Original Request Description

I need help picking a robot vacuum for a small apartment with two shedding cats. The place is mostly hardwood with one low-pile rug in the living room and a few door thresholds, so I care more about hair pickup and easy maintenance than fancy smart features. My budget is $300 max, and I’d rather get something reliable than chase the highest suction number on the box.

Please compare 3 to 5 current options and tell me which one is the best buy for pet hair in this budget. A useful answer should cover how well each model handles cat hair on hard floors and rugs, whether the brush design is likely to tangle, how often the bin needs emptying, battery life, noise level, and whether the app/navigation features are actually worth paying for. If there’s a better pick at around $200 and a stronger one near the top of my budget, call both out. I do not need mopping unless it is genuinely useful and doesn’t make maintenance worse. Please also mention any models you would skip and why, especially if they have weak edge cleaning, bad hair pickup, or parts that are annoying to clean.
