Best Robot Vacuum For Dog Hair

If your furry friends shed a lot, you require a robot vacuum that can handle it. CR tests robots to determine if they can pick up pet hair, kitty-litter and other debris within a 5-foot x 5-foot area.

The iRobot Roomba is an excellent rating for its ability to remove pet fur and other debris both on bare floors and low-pile carpet. The dual multi-surface rubber brushes flex to adapt to different flooring types and won't get caught with pet hair.

1. Roomba from iRobot

The X8 is a great robotic vacuum for pet hair thanks to its dual multi-surface brushes that can flex and lift and lift, as well as its suction that can lift up to a certain height. It also features smart mapping and navigation that will learn about your home, so that it will always find the best robot vacuum for pet hair self emptying path to clean and avoids stairs.

The only drawback is that it doesn't include a dual-purpose dust collector/charging dock as many of its competitors. You will have to manually empty the bin according to the requirements. This isn't a huge deal, as other robots that are more budget-friendly such as the Yeedi Vac 2, do similar work for less.

It's simple to set up this robot via the Eufy Home App, though it can take some time to get it up and running. It is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice commands.

2. Neato Botvac D-Shape

In contrast to the majority of robots that are round, this one features an e-shaped design. This lets it clean walls and corners better than others. It is also relatively quiet making it easy to use at home.

This model makes use of the patented LaserSmart mapping and navigation technology to map your home. The Neato app lets you access a virtual map. It's easy to create and edit zones that are not allowed to be visited.

It has four cleaning options including Eco, Auto Turbo, Auto, and Maximum. The Auto mode automatically shifts between hard flooring and carpeting and Eco and Turbo let you select between suction power and runtime. The extra-large bin holds more dirt than other robots. It's also easy to charge and pick up where it was when it stopped. The robot is controlled by your phone, smartwatches, Amazon Echo or Google Assistant.

3. IRobot X7 Roomba

The iRobot Roomba X7 vacuum cleaner is an extremely versatile and powerful machine that can also mop. This combination of robots makes use of Imprint Smart Mapping, which remembers your floor plan to clean rooms efficiently. Its maneuverability makes it easy to get under couches, tables and carpets as well as electrical cords.

It's a popular choice among pet owners, as it removes pet hair from all surfaces. Its iAdapt 3.0 with Visual Navigation system helps it navigate and follow a path through obstacles. It also comes with two flexible rubber brushrolls that can be used on multiple floors and are not clogged like other models.

Its battery lasts for about 60 minutes, which is a fraction of the 90-minute runtime that we see on other high-end robot vacuums. The dirt compartment is integrated into the charging station, which is a handy feature that eliminates the necessity of an external dust bin and results in less recurring costs.

IRobot Roomba the X6

With a robust navigation system, this robot vacuum helps in mapping your home and its interior. It utilizes 42 sets of intelligent sensors to keep it continuously aware of its surroundings. It comes with a feature that allows you to put 4pcs of virtual barriers on the map.

It moves between different floor types seamlessly. It can even move around furniture legs and corners that could get the traditional vacuum stuck. It can even mop and vacuum simultaneously!

You can create Clean Zones and move Roomba into areas with high traffic. You can also set Keep Out zones to ensure the robot is not in certain areas, such as pet food bowls. It is easy to program with the iRobot App and voice control. Physical setup is simple with just a few steps. Wi-Fi setup is fast and painless.

5. IRobot X5 Roomba

The iRobot Roomba E5 is a excellent robot vacuum that works well on all types of surfaces. It doesn't have as many high-end features as our top choice, Ecovacs. But it is more portable, and is less expensive to run. It comes with a larger dirt container as well as a longer battery.

It performs better on low-pile carpet and pet hair than the iRobot Roomba i4. Its suction power decreases when the dirt container is filled and it gets stuck to electrical cords and rug tassels. The wheels on the front of the casters can be removed to clean them, but you will need to use a screwdriver. It is compatible with iRobot Home, which gives you the ability to schedule your time and other options.

6. Roomba X4 from iRobot

It has an impressive battery life and a dust compartment that self-empties. It also automatically 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 allow it to navigate obstacles well, but it can get stuck under furniture or on cords. It can be noisy, especially on high-pile rugs.

This vacuum cleaner isn't as advanced as our top pick. However its user-friendly interface has many of the same features, such as an extensive home map, options to set dedicated cleaning times and virtual barriers. It's difficult to maintain as the brushrolls and HEPA filters need to be replaced regularly. Additionally, its side brushes can become tangled with hair from pets. These issues increase its maintenance costs.

7. iRobot Roomba X3

This is a great Deenkee Robot Vacuum - 3000PA Powerhouse for Ultimate Cleaning vacuum for floors that aren't clean. It is built well and does a great job of navigating through obstacles. It can also charge quickly. It can be controlled and scheduled using the iRobot app, Google or Alexa voice assistants, or via an external sensor. A variety of advanced sensors allow it to navigate under furniture and along edges and Cliff Detect prevents the robot from falling down stairs.

It's great at taking small and bulky debris from floors that are not bare, including pet hair. It's also very mobile and performs well with carpets that have a low pile. It's not as efficient on carpets with a high pile and has more expensive recurring costs.

We prefer it to the RoboVac 30C that is eufy because the iRobot feels better-built, has fewer parts that require regular maintenance, charges faster, and has more sophisticated automation features. It even has the ability to automatically empty its internal dustbin into a dirt compartment on the dock for charging. This eliminates the necessity for manual maintenance.

8. iRobot Roomba X2

The Roomba X2 robot vacuum is the latest product from iRobot and is the most effective two-in-one pet hair cleaner available. In contrast to older models, it's not susceptible to running over pet waste and spreading it throughout the house (iRobot took footage of this to heart, adding object detection for that very purpose).

It also has smart mapping that lets you create virtual boundaries for the X2 and restrict it from certain rooms or areas you want to clean. An app that's easy to use, it offers a variety of options for customization that include the ability to set specific times to start the cleaning process.

A handy menu in the app offers health information, a user's guide and advanced settings. This allows you to program different jobs that you can launch with a single tap, or to let the machine automatically determine the rooms that require more attention.

iRobot Roomba X1

The X1 Turbo has two sturdy rubber wheels that look like they belong on the back of a Tonka truck to help it get over little bumps and ridges in your home. The undercarriage is equipped with a major brush that collects hair and dirt while it mop and has places to click when you use mopping pads.

During tests the robot was capable of navigating and mapping its route through the house with little interference from us. It mops and vacuums without stumbling and automatically empties its dust bin and fills up its water tank.

Jacob Jensen Design has created an exquisite machine that is priced lower than iRobot's expensive Deebot Proscenic X1 Robot Vacuum: Ultimate Self-Emptying Technology ONI, or the $2,058 Roborock MaxV Ultra. Yiko's software niggles and the rumble from its dock-emptying routine could put some people off. However, those looking for a robot that can do everything will find this one appealing.

10. iRobot Roomba X1+

The X1+ robot vacuum is among the most effective vacuums for pet hair. It has dual multisurface rubber brushes which can pick up hair and not get caught in knots. It's also smart enough to know about your cleaning habits and routines. It also has batteries that last for a long time and doesn't need frequent charging. It is powered by the iRobot HOME app and is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. It comes with iRobot Yiko as a voice assistant that is more responsive than others.

This robot vacuum cleaner is also more stylish compared to rivals like Roborock or Shark. It has a premium feeling and the panel gaps are sealed to stop dust from getting out. When docked, it also automatically empties the dirt compartment inside. This makes it more practical than other robots that require you to remove and empty the dirt bin manually.
