We have four dogs, two rescues and a lab that are 80+ pounds and SHED, all over, all the time. I've felt like I lived with a vacuum in my hand. We decided to jump on the robotic vacuum bandwagon. After MUCH research and comparisons, we settled on the iRobot Roomba s9+. We couldn't be happier!!! It is amazing to watch how it navigates, even under our beds, dressers, side tables, etc., and picks up ALL the hair! We love that it is programmable and has the ability to be controlled with an app from "off" as this is in our lake home. The noise level is very tolerable, almost mesmerizing while doing other activities in our home. We HIGHLY recommend this item and would encourage anyone to give it a try!
