I was a little skeptical about this at first, however after a few rounds of the house it does a fantastic job of picking up the tumble weeds of cat hair floating about. The mopping function works really well, though it is only a water wipe and is best used as a in between solution. It does pretty well of lasering and bumping its way around the house and could probably do with a bit more smarts to actually pick the best way to attack, but you can't complain when your not swinging off a vacuum yourself. Worth a buy and certainly so at a discounted price.
