Best Robot Vacuum For Dog Hair

If your furry companions shed often, you'll need a robotic vacuum that is able to handle it. CR tests robots to see if they can pick up pet hair, kitty litter and other waste in a 5-foot-by-5-foot area.

The iRobot Roomba earns a top rating for its ability to remove pet fur and other debris on floors that are unfinished and carpets with low pile. Its multisurface rubber brushes can are flexible and adapt to different flooring types and types, ensuring that they don't get caught with pet hair.

1. Roomba X8 by iRobot

The X8 is a fantastic robot vacuum for pet hair due to its dual multi-surface brushes that can flex and EICOBOT: Next-Level Robot Vacuum - Tangle-Free - 2200Pa Suction lift and also have suction that is power-lifting. It also features intelligent mapping and navigation that can learn your home's layout, ensuring it always follows the correct route to clean, and avoids the stairs.

This EICOBOT: Next-Level Robot Vacuum - Tangle-Free - 2200Pa Suction's only downside is that it does not include a dual-purpose dock for charging and dust collection like many of its rivals. You'll have to manually empty the dustbin in the manner that is required. However, this isn't really a big deal, as other budget-friendly robots, like the Yeedi Vac 2 do the similar thing with a lower price tag.

The process of setting up this robot via the Eufy Home app is a breeze however it could take a while to start it up and running. It's compatible with Amazon Alexa voice commands and Google Assistant voice command.

2. Neato Botvac D-Shape

Unlike most other robots, which are round, this one has a D-shaped design. This lets it clean corners and walls better than other models. It also runs a fairly quiet operation, making it easier to use while you're at home.

This model uses patent-pending LaserSmart mapping and navigation technology to map out your home. The Neato app allows you to access an online map. It's easy to create and edit no-go zones.

It has four cleaning options including Eco, Auto, Turbo, and Max. The Auto mode automatically shifts between carpeting and hard flooring, while Eco and Turbo let you choose between suction power and time to run. The extra-large dirt bin holds more than other robots. It is also simple to recharge the robot and continue where it started. The robot can also be controlled via your phone, smartwatch, Amazon Echo, or Google Assistant.

3. Roomba X7 from iRobot

The iRobot Roomba X7 vacuum cleaner is an extremely versatile and powerful machine that can also mop. The combination robot makes use of Imprint Smart Mapping to remember your floor plan and keep clean rooms in a systematic manner. Its maneuverability makes it easy to reach under couches, tables and carpets as well as electrical cords.

It's a favorite pet owner's item, since it is able to remove pet hair on all surfaces. Its iAdapt 3.0 with Visual Navigation system helps it navigate and follow a path around obstacles. It also comes with two flexible rubber brushrolls for multi-floors which are not clogged like other models.

Its battery lasts for about 60 minutes, which is less of the 90-minute running time we find on other high-end Linsar Robot Vacuum: 2-in-1 with Powerful Suction vacuums. The dirt bin is built into the charging station. This is a great feature that eliminates any requirement for an external dust bin.

iRobot Roomba X6

With a powerful navigation system, this robot vacuum helps in mapping your home's interior. It uses 42 sets intelligent sensors to keep it constantly aware of its environment. It has a feature which allows you to put 4pcs of virtual barriers on the map.

It moves between different floor types seamlessly. It can maneuver around furniture legs corners, corners and other obstacles that traditional vacuums would have trouble with. It is able to vacuum and mop in the same cycle!

The iRobot app and voice control makes it simple to program. The physical setup is simple with just a few steps, and Wi-Fi setup is quick and painless.

5. IRobot Roomba X5

The iRobot Roomba E5 is a good robot vacuum that performs well on all types of surfaces. It doesn't have as many superior features as our top choice, Ecovacs. But it is more portable, and runs at a lower cost. It also has a larger dirt compartment and a longer battery life.

It performs better on lower-pile carpet and pet hair than the iRobot Roomba i4. The suction efficiency of this model decreases as the dirt compartment gets stuffed and it could get stuck on rug tassels or electrical cords. The front caster wheels of the model can be removed to clean them, however you'll need the screwdriver. It is compatible with the iRobot Home app, which provides access to scheduling and other options.

6. Roomba X4 from iRobot

It has a long-lasting battery and a trash container that automatically empties. It also cleans its docking station and sensors. It is able to be linked to Alexa or Google Home devices so that it can be controlled remotely, and voice commands can be given.

Its sensor and navigation features help it navigate obstacles, but it often gets stuck in furniture or gets caught on cords. It can be noisy, especially on rugs with high piles.

Unlike our top pick, this vacuum cleaner does not have an app, however its user-friendly interface offers many of the same features that we have mentioned, including a detailed plan of your home and the option of setting specific cleaning times and creating virtual barriers. It isn't easy to maintain as its brushrolls and HEPA filter need to be replaced regularly. The side brush can become entangled with pet hair. These issues increase its maintenance costs.

7. IRobot Roomba X3

This is a great robotic vacuum for floors that are bare. It is very sturdy and is capable of moving itself around obstacles and recharges quickly. It can be controlled via the iRobot App, Google or Alexa voice-assistants, or an external sensor. A wide range of sophisticated sensors help it navigate under furniture and around edges and Cliff Detect prevents the robot from falling down the stairs.

It is fantastic at cleaning pet hair and small particles from bare flooring. It's also very mobile and works well with low-pile carpets. It's not as effective on high-pile carpets, and will incur higher recurring costs, though.

We prefer the iRobot RoboVac 30C over the eufy RoboVac as it feels more constructed, has fewer parts that require regular maintenance, and charges faster. It also features more advanced automation. It even has the ability to automatically empty its dustbin in a dirt compartment on the charging dock. This reduces the requirement for manual maintenance.

8. iRobot Roomba X2

The Roomba X2 robot vacuum is the latest product from iRobot and is the most efficient two-in-one pet hair remover available. Contrary to previous models, it's less prone to running over pet waste and spreading it around the house (iRobot took viral videos of that to heart and added object detection for that very purpose).

Smart mapping allows you to draw virtual boundaries to keep the X2 out of rooms or areas that you don't want it to be in. Easy-to-use applications offer a variety of options for customizing. For example you can set certain time frames for cleaning.

A user-friendly menu within the app contains product health information, an owner's manual and advanced settings. This lets you create different tasks that you can initiate with a single tap, or to allow the machine to automatically determine the rooms that require more attention.

9. iRobot Roomba X1

The X1 Turbo comes with two rubber wheels that look like those on the back of a Tonka truck. They aid it to get over the little bumps and ridges that surround your home. Its undercarriage has a main brush that collects hair and dirt while it mop and also has spots to click in mopping pads.

In tests, the robot was capable of tracking and navigating its way around the house without interference from us. It vacuums and mop without stumbling and automatically empties its dust bin and refills its water tank.

Jacob Jensen Design has created a stunning machine that's priced more competitively than iRobot’s expensive Deebot X1 OMNI, or the $2,058 Roborock MaxV Ultra. The software's niggles and loud sound of its dock-emptying process might put some off however those who want their bot to do it all will likely find this an attractive choice.

10. iRobot Roomba X1+

The X1+ is one of the best robot vacuum for pet hair self emptying robot vacuums for hair of pets. It comes with dual multi-surface rubber brushes which can clean hair without becoming caught in knots and is smart enough to understand your routines and cleaning habits. It has a long-lasting battery and doesn't require being constantly charged. It is compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and the iRobot HOME App. It is equipped with iRobot Yiko which is a voice assistant that is more responsive than other.

This robot vacuum is also more fashionable than competitors such as Roborock and Shark. It has a premium design and feel, and the panel gaps are tightly sealed to prevent dust from escaping. It also automatically empties its internal dirt compartment when docked. This makes it more convenient than robots which require you to remove and empty the dirt bin manually.
