Best Robot Vacuum For Dog Hair

If your furry friends shed a lot, you need a robotic vacuum that can handle it. CR tests robots to see whether they can clean up pet hair, kitty-litter and other particles within a 5-foot by 5 foot area.

The iRobot Roomba is a top rating for picking up pet fur and other debris on floors with no flooring and low-pile carpet. Its dual multi-surface rubber brushes can adjust to different flooring kinds and aren't tangled with pet hair.

1. iRobot Roomba X8

The X8 is a great robotic vacuum for pet hair thanks to its dual multi-surface brushes that flex and lift and also have suction that is power-lifting. It is equipped with smart mapping and navigation, which learns your home and ensures it will always choose the best path to clean.

This robot's only downside is that it does not include a dual-purpose dust collector/charging dock like many of its rivals. You'll have to manually empty the bin in the manner that is required. However, this isn't a major issue, and other budget-friendly robots, like the Yeedi Vac 2 do the identical thing at a cheaper price.

Setting this robot up via the Eufy Home application is easy however it could take a couple of minutes to get it up and running. It's compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice commands.

2. Neato Botvac D-Shape

The robot is D-shaped, unlike most others that are round. This lets it clean corners and walls better than other robots. It also operates in a quiet operation, making it more comfortable to use when you're at home.

This model utilizes patent-pending LaserSmart technology for navigation and mapping to map your home. The Neato app allows you to access the map in a virtual format. It's easy to create and edit zones that aren't accessible.

It comes with four cleaning modes that include Auto, 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 extra-large dirt bin holds more than other robots. It is also simple to recharge the robot and then continue where it left off. The robot can also be controlled by your phone, smartwatch, Amazon Echo, or Google Assistant.

3. IRobot Roomba X7

The iRobot Roomba X7 is a powerful multi-purpose vacuum that is able to also mop. This robot combo makes use of Imprint Smart Mapping, which will remember your floor plan and cleans rooms efficiently. Its maneuverability makes it simple to reach under tables, couches and carpets, as well as electrical cords.

It's a top pick for pet owners because it does a great job getting rid of pet hair from all surface types. Its iAdapt Visual Navigation system allows it to navigate and follow a path through obstacles. It also comes with two flexible rubber brushrolls for multi-floors which do not clog up like other models.

The battery can last for around 60 minutes, which is short of the 90-minute runtime that we find on other high-end robot vacuums. Its dirt compartment is built into its charging station which is a great feature that eliminates the need for an external dustbin, and leads to fewer recurring costs.

IRobot Roomba® X6

This robot vacuum uses an extremely efficient navigation system to map the interior of your home. It utilizes 42 sets of intelligent sensors to be constantly aware of its environment. It also has the ability to set 4pcs virtual barriers on the map.

It moves between different floor types seamlessly. It can go around furniture legs as well as corners and other obstacles that traditional vacuums would be unable to overcome. It can even vacuum mop for pet hair and mop at the same time!

You can create Clean Zones to send Roomba to areas that are prone to traffic. You can also set Keep Out zones to ensure the robot is not in certain areas, such as pet food bowls. The iRobot app and voice control make it simple to program. The physical setup is easy with just a few steps, and Wi-Fi setup is quick and painless.

5. iRobot Roomba X5

The iRobot Roomba E5 robot vacuum is a good one that can be used on any surface. It does not have the same number of premium features, like support for voice commands or apps-based steering as our top choice from Ecovacs, but it is more compact and has fewer recurring expenses. It has a larger dirt container as well as a longer battery.

It's a bit worse on floors that are not clean than the iRobot Roomba i4, but it is better at removing carpets with a low pile and pet hair. Its suction power decreases when the dirt container gets full and it gets stuck on electrical cords and rug tassels. To clean the front caster wheels, you'll need an appropriate screwdriver. It is compatible with iRobot Home, which gives you access to scheduling options and other options.

Roomba X4 from IRobot

It has a remarkable battery life, as well as a dirt compartment that self-empties. It also 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 navigation and sensor features allow it to navigate obstacles well however it could get stuck under furniture or cords. It can be noisy, especially on high-pile rugs.

In contrast to our top pick, this robot vacuum doesn't have an app, however its user-friendly interface comes with many of the same features, including an in-depth map of your home, as well as the option of setting specific cleaning times and constructing virtual barriers. It can be difficult to maintain, as its brushrolls and HEPA filter need to be replaced regularly. Additionally, its side brush can become tangled with hair from pets. These issues increase its maintenance costs.

7. IRobot RoombaX3

This is a great robot vacuum for floors that are bare. It is well-built and is capable of navigating through obstacles. It also charges quickly. It can be controlled by the iRobot App, Google or Alexa voice-assistants or an external sensor. A full suite of advanced sensors aids it in navigating under furniture and along edges, while Cliff Detect keeps the robot from falling down stairs.

It is great at cleaning pet hair and small particles from bare flooring. It's also extremely maneuverable and performs well with low-pile carpets. It's not as efficient on carpets with a high pile and has more expensive recurring costs.

We prefer the iRobot RoboVac 30C over the eufy RoboVac, because it feels better constructed, has fewer parts that require regular maintenance and charges faster. It also has more sophisticated automation. It is able to automatically empty its internal dustbin into a separate dirt compartment on its dock for charging, reducing hands-on maintenance requirements.

8. iRobot Roomba X2

The Roomba X2 is iRobot's newest robot vacuum, and is the best vacuum mop for dog hair pet hair removal device available. In contrast to older models, it's not susceptible to sloughing pet waste and spreading it around the home (iRobot took footage of this to heart, adding object detection for that very purpose).

Smart mapping allows you to create virtual boundaries that will keep the X2 out of rooms or areas that you don't want it to be in. Easy-to-use apps offer a variety of customization options. For example you can set specific times for cleaning runs.

The menu of the app contains product health information, an owner's guide and advanced settings. This lets you set up different jobs that you can initiate at a single touch or let the machine determine automatically which rooms require more work.

9. 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 tiny bumps and ridges around your home. Its undercarriage has a main brush that collects dirt and hair while it mops and also has places to click when you use mopping pads.

During the testing the robot was able navigate and map itself around the house without much interference from us. It vacuums and mop without getting stuck, and then automatically emptys its trash bin and fills up its water tank.

Jacob Jensen Design has created an exquisite machine that is priced more competitively than iRobot’s expensive Deebot X1 and the $2,058 Roborock MaxV Ultra. The software's niggles and loud rumble of its dock-emptying procedure could put off some, but those who want their bot to be able to do everything will likely find this one a compelling option.

iRobot Roomba X1+

The X1+ is one of the best robot vacuum mop for pet hair robot vacuums designed for hair of pets. It comes with dual multisurface rubber brushes that can remove hair without getting stuck in a knot. It is also intelligent enough to learn about your cleaning habits and schedules. It has a long-lasting battery and doesn't need to be charged frequently. It's 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 others.

The robot vacuum cleaner is also more stylish when compared to competitors such as Roborock or Shark. It has a luxurious appearance and feel and the gaps between the panels are sealed tightly to stop dust from escape. When docked, it automatically emptys the dirt compartment inside. This makes it more practical than other robots that require you to remove and empty the dirt bin manually.
