Best Vacuum Mop For Pet Hair

If you're struggling with sticky floors or spilled kibbles, a vacuum mop can be a handy solution. These two-in-1 devices come with brush rolls that help to collect up debris and spray cleaning solution to deal with spills that are wet.

It's a wonderful convenience not having to mix the cleaner prior to use or refill and empty the tanks. These models come with many accessories, including a crevice broom and a stiff-bristle tool that can be combined and upholstery tool.

1. Dyson V12 Detect Slim

The V12 Detect Slim is one of the best vacuum mop choices for pet hair. It is able to effectively remove pet hair from a variety of floor types. It's also one of the most affordable vacuum mop models we've tested and is far more simple to use than a larger upright bag.

It is equipped with smart technology, such as a built-in sensor for dirt and an automatic power adjustments. It's also designed to mop hard floors with the Laser Slim floorhead. It also comes with a powerful battery, though users who have to clean carpets should think about the more expensive Miele Cat and Dog Classic C1 with more reliable carpet cleaning.

Dyson is known for its sleek and powerful products and the V12 Detect Slim does not perform to its name. It sucked up fine debris (like flour) and larger particles, like cookie crumbs and oatmeal, with ease in our tests conducted in a living room that was 210 square feet and 73-square-foot kitchen with both carpeting and hard floors.

This model does have a few drawbacks however. The bin must be cleaned frequently, and the vacuum's cord could get caught on furniture or appliances as you move it around your home. It is also not very efficient in removing pet dander and hair from stairs.

The V12 Detect Slim comes with a standard set of attachments that include the Combination Tool, Crevice Tool and Wand Clip as well as the Laser Slim floorhead. It also comes with a Mini Stair Tool that is useful for reaching into corners and other tight places. Like other Dyson products, this one is packaged in 100% plastic and polystyrene-free boxes. It also comes with a digital user manual that can be scanned or visited to read.

2. LG PowerMop

The LG PowerMop isn't cheap however, the mop and vacuum is powerful and aims to be the top of its kind. The cordless stick vacuum is lightweight, features a powerful motor and a battery that lasts for more than two hours. Additionally, it includes a variety of attachments that allow you to vacuum or mop hard floors as well as carpet.

This unit is also an innovative dustbin-emptying tower that will automatically empty the dust bag, making it easy for you to keep your home clean. This model also has an illuminated floor lamp and a nifty display that offers real-time updates. It also has a selection of notification and alert melodies, as well as easy storage for all CordZero mop accessories.

The unit is delivered in a large box with everything you need to get started. Included is a free-standing base station that includes an integrated battery charger, a replacement vacuum bag, a mop attachment, a 2N1 combination tool as well as a crevice tool, Deenkee Robot Vacuum: Powerful - Quiet - Wifi-Enabled Cleaning and an all-purpose power nozzle. There's a second rechargeable battery and four microfiber floor scrubbing pads that can be used with the mop.

The mop attachment is easy to use and is great for removing pet hair off tile or hardwood floors. Simply put a pad on the bottom of the mop and attach it with Velcro. It comes with three cleaning modes that are normal, power and turbo. The app provides usage information, including the duration of each cleaning mode. It also informs you when it's time to clean the filters. The app allows you to set a timer to close the vacuum. The vacuum also comes with an easy-to-use extension wand with telescoping that extends from 20" collapsed to 29.5".

3. Bissell CrossWave Cordless Max

The Bissell CrossWave cordless Max is a floor cleaner that vacuums, sweeps and mop using water and a cleaning solution. Its Ultimate Ultenic D5s Pro: Powerful - Smart - Efficient motor suctions hair out of carpets with low pile and hard floors, while its brushroll head and mop head removes long and short pet hair.

Doss says that carpet compatibility is an important factor to consider when comparing vacuums for pet hair. While a vacuum can be used on carpets, many are not compatible with high-pile and shag carpeting, which is not the case with this model. The vacuum has two buttons on its handle to indicate the floor type it is using; rug or hard floor, and it also features a trigger that can be squeezed to deliver water and cleaning solution to the brushroll when the unit is turned on.

This mop is fairly easy to use, as long as the user is consistently pressing the trigger. It's also quite lightweight and compact even with two separate water tanks as well as a rotating brushroll and a cleaning pad. In fact, it is the lightest of vacuum mops on this list. Even with an entire tank it weighs less than 15 pounds. The tank and trigger are easily removed by pulling apart. This makes it easy to clean the brushes and mop heads.

This mop comes with only one disadvantage, and that is that it is corded, which hinders its usability. The cord is very thin and makes it difficult to reach every corner of your home. It is an excellent choice to those looking for a multi-functional, easy-to-use vacuum that can take on the majority of their daily tasks.

4. Tineco PURE ONE S11

Tineco PURE One S11 is a lightweight, cordless vacuum cleaner that can also be used as a mop. It comes with two cleaning modes, so you can select the one that best suits your needs. It has a Deenkee Robot Vacuum: Powerful - Quiet - WiFi-Enabled Cleaning (you can try this out) motor that provides powerful suction and a long battery life. The smart dust bin can be easily empty and maintained. It also works with LG Power Mop nozzles for deep cleaning of bare floors.

In a recent review, Reader's Digest senior editor Dawn Yanek notes that the S11 has great pet hair pickup, particularly on bare floors. It removes long and short pet hair strands as well as clumps. It also performs exceptionally well on carpets with high and low pile and Deenkee Robot Vacuum: Powerful - Quiet - WiFi-Enabled Cleaning can make a secure seal against the carpet. The S11's brushroll isn't built with anti-tangle vanes, which means it may occasionally get tangled up in long hairs, or clumps of fur.

It comes with a large dirt compartment, which can hold twice as much as the older model. It also has a clear plastic line that shows how full it is. It weighs less that 15 pounds when empty. This makes it lighter than any other mop vacuum we've tried.

This model, like the Dyson V12 Detect Slim has an automatic power-adjustment feature which utilizes a sensor to measure the amount or dust and debris in the air. The cleaning mode is then adjusted accordingly. The machine also comes with an rechargeable lithium-ion battery that can run for up to 70 minutes on a single charge, as well as a docking station that can be mounted to the wall to keep it charged, organized, and ready to use. It's also compatible with the Tineco application, which offers real-time performance monitoring, cleaning reports, and reminders for maintenance.

5. Wyze Cordless Vacuum

The Wyze Cordless Vacuum is one of the most affordable options in our vacuum mop reviews. It has impressive suction as well as a 40-minute battery life in ECO mode and washable filters.

The Wyze like all vacuum mops priced at a low price, sacrifices certain features to make it a bargain price. However, it is still a top choice among budget vacuums. It's particularly adept at picking up pet hair that has fallen onto floors. It's also a very quiet model, which means it won't interrupt your conversations or TV watching when you're using it.

The Wyze as with many of the budget vacuum mops, isn't great at removing large debris and can get stuck trying to get food particles out or even ground. This can reduce the effectiveness of cleaning with the Wyze and cause clogged filters. It is also possible to lose suction while cleaning hair. This can quickly fill the bin and drain the battery.

Doss states that vacuum mops only work on non-carpet flooring, or low-pile rugs. If you have carpets, she suggests purchasing a dedicated handheld or corded vacuum cleaner that is able to tackle them with ease. There have also been reports that the rubber gasket ring on the Wyze has slipped out and caused the vacuum to lose suction or cease working completely. This can make it difficult to open and close the dust cup. This is an easy fix. It's an excellent idea, prior to using the product to make sure that it performs optimally, to check to see whether the gasket ring has been ripped out.
