Xiaomi Roborock s50. Does great job on carpet. Mopping is okay, but pain to setup, and you have to stop the thing running back to home if home is over the carpet. Mapping is generally good, but probably stuffs up every month or two. I just wipe the map and let it generate its own again, but that won't work if you have got virtual exclusions zones as you'll need to add them back. Recommend powering it down once in a while as that seems to avoid it getting confused. It hates gaps the same height as it, and regularly stuffs up around furniture with star bases... drive a up a leg like a ramp and will get stuck. I put those little stick on clear cupboard bumpers on the legs and that works until they get knocked off. But apart from that, love it. Vacuum is really good.

They are not good if there is someone with long hair in the place, hair will strip off the brushes in no time. Robby died of a stuck left wheel after 2 years Son of Robby died from a stuck right wheel after 3 years Zombie Robby, with parts from Robby and Son of Robby died after failing to detect the stairs due to dust buildup on the sensors. Robby the Constantly Horny, has been trying to mount the Fan leg for the last 5 years, he's on battery number 2, brushes x3. I love my roomba(s), they love eating cables and herding the waste paper bin around the kitchen. When they get bored they go and hide under the sofa or between the chair legs of the dinning table, when he's not humping the upright fan.

Our 11 month old German Shepherd is blowing her coat and the place is dog hair central hence the question. I know a few people who have had them but they've died after a few months etc. The better ones that can self empty etc seem to be around the $1500 mark - which gets up there in price as we have two floors and they haven't invented one that climbs stairs yet. :) David Connors da...@connors.com<mailto:da...@connors.com> | M +61 417 189 363 Telegram: https://t.me/davidconnors LinkedIn: http://au.linkedin.com/in/davidjohnconnors
