mopping robot makes a lot of sense and is a real help."
"I have ours set up through Home Assistant with our Litter Robot. 30 minutes after the Litter Robot signals that it has been used, our robovac automatically vacuums our laundry room where the Litter Robot is kept. It works great!"

"Roborock has the best Matter support I've used. ... They support 1.4 which allows you to choose a room, whether to mop or vacuum and it's not just on/off functionality like Matter 1.3. ... Robo’s is the best so far that I’ve used. ... You get rooms and a few other features with 1.4, maybe even being able to select mop and/or vacuum. ... Also, in iOS Beta 26 we now have charging status support."
"HA integration is excellent. ... I don’t think it has everything but it has more than I need."
"in the app it will show you a layout of your home after it runs once which you can separate into rooms. I like this feature as I can schedule my kitchen to run daily and the rest of the house twice a week."

"Be able to go over bath mats/water absorbent mats well. When my robot goes over it, it constantly lifts the edge up and makes it look like it’s trying to hump the bottom side of the carpet. This doesn’t happen if I meticulously use the remote control function."
"the robot has no obstacle avoidance ... In terms of obstacles, that‘s pretty much the main reason why I added the 10R to my other floor where my cat and his toys are, it has great obstacle avoidance."
"The Saros also managed to get itself stuck under one of our sofas and got scratched in the process (the back of the sofa has a higher opening, it tried to exit through the sides which are lower than 8 cm)."

"Hair Pickup on carpet is better than the S7 MaxV but still worse than the Neato D7. ... I confirmed this by running the S7 Max V first (with rubber brush), on my upstairs carpeted room - that I purposely haven't vacuumed in a week. S7 Max V barely got anything and had some wrapped around the edges - as it does. ... For me yes but I say that mostly because of the tangle free vacuuming of pet hair and the improved hair pickup on carpets. I was tired of cleaning out the old one and so far with this I have zero tangles. ... The S7 MaxV had the worst hair pickup on carpets, with the stock rubber brush, of all the bots I ever owned. Tangles were minimal but it didn't do well taking hair off the carpets (it did great on the hardwood/tile though). Swapping out the rubber to the bristle brush improved the pickup but increased the tangle problem - it also created a problem with auto-empty for me a few times. ... It mops/vacuums significantly better than my S7 MaxV. Especially on carpets (especially especially pulling dog hair off carpets). ... That being said I LOVE the anti-tangle brush. 3 Months and I haven't had to clean the brush one time. It's literally perfect for me."
"We have dogs that shed a lot. It just got to the point where I was doing more babysitting of the vacuum than actual vacuuming."
"The S1 pro is a nightmare for maintenance"

"It's just very bad performance when it comes to vacuuming. ... This has been the same performance since day 1 with original brush also. ... It seems the suction is not as close to the floor as it should be. ... My budget eufy L60 can pick up this debris with no issue on deeper carpet. ... This is the most basic requirement of any vacuum."
"The bigger issue is that the paths are not as tight and overlapping. ... When I look at the cleaning paths with the MOVA On the tightest setting with the max number of passes (x3) It has nowhere near the coverage of the qrevos and the carpet is not clean. ... The Revos get really tight around legs while the MOVA barely tries to approach. ... Both my Qrevos are much quieter than the p10 ultra and actually leave the carpets looking clean."

"My S7 basically vacuums up the chunks and then mops the liquids. ... The biggest issue for me is that the moist chunks gum up the vac tray in the dock and I have to clean it regularly. ... The robot scoops up wet barf chunks that get in the dust bin and when the dock empties the dust bin the wet chunks stick to the dock and when they dry it’s like concrete since they mix with cat hair and dust that gets swept up. ... I have to unscrew the dust bin emptying chute and clean it in the sink and sometimes need a screwdriver to scrape the stuff off."
"But I dislike the mopping system. It does a great job mopping, but the mechanism in the dock used to clean the mops it too complicated and needs far too much maintenance."
"not anything fancier because all that hair will just clog any automated dock."

"I wish I had auto refill/empty so I could mop automatically ... right now I just check the fluids before/during most mops"
"my roborock s7 is starting to feel aged with no water tank in the dock."
"It's also important to remove the pad and run it through the clothes washer every few weeks. It tends to get matted after awhile."
AlainYncaan 1.0I personally can heavily recommend Xiaomi. Idk how exactly the circumstances are, but Xiaomi and Roborock make the same vacuumrobots with Roborock just doing the "premium line". But you will get 90% of what the Roborock does, but mutliple times cheaper. Just compare the Xiaomi X20+ with the Roborock S7 Max Ultra and their prices when they released... idk was like 500€ vs 1800€. Our old Ecovacs constantly rotated its map and thus was completely useless.
BuildBreakFix 1.0I’ve got a roborock S7 Max Ultra, we run it pretty much every day.
caltomoto 1.0We have the S7 Max Ultra and it has Vibrarise. It’s not great for stains that have dried (coffee, tomato etc) in but it does an excellent job and our tile/marble floors always look noticeably cleaner after. What we tend to do now is run normal vac and mop as our normal day to day and then once a week we’ll run a 2x cycle of vacuum first followed by intense mop. When you run the mop by itself you get a lot more options on how thorough you want it to be. I still think a DIY mop is needed every so often because it doesn’t reach everywhere and can struggle to get deep enough into the grout between tiles but it has taken away a lot of hassle for us in our home.
carelessarmadillo267 1.0My wife just got one of the vacuum/mop ones, our house is rather cluttered,4 kids 2 dogs and once it was setup correctly it’s phenomenal. The way it navigates around furniture is really cool and our floors look fantastic, no missed spots at all.
It’s a Roborock S7 Max Ultra
Roborock S7 Max Ultra
chipsahoymateys 1.0I don’t have a lot to compare to (apart from an old roomba and Roborock that were both meh), but my current Roborock s7 max ultra does a good job. I run it on very high and usually have it do two passes.
chunkychickmunk 1.0This is what we have. I love it.
clueless_mommy 1.0Whatever you do, do not miss out on self cleaning. It's like the most important part. It makes your life better, easier and cleaner. That being said, we have an S7 and it's a great one. Deals with two long haired outdoor cats, my hip length hair and WHATEVER my toddler and husband do to the floor absolutely perfect. It's immaculate. I've cut down vacuuming from daily to once a month, mopping from every 3-4 days to once a month, too and the water is mostly clean. ETA it's like 300€, so should fit your budget.
It's the [Roborock S7 max ultra ](https://de.roborock.com/pages/roborock-s7-max-ultra?srsltid=AfmBOopAAqgBlmkzkszMaZViGEISqfQ-5NtJ5KeeNBQz9NiF7UOhioh8) with the cleaning station. An older model, but absolutely sufficient for regular use. Beware, there is a "max ultra v" version with a camera. It's more expensive and useless, unless you always wanted to experience your flat from a guinea pig view. Sorry, the link is German, but I think it should redirect you.
We have an S7 with the automated station and let me tell you, if someone made me choose between ✨Dustin✨ and my husband, you better get the divorce papers ready.
dfcogomezm 1.0This seems to work better than my roborock s7 max ultra.
djrobxx 1.0I also have two pugs, my S7 Max Ultra has been fantastic. You may read about dog hair causing issues, but it seems to handle pug hair fine. It's not long enough to tangle the rollers. Just make sure to vacuum often enough that \\dust bins don't get too packed and empty properly. Our pug Grogu is highly reactive, but even he was able to get used to it. Pet accidents I think are the biggest risk. I wouldn't recommend running them on a fully automated schedule, always do a quick check before running the robot. https://i.redd.it/9pk42gasvmef1.gif
For sure, the struggle is real! Our robots help tremendously, just don't expect it to fully get all the hair out of carpet in one pass. We have one fawn and one black pug, and under the bed you could see all the black hairs because our standard vacuum doesn't reach there. It took many passes, but the robot has mostly cleaned all that up. Newer models with dual rollers are supposed to be even better, but we're pretty satisfied with what the S7 has. Some encounter an issue with the robot not being able to empty the dust bin because pet hair clumps up too much. I only see that when I haven't run the robot frequently enough in shedding season. Manually emptying the dust bin is pretty easy anyway.
dolemite79 1.0I've been seeing more and more posts like this and didn't bither to unbox my saros 10r I got on prime day. Ended up ordering a mova V50 ultra complete. If we don't like that I'll send em both back and wait for black Friday and keep on trucking with my s7 max ultra
