Best Auto Vacuum For Pet Hair

A robot vacuum is an excellent option for households with pets, as it can remove hair and dander with ease. Some models also have mopping capabilities.

The iRoborock Q5+ is compatible with self-emptying dock stations and features real-time hazard avoidance technology that works to identify and maneuver around objects. It also scored a 100 percent on hardwood floors during our tests and is quiet and effective.

1. Roomba i7+

The Roomba I7+ is our most advanced robot vacuum. It could remove 82 percent of pet hair, litter and even flour. It works by the Roomba App for mapping schedules, scheduling, and no-go areas. It comes with obstacle avoidance technology that recognizes common objects like socks and cables, and moves around them. It is also always learning and improving making it the most advanced vacuum we've ever seen. It's so sure that it will not leave behind pet poop, it offers the "Pet Owner Official Promise" which states that iRobot replaces Upgrade Your Cleaning Game with Roborock Q7 Roomba i7+ if you find it fails to eliminate solid pet waste.

The i7+ has the same circular design as the other Roomba models, with an oblong black divot in the center that houses its navigation camera. The i7's base+ is slightly higher than earlier Roomba models as it houses the self-emptying bin. The start button has a LED ring that is lit up white when cleaning, red when charging and blue when connected to Wi-Fi.

The i7+ performed admirably on all kinds of flooring, including low-pile carpet. It was less likely to be stuck than the previous models and it took fur (and the clumps that come with it) easily. The i7+ comes with a Clean Base power cord and two bags for disposal as well as a virtual wall and an extra filter.

The i7+ registered 77 decibels both in high and quiet modes. This is more loud than most conversations however, it's not as loud as other auto vacuums we've tested. The i7+ offered excellent suction in both modes even on hardwood floors.

2. Eufy RoboVac G30 Edge

The G30 Edge is the latest budget model from eufy's well-respected RoboVac line. It features the company's dynamic navigation 2.0 technology and BoostIQ to remove pet hair more effectively. It also has boundary strips you can create to keep it from areas you don't want to clean up, like the mess of children's toys or a pile of cords behind the TV.

Eufy robots are known for their elegant designs, and this model is no exception. The brushed black plastic trims on the dustbin and the bottom of the robot complement the bronze concentric circles on top. The vacuum also has three physical controls: a Play/Pause button which resembles an actual CD player button as well as a Recharge button that allows you to dock the G30 Edge and a Spot Clean button. A Wi-Fi status light is just above them.

The G30 Edge is also a remote-controlled vacuum that can be operated using your smartphone. The app displays a map of your house to help you track the robot. The "Find My Bot" feature lets you send the robot an alert that causes it to play an intense tune until it's found, which is great in the event that you lose track of it while vacuuming or if you are unable to reach the controls to find it if it gets stuck in a place.

The battery life of the G30 Edge is approximately 100 minutes. It has anti-drop sensor to prevent it from falling down steep drops or stairs. The robot can also automatically return to its charging base when its batteries are low. The battery can be bought at a cost of around $30.

3. Tikom R2

This 2-in-1 is clever and efficient. It removes pet hair and washes dirty paw prints. It's a bit on the pricey side however it boasts a top 4.5-star rating from its users and its advanced features make it worth the price. It uses a matrix grid to map the area it's cleaning. The real-time object detection allows it to avoid socks and cords. It also has the ability to maneuver through furniture to fit into tight spaces.

This model is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant which means you can operate it by voice. It comes with a large capacity dirt bin that can store up to 30 days of debris. It can be automatically empty when it's full. It comes with four cleaning options, and it comes with a HEPA air filter that eliminates airborne pollutants. It's ideal for busy homeowners who require a convenient and easy way to keep their home clean without lifting a single digit.

The Q5+ robot vacuum is another Roborock product that is efficient and affordable. It comes with some of the same advanced capabilities of the more expensive models, including real-time hazard-avoidance capabilities with front-facing optical sensors. However, it doesn't do as good of a job as the S8 with picking up pet hair from floors, and does a less effective job of sealing off allergens that are fine like pet dander that can escape through the gaps in its bristled rollers.

4. Deebot T10 Omni

The Deebot T10 Omni robot vacuum is among the most sophisticated vacuums available. It has amazing vacuuming performance and comes with mopheads to scrub. It's also fairly quiet, operating at just over 66 decibels. Its impressive vacuuming capabilities and flexible app-based control make it an ideal option for homes with pets.

The T10 is the second generation of ECOVACS' Deebot vacuums, and it has a number of upgraded features. It utilizes an RGB camera and LiDAR sensor to create 3D and 2D maps of your home, which help it to better navigate and avoid obstacles. It also can recognize the shape of furniture and other objects, allowing it to automatically adjust cleaning modes accordingly. It also has an inbuilt assistant, named YIKO. It is able to respond to a variety of commands.

The all-in-one OMNI Station functions as a charging base, water tank, dustbin, and mop pad dispenser. The OMNI Station can even identify and automatically replenish your mop pads when they're empty. The OMNI Station also emptying dustbins into 3L disposable bags that can hold up to 60 days of dust. It makes use of the heat to dry mop pads every time they are used, stopping bacteria and odors from growing.

The T10 has a powerful suction force of 5,000pa, which allows it to pick up pet hair quickly. It also comes with a floating mainbrush that prevents carpet fibers from being pulled up during the cleaning process. I tested the T10’s pet hair-cleaning abilities by putting it over an area rug covered in hair from dogs. It was able to remove the majority of hair from the fibers within two cleaning cycles.

5. Eureka Groove

The Eureka Groove is an affordable robot vacuum that offers decent suction and a long battery lifespan, and works well on different surfaces. It is also simple to use and maintain. However it comes with a lot of recurring costs.

This two-in-one machine is a good choice for pet owners who wish to mop and vacuum their floors using the same device. Its mops are good at removing stains as well as taking dirt off carpets and hard floors. Mops are also excellent for cleaning furniture legs as well as stairs. They can even be used for pet hair. The Groove comes with batteries that last for about an hour in the most powerful mode. It also comes with a power saving 'Low mode that can extend the runtime by nearly two hours.

The mop tanks contain enough water to run several cleaning cycles before needing to be empty, robotvacuummops and the Groove's app allows users to control the operation. The app is very bare-bones however, and can't do much beyond starting and stopping the machine as well as selecting a cleaning mode.

In our testing we observed that the Groove was able to handle a variety of surfaces, from low-pile to high-pile carpet. It struggled slightly with large pieces of material, but was a pro at getting around obstacles and maneuvering. It also did a solid job of picking up beads and sequins, pine cone seeds, and even small hamster bedding shavings.

The Groove has a decent-looking design, and it is sturdy overall. It comes with a combination of brushed and matte finishes and a storage compartment on board for the brushroll cleaning tool. The Groove's brushes are easily accessible by removing the brushroll compartment door, and it can be removed and Robotvacuummops cleaned with the cleaning tool included. The Groove's charging ports, sensors and side brush can be removed to perform routine maintenance.
