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!
I highly recommend the Eureka E20 Evo Plus or the Shark AV2501AE XL. I like the Eureka the best, barely ever gets stuck and the mapping is much better than the Shark. I don't use the mopping function on the eureka, but might in the future.
I went through a bunch of the cheap robot vacuums throughout the years, such a waste of money. Make sure you get one with auto empty, that's a must when you have super shedders!
anything less than 100$ for any model with that type of a dock is a steal. I found a Shark AV251WAXUS which is like 200 bucks for 15$ at Goodwill outlet. spent 40 bucks for a battery. boom. set cleaning schedule. done.
After 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.
My home sellers gifted me their shark AI Vac. This is my first robot so nothing to compare it with but he is truly life changing. I have 4 dogs and a cat. LVP floors throughout with a few area rugs. I schedule “Lurch” to clean the whole house daily in the app. There is also an option to matrix clean rooms which I use for the area rugs a few times a week. He has been hard at work for 6 months. Does a great job with minimal intervention needed. As you can imagine with so many pets the 60 day dustbin fills up in days. I’m amazed by how much dirt is collected and how clean the house stays.
I do clean and use the stick vacuum weekly to get areas the robot can’t do, behind doors and under some of the furniture. Really minimal dirt and hair found. Prior to the robot missing one day of sweeping or vacuuming would result in dog hair tumbleweeds and even when I did manage to keep up daily tasks the weekly deep clean was a lot.
Considering upgrading to a mopping robot and like the shark enough to consider its newest model.
The plain vacuum is often available on Amazon for less than 300 dollars
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

Reliable, great mopping (lifts pads), but poor cable avoidance.
