"I have a roomba iRobot… If it died today, I’d buy another one tomorrow."

"Hear me out. I know roomba is pricey but it lasts FOREVER."

"If you keep up with the maintenance they work really well."

"Hear me out. I know roomba is pricey but it lasts FOREVER."

"I love mine!"

"We got a refurbished Roomba i4 for $200 on Amazon and it has been awesome."

"I love controlling my Roomba with Home Assistant, even without internet access."

"I love it. Especially creating schedules and creating rooms. It’s the best and I don’t have to call house cleaning as often."

"I got my self-emptying roomba for $150 on Facebook marketplace and that thing is a tank for dog hair."

"I have a bare bones basic iRobot & 2 cats. You don’t need to buy one that is marketed as specifically for pet hair - they are all just vacuums. I named my robot Miles and I love him!"

Eufy

4.3

(29)

"I would highly recommend that brand."

"I have a eufy that I got on sale a number of years ago for about $120 and I love it."

"It has a cutting blade in the base that automatically cuts hair from the roller which is great."

"Absolutely loving it."

"Vacuum Wars on YouTube just put the Eufy L60 as their best budget vacuum."

"It's one of the greatest things I've ever purchased."

"I love it."

"I definitely recommend eufy."

"It is bloody amazing. And after a year of use its is still reliable too."

Roomba

3.6

(25)

"I would personally say save for a used Roomba j7+."

"I have a roomba, and love it. It’s pricey, but their customer service is great."

"Just have to add, I have one carpet at the doors to catch mud, the rest of the house is hardwood."

"Live my roomba for daily cleaning."

"The j5 is probably the lowest end you would want to go with and those are $400 for the combo version, which would lead me to just recommend the j7+ non combo for $350 on Amazon."

"The roomba j7 (not the plus) would be a great option for you but its 299 so mind adding 99 dollars more for a great machine."

"My floor look great."

"I bought a new one on sale instead."

"I personally have a Roomba."

"Maybe Roomba is the top brand for pet hair today."

Shark

(22)

"Was really fast and quiet, could do the whole house on a single charge."

"I have not seen any hair on any of our hardwood floors and have even been able to walk around in socks or barefoot without getting hair all over them."

"I have a Shark that we like a lot."

"I love the shark robovac that empties itself."

"I currently have a shark. I like the shark better."

"Our plan is to save up and buy a Shark pet hair robot vacuum."

"I’ve had the S5 for a few years now. I just can’t fault the performance of the one I have."

"Go for a Xiaomi Vacuum-Mop 2 Pro."

"It is smart and convenient for home cleaning and the prices are good."

"I have the Xiaomi S10 and it's amazing!"

"You can consider the Xiaomi X10+. I think it’s a good price for its value in my region."

"My Xiaomi S12 handles the fur well enough, if you set it to full send."

"I'm happy. in ger it’s around 350-400€."

"It works well for pet hair and also fits within your budget."

"I've had the Ecovacs T30s for about six months now, and it's been great."

"Personally I think it was worth every penny."

"The mop function sucked."

"The Ecovacs N8+ struggles with mapping and has operational issues, making it not worth the investment."

Wyze

(6)

"We have 2 of the Wyze ones and love them."

"It does a better job than my Roomba i3 and it’s easier to clean and maintain."

"I've got one from Wyze and have been quite happy with it."

"I love my Wyze robot for 180 right now."

"They recommend the Wyze for general use, which hits your $200 budget."

"I like the Wyze one because it runs in a grid pattern and doesn’t bump into everything because it also has lidar to scan the area."

iRobot Roomba

"I have an iRobot Roomba that empties its own bag into a base. Love it."

"I have a Roomba that I got when I was pregnant and I love it."

#11

Dyson

4.0

(3)

"Personally I’d just get a cordless Dyson Animal or something similar and vacuum a couple times a week."

"If all you care about is the vacuuming performance, the dyson robot vacuum is the best performer."

"Still give it a good going over with the Dyson every so often, but it makes a big difference to how often you need to."

SwitchBot

5.0

(2)

"We'll be getting an S10 for downstairs to handle mopping duties as well."
