Looking to buy something like a Roomba. We got a hardwood floor, 1200 square feet. 2 cats and a dog. Picking up all the animal hair, dust and small bits of trash on the floor is the primary goal, but if the mopping technology has gotten pretty advanced, im interested in that functionality very much as well. Mopping is one of my most dreaded chores.

Theres a lot of competitors and brands out there now so its hard to know whats legit and whats Chinese garbage thats dumber than a doorstop.

Any recommendations on what the best ones are and what the best value is?

With stuff like this, I think it's hard to trust a single person's recommendation because no one has owned all of them.

I've never owned a mop robot, but both of the vacuuming irobots I own have been great and worth the money. No idea if the lower cost knockoffs work as well.

Im at the point where I trust zero internet reviews because theyre all shills building affiliate links to farm affiliate cash, or the companies making fake reviews to pump their own ratings.

I'd trust a single person's recommendation more these days than some "10 best vacuum robots for 2020" on www.vacuum-robot-reviews.com website

Woot had a shark ion for $99 bucks a few weeks ago. Wifi/ Alexa. Use it upstairs, all carpet. Works really well. Im surprised how quickly it gets full. Probably from under the beds. It's crazy quiet compared to my 2 old roombas downstairs.

We have an iRobot on each floor. We have a couple cats in the house, and it really cleans up the hair. We have somewhere around 3,500 square feet, and we periodically start them in specific rooms so they get it all. They really do a good job at picking up the pet hair. We run ours Monday through Friday, and clean it out almost every time.

Update: This thing is a fucking champ. If youre still on the fence about robo vacuums, try this one as its pretty affordable.

No regrets here.

Wife likes it getting more up than our existing robot. However it shit out one of the roles today somehow. Not sure if bad unit, wierd fluke or what.

theres no reason it should take over a week to arrive, other than to stall, it said shipped, but the only updates i get from ups is label created only.
