Solid-ReviewsBest Robot Vacuums for Pet Hair (2026)
Best Robot Vacuums for Pet Hair (2026)
The short version: The Roborock Qrevo S5V is the best all-around robot vacuum for pet hair — 12,000Pa suction, an SGS-certified zero-tangle brush system, and a self-emptying dock that washes its own mops, usually around $500. If your biggest fear is a pet "accident" disaster, the iRobot Roomba j7+ has the best obstacle avoidance in the business. On a tight budget, the Shark AV2501AE gives you self-emptying and LiDAR mapping for around $300 on sale.
Pet hair is a special problem. A robot vacuum that works fine in a pet-free home can choke in a house with a shedding lab or two long-haired cats. What actually matters: a brushroll that doesn't turn into a hair burrito, enough suction to pull embedded fur out of carpet, a self-emptying dock so you're not touching allergen-filled dustbins every day, and obstacle avoidance good enough to dodge toys — and worse.
How this guide works: we don't run a test lab, and nothing below is a reprinted review. For each vacuum we've read the published verdicts from established review outlets and owner communities, and synthesized them — scores, key findings, and where the sources agree or disagree — in our own words, with links to the originals. See "How we compiled this" below for the full method.
How we compiled this
We synthesize ratings and verdicts from named review sources; we don't reprint their text. For this guide we consulted the published testing of RTINGS, Tom's Guide, TechGearLab, Vacuum Wars, TechRadar, Android Authority, Modern Castle, PureWow, and Consumer Reports (where their testing was accessible), plus aggregated Amazon owner ratings and owner discussions on Reddit's r/RobotVacuums.
Each product section names exactly which outlets covered that model, with their score or verdict summarized in our own words and linked to the original review page. Where the labs disagree with each other — or with owners — we say so instead of smoothing it over. Coverage isn't uniform: some outlets haven't tested every model, and we note those gaps rather than filling them in. Short quoted phrases are attributed; full sentences from reviews never appear here.
What pet owners should look for
- Anti-tangle brush design. Rubberized or dual-roller brushes resist hair wrap far better than bristle brushes. Look for third-party tangle certifications (like SGS) rather than marketing slogans.
- Suction (Pa). Manufacturers publish Pascal ratings — higher generally means better carpet and embedded-hair pickup, though brush design and airflow matter too.
- Self-emptying. With pets, the onboard bin fills fast. A dock that empties into a sealed bag or bagless chamber (rated 60 days or more) means far less allergen contact.
- Obstacle avoidance. Camera or structured-light systems that recognize pet waste, cords, and toys keep the robot from smearing a disaster across your floor or getting stuck while you're away.
- Filtration. True HEPA (captures 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns) matters for dander and allergy sufferers.
Roborock Qrevo S5V — best overall for pet hair
The Qrevo S5V (often shortened to Qrevo S5) is Roborock's mid-range flagship and the strongest all-rounder on this list for pet owners. Its standout feature is an SGS-certified zero-tangle brush system — a rubberized floating main brush plus an arc-shaped side brush designed specifically so long hair slides off instead of wrapping around the roller. Owner reports and review consensus say it genuinely reduces the weekly brush-de-hairing ritual that plagues cheaper robots.
The headline numbers are strong: 12,000Pa of suction, up to 180 minutes of runtime, and LiDAR navigation with multi-floor mapping (up to four floor plans). The all-in-one dock auto-empties the dustbin into a container rated for roughly 10 weeks of debris, washes the dual spinning mops, dries them with warm air, and refills the water tank. The FlexiArm mop arms extend into corners and around furniture legs, and the mops lift 10mm over carpet. Obstacle avoidance uses structured-light sensors — solid for cables and toys in independent testing, though no mid-range system is perfect at detecting pet waste.
What the reviews say
- Vacuum Wars — 3.33/5. Calls it a strong value pick at discounted prices. Lab measurements: 92% embedded-sand removal from carpet (4th best of 205+ robots tested) and 92% flattened pet-hair pickup — but only 6 of 24 obstacles avoided, and below-average bench suction. The standout lab result: zero wrapped hairs in their 7-inch hair-tangle test, against a 38% average tangle rate.
- TechGearLab — 73/100. High marks for carpet cleaning (8.6) and ease of use (8.9), but pet hair was one of its weakest categories at 5.1/10, with pickup around edges and corners singled out as less impressive. They credited the brush design as easy to maintain.
- Android Authority — 4.5/5. Frames it as "half the price of Roborock's best, still top-tier" — a well-priced, highly capable autonomous cleaner.
- Reddit (r/RobotVacuums) — positive. Owners praise the visible cleaning path in carpet, the app, and quiet operation. Pet owners are enthusiastic: one two-husky owner reported it was the first robot that didn't tangle on long husky fur. The recurring caveat matches the labs — obstacle avoidance is merely okay, and owners clear cords before runs. (Owner discussion aggregator)
- Amazon owners: roughly 4.2–4.3/5 across about 1,200+ ratings.
Consensus: the tangle-free pet-hair story checks out in both lab tests and owner reports — this is the least maintenance-heavy brush here. The verified caveats are weak obstacle avoidance and weaker pet-hair pickup at edges and corners.
Coverage note: we couldn't verify reviews of this model from RTINGS, Wirecutter, Tom's Guide, or Consumer Reports.
Honest drawbacks: It requires a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network (no 5GHz support), which can complicate setup in modern mesh homes. Lab-tested obstacle avoidance is the weak point — Vacuum Wars' protocol had it dodging only 6 of 24 obstacles, and TechGearLab found pet-hair pickup weaker at edges and corners. And as a relatively new model, long-term durability data is still thin. The dock is also large; measure your space.
- Suction: 12,000Pa | Battery: up to 180 min | Mapping: LiDAR + SLAM | Brush: zero-tangle dual system | Self-empty: ~10 weeks | Typical price: ~$500 (list $900) | Owner rating: ~4.2/5 across ~1,200 Amazon ratings | Review scores: Vacuum Wars 3.33/5, TechGearLab 73/100, Android Authority 4.5/5
iRobot Roomba j7+ — best obstacle avoidance (and the P.O.O.P. promise)
The j7+ is the robot to buy if your pet is unpredictable. Its camera-based PrecisionVision Navigation identifies and avoids over 80 common objects — including the big one: pet waste. iRobot backs this with the famous P.O.O.P. (Pet Owner Official Promise): if the j7+ runs over solid pet waste, iRobot replaces the robot for free. No competitor offers anything comparable, and owners with accident-prone pets consistently cite this as the deciding factor.
Beyond avoidance, the j7+ is a genuinely good daily cleaner. Dual rubber brushes handle pet hair well on hard floors and low-to-medium carpet, the Clean Base empties the bin into a 2.5L sealed AllergenLock bag rated for up to 60 days, and Imprint Smart Mapping supports room-by-room scheduling and keep-out zones.
What the reviews say
- Tom's Guide — 91.81/100 lab cleaning score. Measured 92.5% dog-hair pickup on hardwood but 72.5% on carpet (82.5% combined) — decent, not class-leading. It dodged simulated pet waste and small obstacles, though it initially missed a medium dog toy and could bump furniture hard. Flagged: loud dock emptying.
- TechGearLab — pet-friendly pick (no overall score extracted). Lifted 2 grams of test pet hair — a top-three result in its test group — and dodged both simulated waste samples, though it left a wide uncleaned perimeter around them. Knocks: inefficient paths and hard furniture bumps.
- Vacuum Wars — "Best Roomba Vacuuming Robot to Date" (at review time). Carpet deep-clean score of 91; pet-waste avoidance worked perfectly in its tests; strong hard-floor and carpet pickup despite low measured suction. Caveat for pet owners: its long-hair test was below average — hair wrapped around axles — and runtime is short at ~75 minutes.
- RTINGS — reviewed (scores member-gated). Indexed write-ups position it as good on hard floors and decent on carpet with highly effective hazard avoidance, but struggling with fine debris and pet hair embedded in high-pile carpet. No mopping.
- Modern Castle — 96.37% average cleaning score. Its hair test passed with zero tangle — the dual rubber brushes grabbed long test strands without wrapping.
- PureWow — 91/100. An enthusiastic long-term, owner-style review; suction was its weakest category.
- Reddit — mixed-positive (~3.9/5 across ~1.5k mentions per a third-party aggregate). Pet-waste avoidance and the self-empty dock are the beloved parts; the recurring complaints are hair wrapping around rollers and axles with long-haired cats, plus firmware and mapping glitches. No single canonical thread; sentiment is spread across posts.
- Amazon owners: roughly 4.2/5 across about 32,000 ratings — one of the largest owner datasets in robot vacuums.
Consensus: the obstacle-avoidance story is the most independently verified claim in this guide — four separate labs confirm the waste-dodging. The tradeoff is mid-pack deep-carpet pet-hair pickup and regular roller maintenance. One thing to know: iRobot filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in December 2025; the company says the app, warranties, and support continue as usual, but the j7+ is a 2021 model with an inherently finite support horizon.
Coverage note: we couldn't verify exact-model coverage from Wirecutter or Consumer Reports.
Honest drawbacks: No mopping at all — it's vacuum-only (the Combo j7+ adds a mop at higher cost). iRobot doesn't publish a Pa suction figure, and lab consensus puts it mid-pack on high-pile carpet and deep embedded hair — Tom's Guide measured just 72.5% dog-hair pickup on carpet. Multiple labs and owners report long pet hair wrapping the dual brushes and axles. The app gets frequent complaints about bugginess and map resets. And it's expensive at full price ($799) with ongoing bag costs (~$20 per 3-pack).
- Suction: not published (iRobot rates "10x" vs base models) | Battery: listed at 120 min | Mapping: PrecisionVision camera + floor tracking | Brush: dual rubber | Self-empty: 60 days (2.5L bag) | Typical price: ~$500–600 on sale (list $800) | Owner rating: ~4.2/5 across ~32k Amazon ratings | Review scores: Tom's Guide 91.81/100 (lab), PureWow 91/100, Modern Castle 96.37% (lab)
eufy X10 Pro Omni — best mopping hybrid for the price
If you want a robot that both vacuums pet hair and mops up paw prints, the X10 Pro Omni is the value hybrid. It pairs 8,000Pa suction with dual rotating mop pads that auto-lift 12mm over carpet, and its all-in-one station empties the dustbin into a 2.5L bag (~2 months), washes the mop pads with clean water, and dries them with heated air to prevent mildew. The Pro-Detangle auto-detangling roller brush is a pet-specific win: multiple owner reports describe going dozens of cleaning cycles without having to cut hair off the roller.
Obstacle avoidance is AI-based and rated for 100+ object types, even in low light. The eufy Clean app is well-regarded for map editing and room scheduling.
What the reviews say
- Vacuum Wars — 3.33/5. Measured 83% carpet deep-cleaning; praised the Pro-Detangle brush and AI obstacle avoidance, plus the full-service dock. Noted the app was buggy at review time.
- RTINGS — lab-tested (comparison write-ups only; no standalone score retrievable). Critical: poor carpet debris and pet-hair pickup, disorganized pathing, unremarkable mopping. Counterweight: hazard avoidance clearly better than rivals, with the all-in-one dock, mapping, and long battery life as positives.
- TechGearLab — 2026 roundup entry (no dedicated review). Cleared their full obstacle course with zero failures — "a reliable value surprise" — but bottom-tier mopping and the loudest robot tested.
- Tom's Guide — CES 2024 preview only. Named it #2 of 7 at the show based on claimed specs (8,000Pa, hot-water mop wash, low-light avoidance); not a scored review.
- Amazon owners: roughly 4.2/5 from about 4,900 ratings — notably more positive on carpet pet hair than the independent lab results.
Consensus: obstacle avoidance and the detangling brush are the verified strengths. Carpet pet-hair pickup is the contested point — the labs are critical, Amazon owners are positive. Buy it for the hybrid mopping and avoidance, not as the carpet king.
Coverage note: we couldn't verify coverage from Wirecutter or Consumer Reports, and found no directly fetchable Reddit threads — owner sentiment above comes from retail reviews.
Honest drawbacks: Mopping reach is a weak spot — reviewers note the pads don't get deep into corners, and TechGearLab rated its mopping near the bottom of its test group. The station is big and loud during emptying cycles; several owners flag the water-tank gurgling noise. RTINGS' lab write-ups rate its carpet debris and pet-hair pickup as poor, which cuts against the Amazon sentiment. At 4.5 inches tall, the robot won't fit under the lowest furniture.
- Suction: 8,000Pa | Battery: up to 180 min (vacuum) / 120 min (vac+mop) | Mapping: LiDAR + camera | Brush: auto-detangling roller | Self-empty: ~2 months (2.5L bag) | Typical price: ~$900 (list $900) | Owner rating: 4.2/5 across ~4,900 Amazon ratings | Review scores: Vacuum Wars 3.33/5
Shark AV2501AE AI Ultra — best budget pick
The AV2501AE is the cheapest way to get a self-emptying, mapping robot vacuum from a major brand. 360° LiDAR mapping with Matrix Clean grid navigation, a bagless self-emptying base rated for 60 days of debris, and true HEPA filtration (99.97% at 0.3 microns) — that bagless-plus-HEPA combo is genuinely rare at this price and a real perk for allergy sufferers tired of buying bags. Runtime is up to 120 minutes with recharge-and-resume.
Typical prices are the headline: list is $650, but it routinely sells for around $300–500, and owners rate it 4.0/5 across more than 14,000 Amazon reviews — a huge sample. Positive reviews consistently mention solid pet-hair pickup on hard floors and the convenience of the bagless base.
What the reviews say
- Vacuum Wars — "incredibly good value" (no numeric score). Rated its cleaning above average across the board with strong suction and airflow, good carpet deep-cleaning, and clean hard-floor pickup — it "did perfectly with pet hair" in their tests. The bagless XL base reliably emptied a bin full of two-cat hair. Criticisms: a buggy app with no real-time tracking, navigation that can get over-persistent in tight spots, below-average battery life — and the "AI" is marketing speak, with no true obstacle avoidance.
- RTINGS — reviewed via the AV2501S variant (~7.0/10 per aggregator). The S is the same robot with the smaller 30-day base; the AE tested here pairs it with the XL 60-day base. RTINGS' write-ups credit strong bare-floor performance and self-emptying, with demanding maintenance as the downside.
- Amazon owners: 4.0/5 across roughly 14,100 ratings.
Consensus: the value story holds up under lab testing — it's the budget self-emptier to beat. The costs are app flakiness, basic (non-camera) obstacle avoidance, and louder, longer emptying cycles.
Coverage note: we couldn't verify a standalone review from Wirecutter, Consumer Reports, or Tom's Guide, and found no r/RobotVacuums threads on this model — owner sentiment above comes from retail reviews. (One caution: TechGearLab's low 56/100 Shark score floating around online belongs to the older camera-navigated Shark AI, a different model — don't apply it here.)
Honest drawbacks: Shark doesn't publish a suction figure, and review consensus says it cleans well but not exceptionally — expect more passes on carpet. Obstacle avoidance is basic for a LiDAR model: it handles furniture fine but lacks the camera-based smarts to dodge cords and small objects, so it's more likely to get stuck in cluttered homes. The Shark app draws the most complaints — flaky connections and a dated interface. Battery life is below average for larger homes, meaning multi-cycle cleans.
- Suction: not published | Battery: up to 120 min | Mapping: 360° LiDAR | Brush: self-cleaning brushroll | Self-empty: 60 days (bagless) | Typical price: ~$300–500 (list $650) | Owner rating: 4.0/5 across ~14,100 Amazon ratings | Review verdicts: Vacuum Wars "incredibly good value"; RTINGS ~7.0/10 (S variant)
Dreame L40 Ultra — premium pick for big, messy homes
The L40 Ultra is the flagship alternative: 11,000Pa suction, up to 194 minutes of runtime, and one of the most automated docks in the category. The station empties debris into a large 3.2L bag, washes mop pads in 149°F hot water, dries them with heated air, refills clean water, dispenses detergent, and even self-cleans its washboard. MopExtend swings a mop pad out to scrub edges and baseboards, the side brush extends into corners, and the mops lift 10.5mm over carpet. It stores four floor maps — the best multi-story option here — and offers live video monitoring.
What the reviews say
- Vacuum Wars — 3.40/5. Says it beat the pricier Dreame X40 in nearly every category, with strong hard-floor and carpet pickup, an extending side brush, and MopExtend for edges. The main tradeoff: hair tangling with the standard brush — though the optional TriCut brush "substantially improved" hair performance in testing.
- RTINGS — lab-tested; poor carpet pet-hair verdict. Calls its pet-hair pickup on carpet poor and hard-floor pickup only passable, with good obstacle avoidance. In August 2026 RTINGS demoted it from a carpet pick to a "Notable Mention," describing it as not ideal for pet owners because it struggles to lift pet hair embedded in carpets.
- TechRadar — 4.5/5, and their best robot vacuum for pet hair overall pick. Their tester found it handled large volumes of dog hair better than anything else they'd tested, on hard floors and carpet alike, with excellent mopping. Dinged: the bulky dock. Their tester also wouldn't trust it around pet waste — hair yes, accidents no.
- Consumer Reports — tested; verdict paywalled. Notably, CR lists its anti-tangle technology as "None" — that's the stock brush; the TriCut brush is an accessory they didn't credit.
- Reddit — 77% positive (third-party aggregate). r/RobotVacuums treats it as the consensus best bang-for-buck flagship at its frequent ~$400 sale price, praising the obstacle avoidance and removable mop pads. Caveats recur: the TriCut brush helps a lot with long hair but is louder, early batches had a front-wheel QC issue commenters say was fixed, and pet-waste avoidance isn't perfect. (Owner discussion aggregator)
- Amazon owners: roughly 4.2–4.3/5 across about 500–700 ratings.
Consensus: the premium spec sheet is real, but pet-hair performance hinges on the optional TriCut brush — budget for it in a pet home. Note the honest disagreement: RTINGS calls its carpet pet-hair pickup poor while TechRadar names it the best pet-hair robot it has tested. The difference is the brush: RTINGS tested stock, TechRadar's praise centers on real-world hair handling with the full setup.
Coverage note: we couldn't verify coverage from Wirecutter, Tom's Guide (dedicated review), or TechGearLab for this exact model — TechGearLab covered the sibling L50 Ultra instead.
Honest drawbacks: The stock brush tangles more than the anti-tangle marketing suggests — Vacuum Wars flagged hair tangling as the main tradeoff, noting Dreame's optional TriCut brush (which slices long hair before it wraps) substantially improves things. RTINGS' poor carpet pet-hair verdict on the stock configuration is the single most cautionary data point in this guide. The dock is enormous; plan for a permanent, ventilated corner. At 71dB in Max+ mode it's the loudest here. And the Dreame app has a learning curve for newcomers.
- Suction: 11,000Pa | Battery: up to ~194 min | Mapping: spinning LiDAR + camera/structured light | Brush: standard roller (TriCut anti-tangle brush available) | Self-empty: 3.2L bag | Typical price: ~$540 (list $1,500) | Owner rating: ~4.2/5 across ~500–700 Amazon ratings | Review scores: Vacuum Wars 3.40/5, TechRadar 4.5/5
Head-to-head: how they compare
For raw pet-hair pickup, suction and brush design tell most of the story. The Roborock Qrevo S5V (12,000Pa) and Dreame L40 Ultra (11,000Pa) lead on published suction; the eufy X10 Pro Omni (8,000Pa) punches above its number on carpet thanks to its brush design, per Vacuum Wars testing — though RTINGS' lab write-ups disagree and rate its carpet pet-hair pickup as poor, a genuine split in the expert record. Neither iRobot nor Shark publish Pa figures, and lab consensus puts the j7+ mid-pack on deep carpet cleaning while the Shark compensates with multiple-pass Matrix Clean navigation.
On tangling, the S5's SGS-certified zero-tangle system has the strongest lab backing (zero wraps in Vacuum Wars' tangle test), and the eufy's Pro-Detangle brush has the best owner feedback; the j7+'s dual rubber brushes are good but not immune — Vacuum Wars' long-hair test had it below average; the Dreame needs its optional TriCut brush to keep up.
On obstacle avoidance, the j7+ is in a league of its own for pet-waste recognition, backed by the replacement guarantee and confirmed by four independent labs. The Dreame and eufy have competent camera-based systems; the Roborock's structured light is fine for toys and cables but weak overall (6 of 24 in lab testing); the Shark is the weakest here.
On running costs: the Shark is bagless (cheapest to run), the j7+ and eufy use disposable bags (~$20 per 3-pack territory), and all the mop-hybrid docks (Roborock, eufy, Dreame) add periodic pad and filter replacements plus occasional detergent.
Frequently asked questions
Is a robot vacuum worth it for pet hair?
If shedding is your daily problem, yes — but only if you buy for the pet-hair specifics. The robots that disappoint pet owners are the ones bought for the wrong reasons: weak suction, a bristle brush that turns into a hair burrito, and a tiny dustbin you're emptying every day. A robot with an anti-tangle brush system, 8,000Pa+ suction, and a self-emptying dock genuinely reduces how often you touch a vacuum — run it daily and the tumbleweeds stop accumulating. What it won't do: replace a full-size upright on high-pile carpet, or replace a de-shedding brush on the animal itself.
Do I need a self-emptying robot vacuum for pet hair?
We'd call it the single most important pet feature. A pet home fills an onboard dustbin in one to three days; without a self-emptying dock, you're shaking out a dusty bin constantly and breathing the allergens you're trying to remove. With a dock, that contact drops to swapping a sealed bag or emptying a chamber every 60+ days. If you have allergies, the sealed-bag docks (Roomba j7+, eufy X10 Pro Omni) beat bagless ones for dust containment.
Which robot vacuum doesn't get tangled in long pet hair?
Look for purpose-built anti-tangle brush designs, not marketing claims: the Roborock Qrevo S5V's SGS-certified zero-tangle system (zero wraps in Vacuum Wars' lab tangle test), the eufy X10 Pro Omni's auto-detangling roller, or Dreame's optional TriCut brush (which physically slices long hair before it wraps). Dual rubber rollers beat single bristle brushes. Owner consensus is consistent across brands: some maintenance is unavoidable with long-haired pets, but the right brush turns a weekly chore into a monthly one.
Can a robot vacuum handle a heavy shedder like a husky?
Yes, with realistic expectations. Heavy shedders need daily runs, strong suction, and a self-emptying dock — skip the dock and you'll be emptying the bin mid-cycle. Brush maintenance stays a fact of life during coat-blowing season, and no robot replaces a proper undercoat de-shedding tool on the dog. The robots in this guide were chosen specifically because owner reports from multi-pet and heavy-shedder homes rate them well — including a two-husky household that calls the Qrevo S5V the first robot that didn't tangle on long fur.
What is the Roomba P.O.O.P. promise?
P.O.O.P. stands for Pet Owner Official Promise: if a Roomba j7+ runs over solid pet waste, iRobot replaces the robot for free. It's the only guarantee of its kind in the category, and it's the reason accident-prone-pet households keep buying the j7+ despite stronger-suction rivals. Note it covers solid waste within the warranty period — check iRobot's current terms for details.
What about pet hair on dark hardwood floors?
Dark floors are a separate problem from pet hair, and they stack: some robots' cliff sensors mistake dark flooring for a drop and refuse to clean it, and hard brushrolls can micro-scratch dark finishes over time. We cover both issues — which models behave and the workarounds — in our robot vacuum dark-floor guide.
Our recommendations
Top pick: Roborock Qrevo S5V. The best balance of anti-tangle engineering, strong suction, self-emptying, and price — and the tangle-free claim is the best-verified in this guide, holding up in both lab tests and owner reports. It's the robot we'd recommend to most pet owners — it handles shedding on all floor types with the least maintenance, usually for around $500.
Budget pick: Shark AV2501AE. When it's on sale near $300, nothing else gives you LiDAR mapping, 60-day self-emptying, and HEPA filtration — and Vacuum Wars' testing says it handles pet hair well. Accept the basic obstacle avoidance and pick up clutter before it runs.
Premium pick: Dreame L40 Ultra. For large, multi-story homes with heavy shedding and mixed floors — the longest runtime, biggest dust bag, four stored maps, and the most automated dock here, at a typical price that's often barely more than the mid-range competition. Budget for the TriCut brush: it's the difference between RTINGS' poor carpet verdict and TechRadar's top pet-hair pick.
Best obstacle avoidance: iRobot Roomba j7+. Buy it for the P.O.O.P. guarantee and camera-based avoidance if you have an accident-prone pet or a cluttered home — four independent labs confirm the waste-dodging. Just know you're paying for smarts, not raw suction — and there's no mop.
Who should skip all of these: if your home is mostly high-pile carpet, no robot vacuum in this class truly replaces a full-size upright — owners consistently report weaker deep-carpet results. And if you need mopping plus flagship avoidance in one device, you're looking at a different tier (and budget) than this roundup.
