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!

Everyone here just making your life more difficult. That shark is incredible value for the price of you can get it for 188.

Lidar, sonic mopping, hair cutting brush roller, decent app.

I've used one and I like it more than my roborock 5s max, which I paid considerably more for a couple years back.
