Hello Everyone,
I’m in the market for a robot vacuum and could really use your expertise. My household includes two very active cats, which means lots of pet hair and occasional litter spills on the floor. The majority of my home has hardwood floors, with a few medium-pile rugs in the living room and bedrooms.
Here’s what I’m looking for:
Effective Pet Hair Pickup: Something that can keep up with the constant shedding without clogging or losing efficiency.
Good Navigation: My furniture layout is a bit complex, so I’d prefer a model with smart mapping or advanced navigation features to avoid it getting stuck.
Ease of Maintenance: A device that’s easy to clean and maintain would be ideal. Bonus points if it doesn’t require frequent emptying or has a self-emptying feature.
I’ve been researching brands like iRobot, Roborock, and Shark but feel overwhelmed by the options and features. For those of you who own robot vacuums, which models would you recommend for my needs? Are there any specific features or pitfalls I should be aware of when choosing?
Additionally, how well do robot vacuums handle rugs? I’m worried about them either skipping the rugs entirely or damaging them.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice! I’m looking forward to hearing about your experiences and recommendations.
