Best Robot Vacuum For Dog Hair

If your furry companions shed frequently, you'll need a robotic vacuum that can handle it. CR tests robots to see if they can clean pet hair, kitty litter and other debris in a 5-foot-by-5-foot area.

The iRobot Roomba J7 scores the top rating for picking up pet hair and other particles on floors that are unfinished and also on carpets with low pile. The dual multi-surface rubber brushes can adjust to different floor kinds and aren't tangled with pet hair.

1. IRobot X8 Roomba

The X8 is one of the best vacuum mop for pet hair robot vacuums for pet hair thanks to its dual multi-surface flexing brushes and suction that lifts power. It also features smart mapping and navigation, which will learn about your home, so that it always follows the correct way to clean and avoids steps.

The only downside of this robot is that it doesn't have a dual-purpose charging dock/dust collection as many of its rivals that require you to keep tabs on the trash bin and manually empty it when you need to. But, this isn't a major issue, and other budget-friendly robots such as the Yeedi Vac 2 do the similar thing with a cheaper price.

It's easy to setup this Linsar Robot Vacuum: 2-in-1 with Powerful Suction via the Eufy Home App, although it may take you just a few minutes to get it running. It's 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 a D-shaped design. This helps it clear corners and walls better than other. It also has a relatively quiet operation, which makes it easier to use even when you're at home.

This model makes use of patented LaserSmart navigation and mapping technology to map your home. The Neato app lets you access a virtual map. This makes it easy to set up and switch no-go zones.

The machine comes with four cleaning modes, including 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 run time. The large dirt bin holds more than other robots. It's also simple to recharge and pick up where it left off. The robot can be controlled by your smartwatches, phone, Amazon Echo or Google Assistant.

3. iRobot Roomba X7

The iRobot Roomba X7 is a powerful, versatile vacuum that can also mop. This combo robot uses Imprint Smart Mapping to remember your floor plan and keep clean rooms in a systematic manner. Its maneuverability is superb and it can reach under tables, couches rug, electrical cords and rugs easily.

It's an excellent choice for pet owners since it does an excellent job cleaning pet hair from all surface types. Its iAdapt 3.0 with Visual Navigation system helps it to navigate and follow eels on the front of the casters can be removed to clean them, however you will need to use a screwdriver. It is compatible with iRobot Home, which gives you access to scheduling options and other options.

Roomba X4 from iRobot

It has a long-lasting battery and a trash container that automatically empty. It also cleans its docking stations and sensors automatically. It is able to be linked with Alexa and Google Home devices for voice commands as well as to control it remotely.

Its sensors and navigation features make it good at navigating obstacles, but it sometimes gets stuck under furniture or tangled on cords. It can be loud, especially on high-pile rugs.

This vacuum cleaner isn't as sophisticated as our top pick. However, its user-friendly interface offers many of the same features, including an extensive home map as well as the option of setting specific cleaning times and virtual barriers. It isn't easy to maintain, as its brushrolls and HEPA filter require regular replacements. The side brush can become entangled with pet hair. These issues can increase maintenance costs.

7. Roomba X3 from iRobot

This is a great robot vacuum for floors that are not clean. It is well-built and is capable of maneuvering around obstacles. It also charges fast. It can be controlled via the iRobot App, Google or Alexa voice-assistants or a sensor from an external source. Cliff Detect stops the robot from falling on stairs. It comes with a complete suite of advanced sensors that allow it to navigate around furniture and along edges.

It is great at taking small and bulky debris from floors that are not bare and pet hair. It's also extremely maneuverable and is a great choice for carpets with low pile. It's not as effective on high pile carpets and has more expensive recurring costs.

We prefer it to the RoboVac 30C that is eufy because the iRobot feels better-built and has fewer parts that require regular maintenance, charges more quickly, and has more sophisticated automation features. It is able to automatically empty its internal dustbin into an external dirt compartment on its charging dock, which reduces the need for hands-on maintenance.

8. iRobot Roomba X2

The Roomba X2 is iRobot's newest robot vacuum, and is the most effective two-in-one pet hair cleaner on the market. It's less likely over pet waste, which can spread it around your home. (iRobot added object detection to this model after watching viral videos).

It also comes with smart mapping that lets you create virtual boundaries for the X2 and restrict it from certain areas or rooms you wish to clean. A program that is simple to use, it offers a variety of options for personalization, including the ability to set certain times to begin the cleaning process.

The menu of the app offers health information, a user's guide and advanced settings. This lets you set up different jobs that you can launch with a single tap, or to allow the machine to automatically determine which rooms need more work.

9. IRobot Roomba X1

The X1 Turbo comes with two rubber wheels that look like those on the back of a Tonka truck. They help to smooth over the small bumps and ridges in your home. The undercarriage also houses a main bar brush that catches dirt and hair when it mops, and also places where the mopping pads press into.

During our tests the robot was able to navigate and map itself around the house with out any interference from us. It mops and vacuums without getting stuck and then automatically empties its dust bin and refills its water tank.

It's a beautiful device too and was made by Jacob Jensen Design and priced much more competitively than iRobot's more expensive Deebot X1 OMNI or $2,058 Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra. Yiko's software niggles, and the loud sound of its dock-emptying routine could put some people off. But those who want an automated robot that can do everything will find this one appealing.

10. iRobot Roomba X1+

The X1+ robot vacuum is among the most effective for pet hair. It has dual multisurface rubber brushes which can remove hair that isn't caught in knots. It is also smart enough to know about your cleaning habits and routines. It's battery lasts for a long time and doesn't require being charged frequently. It runs the iRobot HOME app and is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. It also has IRobot's Yiko voice assistant that is more responsive than other voice assistants.

The robot vacuum is more fashionable than competitors such as Roborock and Shark. It has a premium feel and the panel gaps are sealed to prevent dust from escaping. It also automatically emptys its internal dirt compartment when docked. This is more practical than robots that need manual removal and emptying of the dirt bin.
