"The roborock I have kicked and smashed with my foot so many times out of anger when it doesn't collaborate, and still he rocks 4-5 yrs later and no broken parts"
"has withstood the last week of winds over 70 freezing kph."
"I've used it daily for at least 10 years now, probably closer to 15 and apart from the fact you need to clean it periodically, it's still works like brand new."

"It picks up all the cat fur, all the dog fur, all the litter, all the human hair."
"I have one teenager who’s messy and a dog who sheds like it’s her job. It’s been a game changer."
"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."

"The Anti-Tangle brush is actually Anti-Tangle. All my previous vacuums would get hair tangled in a single run - I'd clean them at least once a week (neato way more) to get all the hair out. After 24 hours, I see 0 hair stuck. Not one. ... That being said I LOVE the anti-tangle brush. 3 Months and I haven't had to clean the brush one time. It's literally perfect for me."
"I think the MOVA Z50 Ultra is best for those who have long hair or pets that shed and value mopping as much as vacuuming. ... People with long hair will enjoy how it wont tangle in the robot’s main brush"
"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."

"it mapped the house really well. ... Turns out it will still get areas when I move furniture anyway. We got rid of a loveseat after the house map was completed and I told it to run the next day. It got the new empty area with no problem."
"It maps well! Many don't."
"I have to say the mapping feature, creating the rooms, labeling rooms... is super nice."

"With three they can just make it to a full week for emptying. ... Life changing."
"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."

"it is also way more prone to tracking pet messes about, that happened once with a pile of cat vomit and I was a little traumatized."
"if you take if off the dock yourself it loses the mop function unless you restart it literally 10 times"

"it's also the only robovac I've ever had that ran over dog poop..."
"The j7 got stuck often, maybe 1 out of 4 cleanings it either sucked up a cat toy or jammed itself under something."
"Unlike the Roomba, which constantly needed rescuing. ... Four years of dealing with that pain in the a$$"

"Its a mostly fine robot but not a fan of their mapping software. ... The basic and simple and frustrating issues with the Narwal software have been there now for well over a year. ... Issues like mapping open concept spaces and having easy to use and manipulate split and merge lines have been solved years ago by other companies like Roborock and by Dreame. ... There is no excuse that Narwal - who has most definately been made aware of these issues long ago - has either chosen to ignore fixing 'merge/split' options (and more) or the current team is incapable of doing so. ... As a homeowner with a large open concept layout their mapping software is crap and pretty much renders using their robot useless unless I want to compromise how I use a Narwal. ... Something that is not an issue with Roborock or Dreame or Mova (and probably others also). ... So if a home has basically traditiona wall spaces.Sure. Narwal is great. If the layout is open concept. Then....Narwal no."
"splitting rooms or modifications to the map also has some quirks that annoy me so much."
"it ignores my no go zones"

"long hair will still tangle around the ends of them and eventually stop them from spinning. ... This happens every third run if i don't clear them after the second run."
"long hairs clock up and stop the rollers every second run"
"If it doesn't get run at least once a day, the roller brush will get clogged."

"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."
"The dust bin also needs to be emptied every week, not 30 days like advertised."
I have a shark matrix right now it does a good enough job
r/homeassistant • What are the best robot vacuums for those who're struggling with lots of PET HAIR? ->[https://www.amazon.com/Shark-Mopping-Mapping-CleanEdge-AV2630WA/dp/B0DFZ2HMY8/ref=sr\_1\_3?crid=1BBDB1370RH4H&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.R7jRC6lx9uVee82xhfBQDIGGPGajy2URMAg8P9xJM6wFFpdlPvl6fWZ8EayUoLFQZmDNbc3CJwyETuyO1xxlaogrfcI9TuVW7DOR\_ybgMROpG3OYDX2UMl7hX5BlepRkoCBfsZxUE4MmZL3UIYv2apRchO7wO6vjlTVnmktnbwQ2ySkt9hKDVZfs-wDQZJjlrj4KO52GzHTwuNW-KgIt5qP3cLOQAOVytc42Ka7iyXo.OvqGgZTsOiecRZCN6XX-1wk\_B2XgsPGAGAap3o2X8x8&dib\_tag=se&keywords=shark%2Brobot%2Bvacuum%2Band%2Bmop&qid=1763311499&sprefix=shark%2Brobot%2B%2Caps%2C241&sr=8-3&ufe=app\_do%3Aamzn1.fos.5998aa40-ec6f-4947-a68f-cd087fee0848&th=1](https://www.amazon.com/Shark-Mopping-Mapping-CleanEdge-AV2630WA/dp/B0DFZ2HMY8/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1BBDB1370RH4H&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.R7jRC6lx9uVee82xhfBQDIGGPGajy2URMAg8P9xJM6wFFpdlPvl6fWZ8EayUoLFQZmDNbc3CJwyETuyO1xxlaogrfcI9TuVW7DOR_ybgMROpG3OYDX2UMl7hX5BlepRkoCBfsZxUE4MmZL3UIYv2apRchO7wO6vjlTVnmktnbwQ2ySkt9hKDVZfs-wDQZJjlrj4KO52GzHTwuNW-KgIt5qP3cLOQAOVytc42Ka7iyXo.OvqGgZTsOiecRZCN6XX-1wk_B2XgsPGAGAap3o2X8x8&dib_tag=se&keywords=shark%2Brobot%2Bvacuum%2Band%2Bmop&qid=1763311499&sprefix=shark%2Brobot%2B%2Caps%2C241&sr=8-3&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.5998aa40-ec6f-4947-a68f-cd087fee0848&th=1) I have this one! It does mop, though. Shark is a good brand and it helps a lot with the litter. I run the vacuum probably twice as much or more than the mop because of the litter.
r/litterrobot • Roomba users!! ->I have 3 dogs. I just bought my first robot vacuum. I got the shark matrix plus . I honestly didn't expect a lot. Little guy is amazing. Does a great job with edges. Gets all the fur and mops too. I caught a sale got it for $200 . It navigates under my 8 seat dining table beautifully. I don't have carpet have tile and wood and it's great. It does a good job with my rugs too but I do.tuck the tassells under for the one rug with tassels.
r/RobotVacuums • What robot vacuum should I buy? ->I use a Shark Matrix. It self empties and has a lot of features for its price point. It uses both bumpers and LiDAR to navigate around and vacuums up GSD and Lab fur really well.
r/germanshepherds • Robot vacuum? Best ones? ->Not BIFL, but our Shark (get the self emptying base!) has withstood 4 cats, a long haired dog, 3 adults, a toddler, and a long haired teenager for 4 years and still doing well. I was incredibly disappointed in the original roomba I tried. If you do buy a shark buy directly from them. Their customer service is phenomenal. I bought one through a home improvement store as it was on sale. It had a charging issue within 12 months and when I called Shark I was told that since I hadn’t bought from them they couldn’t cover the full replacement even under warranty. BUT if I paid shipping they would send me a new one - $34 later I had a new one on the way. Bonus points as I was able to fix the original and had two robot vacs for the price of 1+ shipping.
r/BuyItForLife • Robot vacuum recommendation? ->I have a dog that never stops shedding. And I just got two cats. I have the Shark robot vacuum that self empties. I love it. I still vacuum every couple of days and get plenty of fur and dirt but I know it picks up its fair share because I empty the reservoir once every week or so and there is plenty in there. I can tell if it doesn’t run for a couple days because I will notice the floors not being as clean. I typically just have it run every day while I’m at work on a timer so I come home to fresh carpet lines. It’s worth spending a little more on these robot vacuums because the self emptying is huge, especially if you have square footage to cover. But 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.
r/CleaningTips • I'm about to check myself in a mental institution ->yes. we have three shibas and *had* two automatic vaccums until one of them succumbed from dog hair and the other one is literally on its last leg. highly recommend, as well as the shark vac/mop!
r/dogs • Is a Roomba-like vacuum worth it for dogs? I need to be de-influenced for my wallets sake ->Same here. I have a Dyson animal that I use once a week. I run the self emptying shark matrix the days I don’t use the Dyson. I don’t have carpet though and that seems to help. When we had carpet it required more effort on my part.
r/husky • Best robot vacuum...for all the hair? ->I like our Shark Matrix. Low cost (relatively), no mop, no bags (empties into a removable plastic bin), and the app is decent. Have been running for a few months and it’s good. We have a dog also (medium hair length). Picks up the hair really well. 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. Once every other week it will get stuck, but for the most part it handles the terrain and the thresholds, and jumps onto an area rug well. We also have some new rugs, so they are “shedding” a lot, which makes me empty more often. I think I got it for about $279 around the holidays, but have seen them lately in the low $300’s on Amazon.
r/RobotVacuums • What’s the best self-emptying vacuum only device? ->That’s crazy. I’d hate that too. How old is it / what model. I’ve never had anything like that happen. I have had it stop because the roller needs clearing, which I now clean about once a week.
r/RobotVacuums • What’s the best self-emptying vacuum only device? ->I would offer a couple of things. We have a medium length hairy dog. It’s whey we got a robovac, tbh. We got a shark matrix (not selling you this one, just commenting on features I think are important to understand). We’ve had one a few months and it’s a life changer, imho. Two features I’d look for in any vac are rollers that won’t tangle because they have some advanced feature of some sort, and a self emptying bin, not a bag, a bin. I didn’t realize what an advantage the bin would be, and lucked into this feature, because I wasn’t purposely shopping for it. Maybe bags last long and compact the do hair, idk. Our “30 day bin” has a little dirt and is full of a hair ball in a week. I’d ask folks with dogs how long bags last. I’d want to make sure they aren’t ripping through them at a cost you aren’t expecting. Other than that, I love having a robovac, no more hairballs floating all around the house. Enjoy.
r/RobotVacuums • Which one is better for dog hair? ->My Shark is just over one year old out of warranty. I was very happy with it but it just stopped dispensing cleaner when mopping. A common problem with these. There is no fix for it. I’ve tried everything.
r/RobotVacuums • Best affordable mopping robot ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
