Original Request Description

I’m trying to buy a robot vacuum for a small apartment with one very fluffy dog and a lot of shedding. My budget is ideally under $300, but I can stretch to about $400 if the jump in performance is actually worth it. The main problem is pet hair on low-pile rugs, hardwood, and the little dust tumbleweeds that collect under the couch and around baseboards. I do not need a fancy mopping feature if it makes the vacuum worse or more annoying to maintain.

Please compare a few good current options and tell me which one is the best value for pet hair specifically. I want a practical recommendation, not a spec-sheet victory lap. A good answer should include the strongest pick, one cheaper alternative, one better-but-more-expensive option, and a short explanation of why each is or is not a good fit. Please call out things like suction, brush design for hair tangles, bin size, runtime, navigation quality, app reliability, and whether it handles rugs well. If there are any models that look good on paper but are a pain in real life because of tangled rollers, weak edge cleaning, or constant map issues, please flag those too.
