I have the Shark AI Robot Self-Empty XL. I like it a lot! It was about 300 or so. I’ve had it for about 1.5 years. Works just as good as the day I bought it. 2 dogs, 1 cat, hardwood floors with area rugs, 1 story, 2300 sqft!
Robot vacuum was life changing. 4 big dogs and a cat. shark AI with self empty bin. It amazes me just how much filth this thing picks up. I manually clean once a week, have a bissel pet vacuum that seems to work fine for places the robot can’t go
Look into the Shark AI Ultra self emptying model. It has a bagless base so you are not constantly buying bags and it handles pet hair much better than Roomba. The brush roll is designed to keep hair from wrapping around it which is a huge time saver. It is also noticeably quieter than most other robot vacuums so your husband shoild be fine working from home. Since you do not need mopping you can skip the combo units and save some money. Just make sure whatever you get has a rubber brush rather than bristles because bristles will get clogged with Lab fur almost instantly.
Shark has an app where you can control the robot from, but you don’t have to pay for it.
We have one of the self-empying shark robo vacs, and it's a big ole piece of garbage. Doesn't clean well, gets stuck on everything. We used the room mapping feature to map off certain areas for it to not go, and that seems to be its favorite place to go. Save your money.
I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. I love my Shark robovac. I got the one that self empties and will continue after it does. It was worth it to upgrade with all the pet hair because both our dogs have blow out twice a year and one cat sheds like crazy too. So it doesn't need me to empty it every 6 minutes.
