Best Robot Vacuum For Dog Hair

If your pet sheds a lot of hair then you'll require a robot that can handle the job. CR tests robots to determine if they can clean pet hair, cat litter, and other messes in a 5-foot-by-5-foot area.

The iRobot Roomba is a top rating for picking up pet fur and other particles, on floors with no flooring and carpets with low pile. Its multisurface rubber brushes can adjust and flex to different types of floors and types, ensuring that they don't get caught with pet hair.

1. Roomba from iRobot

The X8 is a fantastic robot vacuum for pet hair thanks to its dual multi-surface brushes that can flex and lift, as well as its power-lifting suction. It also features intelligent mapping and navigation that will learn about your home, so that it always follows the correct route to clean, and avoids stairs.

The only drawback of this robot is that it doesn't have a dual-purpose charging dock/dust collection like many of its counterparts, forcing you to keep tabs on the trash bin and manually empty it as needed. But, this isn't a big deal, as other budget-friendly robots like the Yeedi Vac 2 do the same thing for a much cheaper price.

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

2. Neato Botvac D-Shape

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

This model uses the patented LaserSmart mapping and navigation technology to map your home. It creates a virtual map that is accessible in the Neato app. This makes it simple to set up and switch zones that are not allowed to be used.

The machine has four cleaning modes which include Eco Turbo, Auto and Max. The Auto mode automatically switches from carpeting to hard flooring, while Eco and Turbo allow you to select between suction power and running time. The extra-large bin can hold more dirt than other robots. It's also simple to recharge and resume where it left off. The robot can also be controlled via your smartwatch, phone, Amazon Echo, or Google Assistant.

3. Roomba X7 from iRobot

The iRobot Roomba X7 is a powerful multi-purpose vacuum that can also mop. This combination robot utilizes Imprint Smart Mapping to remember your floor plan and tidy rooms in an efficient pattern. Its maneuverability is excellent and it can reach under couches, tables, rugs and electrical cords with ease.

It's a favorite among pet owners, as it is able to remove pet hair from all surfaces. Its iAdapt 3.0 with Visual Navigation system helps it navigate and follow a course over obstacles. It also includes two rubber brushrolls for multi-floors that are not clogged like other models.

The battery's lifespan is 60 minutes compared to the 90-minute runtime of other top-of-the-line robotic vacuums. Its dirt compartment is built into its charging station, which is a great feature that eliminates the requirement for an external dustbin, and leads to lower costs for recurring expenses.

4. IRobot Roomba X6

This robot vacuum utilizes an advanced navigation system to map your home's interior. It has 42 sets of smart sensors to make it always aware of its surroundings. It also has an option that allows you to create 4 pieces of virtual barriers on the map.

It moves between different floor types seamlessly. It can easily go around furniture legs as well as corners and other obstacles that conventional vacuums have trouble with. It can even vacuum AND mop in one go!

You can create Clean Zones to send Roomba to areas with high traffic. You can also create Keep Out zones to ensure that the robot does not be allowed into certain areas, such as pet food bowls. The iRobot app and voice control makes it simple to program. Physical setup is easy with just few steps, and Wi-Fi setup is quick and painless.

5. IRobot Roomba X5

The iRobot Roomba E5 is a excellent robot vacuum that works well on all surfaces. It does not have as many premium features, such as support for voice commands or apps-based steering, as our top pick from Ecovacs but it is more portable and has fewer ongoing costs. It comes with a larger dirt container and a longer battery.

It performs better on lower-pile carpet and pet hair than the iRobot Roomba i4. The suction performance of the roomba i4 decreases rapidly as the dirt compartment fills up and it could get stuck in rug tassels as well as electrical cords. The front caster wheels of the model can be removed to clean them, however 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 iRobot from iRobot

It comes with a long-lasting battery and a dirt container that automatically empties. It also automatically cleans its docking station and sensors. It can be connected to Alexa or Google Home devices so that it can be controlled remotely, and voice commands are given.

Its sensors and navigation features allow it to navigate obstacles, but it sometimes is stuck in furniture or gets caught on cords. It can also be noisy, especially on high-pile carpets.

The robot vacuum isn't as advanced as our top choice. However its user-friendly interface comes with many of the same features, including an extensive home map, options to set dedicated cleaning times and virtual barriers. It can be difficult to maintain, since its brushrolls and HEPA filter require regular replacements. Additionally, its side brushes can get tangled with pet hair. These issues can increase maintenance costs.

7. IRobot Roomba X3

This is a great robot vacuum for floors that are not clean. It is well-built and does a great job of maneuvering around obstacles. It also charges quickly. It can also be controlled and scheduled via the iRobot app, Google or Alexa voice assistants, or with an external sensor. Cliff Detect stops the robot from falling off stairs. It comes with a complete suite of advanced sensors that aid in navigating through furniture and along edges.

It is great at getting rid of small and bulky particles from floors that are not bare including pet hair. It also works well on low-pile carpets and is extremely maneuverable. It's not as effective on high-pile carpets, and will incur more expensive recurring costs, however.

We prefer it to the RoboVac 30C, which is eufy, because the iRobot is more solid and has fewer parts that require regular maintenance, charges more quickly, and has more sophisticated automation features. It is able to automatically empty its dustbin into a dirt container on the docking station. This will reduce the need for manual maintenance.

8. iRobot Roomba X2

The Roomba X2 robot vacuum is iRobot’s newest product and it’s the best vacuum mop for dog hair two in one pet hair remover available. It's less likely to run over pet waste, and this can spread it around your home. (iRobot added the ability to detect objects after watching viral videos).

It also features smart mapping that allows you to create virtual boundaries for the X2 that will restrict it from certain areas or rooms you wish to clean. Easy-to-use applications offer a variety of options for customizing. For example, you can set specific times for cleaning runs.

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

Roomba X1 by iRobot

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. Its undercarriage features a main brush which collects hair and dirt while it mop and has places to press in mopping pads.

During the testing, the robot was able navigate and map its way around the house without much interference from us. It vacuums and mops without getting stuck, and then automatically refills its water and dust bin.

Jacob Jensen Design has created a beautiful machine that is priced more competitively than iRobot’s expensive Deebot X1 ONI, or the $2,058 Roborock MaxV Ultra. The software's glitches and loud rumble of its dock-emptying procedure could turn off some people but those who want their robot to do all the work will likely find this an attractive alternative.

iRobot Roomba X1+

The X1+ robot vacuum is one of the most effective for pet hair. It comes with dual multi-surface rubber brushes which can clean hair without becoming stuck in knots, and is smart enough to learn your routines and cleaning habits. It also has an extended battery and doesn't require frequent charge. 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.

The robot vacuum is more stylish than competitors like Roborock and Shark. It has a premium feeling and the panel gaps are sealed to stop dust from getting out. When docked, it also automatically emptys the internal dirt compartment. This makes it more convenient than robots that require you to remove and empty the dirt bin manually.
