One reviewer found the included sample solution enough for a room, but noted whole-home cleaning would require buying more.
Pros: Pet-Ready Features, Tool-change simplicity
Cons: Overall durability/longevity, Build quality and durability
Ownership cost evidence was mixed: solution and replacement costs can add up, though one review noted DIY solution could reduce expense.
Pros: Cord length, Cordless convenience
Cons: Under-Furniture Pickup, Crevice / Groove Pickup (Hard Floors)
Ownership cost evidence was limited to one pet-version comparison noting that extra Spot Chaser solution has to be purchased.
Pros: Pet-Ready Features, Tool-change simplicity
Cons: Support and Reliability, Overall durability/longevity
Ownership cost evidence was limited but negative, centered on needing extra cleaning solution because the machine uses liquid quickly.
Pros: Pet-Ready Features, Tool-change simplicity
