Depends on the size of your house. I have a 1040 square foot apartment with 1 cat. The first few times I ran it took about 2 hours and had to empty every time it came back to base to recharge (it runs about an hour per charge). Every time since the cleaning time has shortened (down to 45 minutes now) and I only have to empty every few days (cleans every day). I think if you let it run every day, you shouldn't have issues. Again, tho, this depends on the size of your house.

You must empty the dust bin each cleaning in the case of pets. When you first get your Roomba it will find a lot of pet hair but if you clean regularly like every day in your case, the cleaning load will settle down to normal

I have a short hair frenchie and between him and two carpets for about 1000sqrft bottom floor it needs cleaned every day / 2days max. I’d probably recommend the upgrade.

Well, if you can get a robot that empties itself, that's obviously ideal! But you'll be surprised at how well all Roombas manage a lot of pet hair. The bin holds a surprising amount, and you can also schedule cleanings regularly - even daily - to stay on top of the fur.
