LiDAR mapping and a bagless self-empty dock make this Shark a capable daily runner on hard floors with pets, but carpet pickup underwhelms and the canister fills in days when shedding is heavy. The foam base filter releases a plume of fine dust when pulled out, and a handful of owners report the bot climbing furniture legs hard enough to scuff the finish or ignoring no-go zones.
