Hello! Thanks for your time. I live in a 127 sq meters apartment with tiles. It also has 3 rooms, the kitchen, the laundry and two bathrooms. Basically, I want it to clean my cat's hair, my girlfriend's hair that she throws a lot too also to keep the kitchen floor clean. We live 3 people here and no one takes care, it's me and I don't have time to keep it decent every day, I know it's not the same as doing it manually and deeply but I want something that can assist me with this at least a little bit. My budget is 200 (could be a little bit more) and if it mops also, I would love it. Also, it worries me the amount of times a year I have to put the replacement parts, so I think it's important it's a brand that I can find those implements and the cheaper ones.

I saw this one:

Open to any suggestions, thanks!

All I can say is avoid ones with a floor mop feature. The mop gets dirty very quickly just spreads dirty solution all over the floor.

Mine cleans itself during the mopping process. might want to research a little more on this.

Had a few. Not impressed. Mine self cleaned as well. Unless you’re in a very small space it just isn’t practical

You’re right, but OP also said for $200 and there aren’t any robot vacuums that can do that for $200.

Broom and a dustpan?
