RFI: Robot Vacuum Cleaners

[Irelander]

So....somehow, my wife and daughter talked me into getting a cat....or two. We take receipt of them as soon as they are old enough. So we are expecting a lot of hair around the house. We have a good Dyson Ball Pet model which is awesome, but I'd love to have a robot to sweep once a day to try and keep things a little cleaner....and rile up the cat(s).

What is the best value right now in robot vacuum cleaners? Are any better than others at picking up cat hair?

If you have animals, don't "auto clean"...

Thanks guys. After looking at your suggestions, my wife was intrigued by this one.

We're going to give it a try.

Bump.

After just under five years of faithful service, our Neato Botvac Connected has gone into an infinite reboot cycle. While I'm still playing with it, hopes are fading that we'll get it working again.

There have been a ton of options for robot vacuums over the past few years, so I'm curious to hear experiences. We're presently looking at a Roborock S4 Max (https://www.amazon.com/Roborock-Navigation-Suction-Multi-Level-Connected/dp/B08CNCB44L?ref_=ast_sto_dp), as it seems to get solid reviews and has explicit no-go zones that can be setup with an app.

What else are people using / recommending?

I have nothing useful to add...but the mention of cats and robot vacuums reminded me of this...
