"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."

"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."
"I’ve got 3 kids home all day and it does great with tons of food, hair etc."

"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."

"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"
"The app is terrible"

"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."
"The rollers do tend to get hair wrapped around them but once or twice a week"
