"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."
"I will say though, I got it originally when I had 5 shedding dogs jn the house hold full time and I also still live on the same cotton farm. It really keeps up with the dog hair tumbleweeds and dirt."

"Definitely recommend looking for one with self emptying ... I have friends with a roomba that doesn’t have self emptying and they mention it every time they see ours 😂"

"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."
"the only robot vacuum that didn’t clog or burn out was the self emptying shark one ... it’s been going three years strong."
"I run it 1-3 times and day, I’ve had it for 4 hours. ... Still works great"

"The big thing for me is the app and the map. Once it learns the house you can send it to just individual rooms to clean which is a lifesaver with small kids as rarely are all the floors clean at once. ... I send the robot and it’s amazing."
"I love the mapping function because I can keep it out of certain areas depending on how good I was at preparing the house."
"Sharks clean in a stripe or grid pattern whereas roomba is a seemingly random pattern that drives me nuts. ... also has an option for what they call matrix clean but it’s basically a grid, it’ll do stripes all one way then perpendicular to really get everything."

"My Shark Matrix has them also and it's a game changer. I would find myself cutting massive tangles of cat hairs out of my Roomba's roller brush every couple of days!"
"doesn’t tangle with hair"

"it ’s randomly stopped talking to the app (I’ve troubleshooted it as much as I can short of calling support), so now it’s lost half its functionality."
"Occasionally with an app update your robot will act like it ’s lost and doesn’t know the map and you have to remap the house which is annoying"
"all I could get it to do was spot clean by putting it where I wanted."

"Oh yeah, the 30 day bin does not apply to shepherd and husky owners in any way shape or form!!"
"The claim of 30-days before emptying is BS, as that’s based on a non pet hair household. ... I auto run it 3 times a week and empty maybe 1-2 times a week."

"I hate hate hate the mopping feature. ... The pad stays dirty and I constantly have to change it out and never feel like it really gets my floors clean. ... I wish I didn't even get one with that feature."
"in Vac / Mop, the suction is not great"

"the long hair is too much and it clogs up the roller and we have to clear it before it can run again."
"If it doesn't get run at least once a day, the roller brush will get clogged."
"hair gets clogged under the roller brush"

"The only real nemesis has been shoelaces. We have to remember to tuck in the laces in our entryway, or he will try to eat them and stop running."
"a ton of minor things that make it feel polished, like the robot will announce on its own device speaker what's happening, like why it got stuck or why it's returning to a dock."
"Down side tk the kid is she sometimes let's markers or colored pencils/crayons go under the couches which then get caught in the vacuum. ... Being woken up by a "my brush roll is stuck" from a deep sleep is very creepy 😂"
