Overwhelmed at RoboVac choices and just wanted some recommendations.

So I’ve recently been in the market for a robot vacuum/mop combo for my house. I live in a small townhouse with 4 cats (who became residents when my girlfriend moved in) and would really only need this for the downstairs area, which is all hardwood and maybe about 750-800sqft total. I really just want a “set and forget” kind of deal, and mainly just want it to get the main floor areas. Not being able to get all corners/under cabinets and under the couch isn’t a huge deal.

I saw the Shark Matrix Plus is on a major sale on their website and was considering that (GF cleans houses and uses Shark, which is why I started there) but also saw things like the Roborock Q10 or of course some of the iRobot Roombas out there. I’ve got a budget of about $350-400 but honestly just don’t really know what I’m looking for. Just something that will pick up food debris/bits of cat litter that get thrown around and can mop the floors as well.

Any kind of direction is helpful! And sorry if this isn’t allowed here or if there are other resources I can look for to help.
