Okay, let's talk about Bruce (yes, I named my Shark vacuum because why not?). This guy is like that one friend who means well but occasionally walks into glass doors.

First - the GOOD: The suction is INSANE. Like 'accidentally vacuums up small pets' level of powerful. My floors have never been cleaner, and I have two shedding machines (aka dogs) who seem to produce enough hair daily to knit a sweater.

The self-emptying base? GENIUS. I haven't touched the dustbin in weeks. Just press a button and poof - all the nasties disappear. It's like magic, but for lazy people.

Now the BAD: Bruce isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to navigation. Watching him clean is like watching a drunk Roomba trying to find its way home. He'll get there eventually... probably... maybe.

The mapping feature took approximately 47 tries (okay maybe 25) to finally work right. Pro tip: Turn on ALL your lights during initial mapping - Bruce apparently needs to see the ceiling like some kind of robot moth.

Final verdict? Would I buy Bruce again? Absolutely. He's dumb as a box of rocks but cleans like a champ. Just don't expect him to solve any complex equations while he's at it.
