"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"
"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."
"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 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."
"The roborock cleans the carpet so well I haven't seen or felt any litter anymore."

"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"

"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."
"Mine maps and shows you the actual map of everything in the room including the obstructions like furniture."

"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"
"for the love of God please don get a roomba combo model. They don work… ever."

"Unlike the Roomba, which constantly needed rescuing. ... Four years of dealing with that pain in the a$$"
"my Qrevo Edge was not able to avoid some cables or other things like small pet toys my puppy would bring out at times. ... Once it even ran over a little log (of shit) my puppy left out for it which caused me to have to open it up and clean it out."
"the robot has no obstacle avoidance ... In terms of obstacles, that‘s pretty much the main reason why I added the 10R to my other floor where my cat and his toys are, it has great obstacle avoidance."

"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."

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.
Bulb381 1.0We have two shark auto empty one for upstairs and one down. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0B8B6N2G4?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title&th=1 we have hard wood floors and don't use the mop feature. Also you have to empty the bins once a week but we have 3 huskies so your mileage might vary. We had one before that lasted 2 years. Before that we had roombas and those were worthless. The sharks are worth every penny. They run 7 days a week and keep the tumble weeds of fur to a minimum. Good luck op
Krystin_H 1.0I’ve had a Shark for 3 years, and while it can be a dumb robot, it does a pretty good job keeping up with 2 big shedders. My only complaint is that it is hard to re-set up if you move or change routers.
Masters_pet_411 1.0We just got [this one](https://a.co/d/61g3pK5) by shark and I love it. It vacuums and mops at the same time. We have laminate plank flooring through the whole house and it leaves the floors clean without being wet. It dries quickly and it mapped the house really well. To map the house, I did move everything I could into a back room I don't want it to go in, so it would still get areas when I move furniture around. 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. I still have our old vacuum only robot and set them up in Alexa to take turns running. So the house is vacuumed daily (both robots have a base that empties the robot so I just empty bases when they are full), and mopped every other day. I'm currently using the floor cleaner that came with it but I'm getting odoban pet solutions today to mix with water for the mopping vacuum. Very happy with our floors now!
PlanMagnet38 1.0I loved my Shark robot so I “upgraded” to the mop combo. It’s horrible and doesn’t suck up *anything* 🙁
Positive_Cut_8646 1.0Ecovac and Dreame are both amazing! Ecovac for a more mop centric feature https://amzn.to/4bpyV21 I also tried the Shark in a store and bought it! It's amazing and very much in budget https://amzn.to/49j4Sr2
. I had pretty similar requirements to yours but had also added mop as a requirement because I also have hardwood flooring plus kitchen and bathrooms can do with a good mop every now and then Context: I have two over shedding beings in the house , one is a dog and other is a human, so I can comfortably say this robot I choose work for both. I have two robots, one for upstairs bedroom and bathroom and one for large downstairs living area that sees more of the chaos So my suggestions: 1) roborock! This is my 2nd roborock in 7 years and honestly the price is justified. It lasts forever if cleaned out and change it's parts (app tells you when to) so this is the one I have: https://amzn.to/48YmUPv 2) Shark is a more recent addition for the top floor: https://amzn.to/490cwa9

What a fun way to ask Robo Vacuum questions.

It lasts forever if cleaned out and change it's parts (app tells you when to) so this is the one I have: https://amzn.to/48YmUPv 2) Shark is a more recent addition for the top floor - was very much in budget (not too expensive like roborock and I could test it in a store as Shark products are available to test in some stores) , I bought it through amazon: https://amzn.to/490cwa9 Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions Also both have good mapping ( especially roborock) and I am amazed at the self cleaning - only need to empty once in a few weeks based on our use
liquidplumbr 0.6Shark 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.
Bromata 0.6I returned my shark matrix 2 in 1, I returned my ecovacs t20. Both out of the box would not return to the station. The shark cleaned ok and had a terrible map. The t20 cleaned great and had a good map, but the app froze every single time. The eufy x10 Omni cleans great and works.
engineeringnerd2 0.6Shark Matrix 2 in 1 is a budget friendly option. We refill the tank every day and replace the mop pad (machine washable), so only takes a couple of minutes of maintenance a day. And it maps the house so you can tell it to only clean certain rooms if you want and has an app/scheduling
harwarg 0.6I have the Shark Matrix 2 in 1, and am quite happy with it. I dont know how it compares to others though....
