I've had the Shark Robot vacuum for two weeks now and it's does a great job of cleaning up after our two kids and German shepherd. The dog sheds so much though, that it does have to pause to recharge before finishing cleaning the house. The vacuum also had the misfortune of eating one of the kids toys, so that had to be fished out. Since our shepherd sheds so much the dust bin also needed to be emptied already. But that's to be expected!!!
