"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."
"Still it is less work than keeping up with all that fur."

"splurge for the self emptying because if you have to empty it every time you're less likely to use it. We only have to empty ours like once a month and I have a 14mo and a 3yo who drop crumbs everywhere. ... we have a Shark with a large self emptying bin and that thing is great for the price point."

"We have a German shedder in the house and our shark has been amazing (AI ultra). ... Virtually no issues with hair stuck in the brushes ... always amazed how much is picked up after a session"

It has made a huge difference in the daily cleanliness, beforehand there were tumbleweeds of fluff everywhere along with the occasional scattering of cat litter and regular human dirt that we track around."

"it is also so much smarter than the older cheaper brand I had that would constantly get stuck and just bounce around the rooms willy-nilly. This one maps it out and covers all the floor space efficiently."

kadeschs 0.2Shark AI Ultra 2‑in‑1 is probably the best balance of suction, mopping, and reliability.
Low-Bluebird4589 0.2I’d say: Yes! We have 2 kids (2yo and 2mo) and a shedding dog. You will need to clean up everything off the floor though, especially after the law of entropy has been applied to the floor by the kids. Yes, some models can a kid obstacles better than others, but the vacuum still won’t life obstacles or out stuff back on the shelve. For this reason I only run the vacuum on demand. Overall I find it worth it. Cleaning up toys and let the vacuum vacuum and/or mop saves me a lot of time. We have the shark AI ultra 2-in-1. Very happy with it. It is more a budget model and if you sign up for news alerts and wait for a sale you get more than 50% off. Basic obstacle avoidance with the LiDAR Scanner. There’s models with additional cameras who do a better job at objects smaller than the height if the robot, although I’m not sure if that is worth it when you have kids and need to clean up after them anyways
We have a “shark ai ultra 2-1”. We also have a German Shepard. I don’t know this vacuum is the best for pets, but we have almost no hair stuck and overall very happy with this vacuum as well. (Bonus that is the only vacuum so far out dog doesn’t attack when it’s cleaning)
We have a German shedder in the house and our shark has been amazing (AI ultra). Virtually no issues with hair stuck in the brushes and always amazed how much is picked up after a session
liquidplumbr 0.1Shark but the one that has the extra mop attatchment and baseboard side port blower for $399 at Costco. I have it without auto empty $199 bestbuy on sale RV2620. Or the PowerDetect newer model. I tried a Mova P10 Pro Ultra similar to Dreame L40 AMAZING hard floor performance. But carpet performance was lagging terribly compared to my old Roomba J7+ so I returned and tried/got the shark.
Cultural_Side_9677 0.1I have had both roomba and shark. Roomba needed a lot of maintenance. The good news is that it is completely rebuildable. Bad news, I know that because I changed our every part in that darn machine. My shark is more durable. Yes, I've changed our parts, but they are normal parts like filters and side brushes. I have yet to replace the motor or battery. My sister has an eufy. She has poor quality carpet, and the suction power has damaged her carpet. So... it is a powerful vacuum if your carpet can handle it. Robot vacuums are usually beat priced on black Friday. You might get lucky with Prime Day this year.
I have the Shark AI Ultra self emptying. It does not mop. It isn't a replacement for full vacuuming, but it does make the job much easier. I suffer from dust mite allergies, so I know it does a good job. However, I think it is important to point out to new robot vacuum users that you still need to do a weekly full vacuum regardless of how many times per week you want to run your bot
Funny-Quantity-6865 0.1They always say avoid but never give actual reasons. I have a Shark Ultra AI, works great, zero issues.
thefoxess 0.1I have the shark ai ultra for 2 weeks and it's been good so far. I also didn't want to go with a mop version starting out. The shark does a good job, I was surprised how well it did, actually, bc I was skeptical that a robot vac could be strong enough.we have a long haired cat and a large shedding dog in those rooms full time and a German shepherd is in there sometimes, too. It has made a huge difference in the daily cleanliness, beforehand there were tumbleweeds of fluff everywhere along with the occasional scattering of cat litter and regular human dirt that we track around. Idk if it's better than the others , but I'm very happy with it.
Eastern-Advisor5268 0.1After three years, I just had to get rid of our shark AI becasue our pup had an accident, and well the rest is history. I loved our shark and while I'm inclined to purchase the same one again, I'm wondering if there is something better for no more than $500.
I had our bagless Shark for three years with no issues
Zestyclose-Wrap-1182 0.1Testing out this one as we speak, so far amazing ! $550 Shark - Stratos 2-in-1
lympunicorn 0.0I got a refurbished shark that self empties and mop for $100 on woot. Works better than that $700 roomba
Vast-Energy-5734 0.0I just bought a shark self emptying vacuum/mop robot about a month ago. Haven't had it during heavy shedding, so can't state how it works for that. I run it a few times a week for light maintenance on hard floors. So far I like it better than my old roomba. The roller on the bottom so far has not been getting clogged up with hair, and the self emptying feature is great. In the short amount of time I've had it, i've been really happy it. Hopefully i can say the same in a couple of years.
