It's also adept at navigating uneven floors and comes with a robust application that lets you send the robot vacuum to specific rooms or set up no-go zones.

This model that is affordable excels on hardwood, tile and low-pile carpeting. It's also self-charging, and comes with an app that allows you to pinpoint spots that need to be cleaned.

1. Roomba j7+ from iRobot

The iRobot J7+ is the most effective robot OKP 3800Pa Robotic Vacuum Cleaner with Laser Navigation to tackle pet hair when you have a dog or cat in your household. It has some neat features that will help it remove the mess that is left by your furry friend. It has multiple sensors that identify your home and learn its layout to make cleaning more thorough. Its dual brushes for side-sweeping and underside assist in removing dirt and cat litter which makes your floors look gorgeous after the cleaning is done. The drop-proofing technology helps it avoid tumbling down stairs and other hazards.

The j7+ comes with an optical sensor on the front that lets it avoid and detect objects. The robot will avoid cords, furniture legs and other things on your floor. It still bumped into some things in our tests, but it's an enormous improvement over the previous model. It's also designed to recognize all kinds of pet waste and iRobot promises that future updates will allow it to avoid even more types.

This robot is noisy, with its motor producing 60 to 70 decibels. It's louder than many other models we tested, but it's a much quieter than a conventional vacuum. It comes with a large dust container, so you won't need to empty it as frequently as other models.

The j7+ is unable to climb the high pile carpets. It can, however, easily pick up pet hair, larger debris like sand and cat litter or clumps. Its amazing ultra-clean mode digs deeper into carpets by 30 percent to get rid of embedded hair and dirt.

2. Eufy RoboVac G30 Edge

The G30 Edge is an excellent option for hair loss, even though it does not come with all the bells and whistles that come with higher-end models. It utilizes smart Dynamic Navigation 2.0 technology and dual gyroscopes that create an logical cleaning path that eliminates missed spots. It's also extremely powerful with the capacity of 2,000 Pa, which was enough to handle pet hair and other particles on both hardwood floors and carpets.

During the first cleaning after the first one, the G30 Edge creates an app map of your floorplan, which you can see in the app together with the square footage as well as the run time. The app allows you to control the vacuum remotely and create specific routines and schedules. You can even program no-clean zones.

In our tests, the G30 Edge rolled over the power strip along the wall and into my dog's food and water dishes. The mapping feature doesn't allow you to define virtual boundaries or mark out rooms. Use the magnetic tape that came with the unit to mark the areas you don't wish it to access.

You'll also need a reliable network at home to operate the G30 Edge. The EufyHome mobile application is used to manage the smart home devices of the company. It's a simple app, but it has several useful features, such as auto-return, which allows the vacuum to return to the dock when the battery is running low. It also comes with a three-dot menu which lets you access more advanced settings, including an sensitivity setting that lets you adjust the degree to which the G30 Edge tackles pet hair and other messes.

3. Neato Botvac D-Shape

Neato Botvac Connected's D-shaped base and Robotvacuummops patented swivel feature, an industry first that lets it clean corners and edges more effectively than other robot vacuums. It is easy to schedule and control with your smartphone or home assistant, such as Amazon Echo.

The robot vacuums floors with no carpet very well, capturing pet hair and other small particles with no difficulty. It's less impressive on low-pile carpet however it still picks up the majority of dirt and big debris. It's not able navigate over stairs, so it may be unable to reach certain areas of your home. The robot can also get caught in exposed electrical cords, and it can remove lamp cords from tables.

A redesigned spiral combo brush is designed to help it maintain its effectiveness over time. Another feature that is great is No-Go lines, which let you draw virtual boundaries that keep the robot out of certain areas, such as the area where your pet's bowls or delicate decor. Similar to the Roborock S6 MaxV, though that robot's application allows you to draw diagonal lines.

This vacuum has a remote and power button, as well as LED lights that indicate the status of its battery and the charging status. It takes 2 hours to charge, and its battery lasts on average 90 minutes before it is automatically returned to the charging base for refilling.

It has many features to keep track, including an automatic schedule feature, multiple cleaning modes as well as a range of smart integrations that work with Alexa and Google Assistant as well as other home automation systems. It comes with a built-in camera that lets you see the status of your robot vacuum cleaner from anywhere.

You might want to consider a self-emptying robot bin if you don't want to handle a bin that is stuffed with pet hair or other debris. These types of models automatically empty the debris into a bag or bin, which needs to be empty every 60 days. These models are more expensive than standard robots, but they can help you avoid having to deal with pet hair or clumpy dirt that gets stuck in the filters.

The iRobot Roomba 980 is the most advanced robot vacuum iRobot produces, and is our top pick for picking pet hair from carpeted and hard floors. This model is among the most intelligent we've tested and it makes use of reactive obstacle avoidance technology to stay away from things like furniture legs and toys that your pets might have left on the middle of the floor.

It features a D shape that allows it to reach corners more thoroughly than most round robots. The multi-surface brush is up to 70% larger than the ones on many rival models. Its slim build allows it to be easily tucked under furniture, beds, and even under beds and its navigation system is smart enough to return to its original position if the battery runs out before the house is completely clean.

Like the majority of other smart robots we've tested you can use an app for your tablet or smartphone to change various settings and schedule cleaning sessions. Be aware that sending commands using a mobile device can take a while to register and execute. This is particularly true when you're using Wi-Fi instead of your home's wireless internet.

5. ILIFE V3s Pro

This vacuum cleaner has the most effective sucking of pet hair we've ever seen. It's also effective on different types of floors and comes with a clever application that lets you modify your cleaning routine, set no-go zones (like the edge of your couch), and more. It's cheaper than other high-end models, and it will automatically emptys when it is empty.

This model provides a fantastic value and is easy to use. The huge dustbin can store debris for up to 60 days and the smart navigation system can learn your home's layout to avoid obstacles and avoid pet hair tangles. You can even control it using your voice, and if you want to get it moving quickly you can simply hit the "play" button.

This budget-friendly choice isn't quite as clever as our top dog-hair choices however if you have hair from your pet and live in a tiny home, it's a great alternative. The dual brush that rotates and the powerful suction make quick work of any flooring, including carpets with low pile. It comes with a proactive obstacle avoidance that recognizes common objects like socks or cords and can steer around them. It also has a rechargeable power source and can return to the dock if its battery runs out before it has done. There are some disadvantages. It is one of them that it relies on random, rather than rooms-mapping or navigation, and it doesn't automatically return back to its base or establish no-go zones. It also has a small dustbin, which will need to be regularly emptied. Also the infrared sensors could occasionally trigger false positives or pick up things you don't want it to.
