robot vacuum cleaner for pet hair For Pet Hair
A robot vacuum is a great addition to any household with pets, as it can remove hair and dander with ease. Some models have mopping abilities.
The iRoborock Q5+ is compatible with self-emptying docking stations and has real-time hazard prevention technology that helps detect and maneuver around new objects. It also scored 100 percent on hardwood floors during our testing. It is quiet and efficient.
1. Roomba i7+
The Roomba I7+ is our most advanced robot vacuum. It was able to remove 82 percent of pet hair cat litter, and flour. It is compatible with the Roomba App to map schedules, scheduling, and no-go areas. It has obstacle avoidance technology that recognizes everyday objects, such as socks and cables and then veers around them. It is always learning and improving which makes it the most intelligent vacuum we've ever seen. It's so sure that it will not leave behind pet poop that it offers a "Pet Owner Official Promise", where iRobot replaces your Roomba i7plus if it fails to correctly avoid solid pet waste.
The i7+ features the same circular design as the other Roomba models, but with an oblong black divot at the center of it that houses the navigation camera. Its base is a bit higher than the previous Roomba models, though it has the self-emptying dustbin. The start button has a LED ring that lights white when cleaning, red when charging and blue when connected to Wi-Fi.
We tested the i7+ on a variety of flooring types, including low pile carpet, and it performed well across all types of flooring. It was less likely to become stuck than the previous models and also removed pet fur (and the clumps associated with it) easily. The i7+ comes with a Clean Base, power cord, two disposal bags as well as a virtual wall and an extra filter.
When we tested the i7+'s sound level in both high and quiet modes, it registered at 77 decibels. This is louder than the majority of conversations, but not as loud as other auto vacuums we've tested. We also analyzed the suction of the i7+ in both modes and found that it picked up a lot of dirt even on hardwood flooring.
2. Eufy RoboVac G30 Edge
The G30 Edge is the latest budget model from eufy's highly-respected RoboVac line. It comes with the company's innovative dynamic navigation 2.0 and BoostIQ technology to suck up pet hair with more power. You can also create boundary strips to keep the vacuum away from areas you don't want to clean up, such as an overflow of toys for kids or a bundle behind your TV.
Eufy's robots have always had a mostly refined appearance and this is no different. The black brushed plastic edges on the dustbin as well as the bottom of the robot match the bronze concentric circle that is on the top. The vac also comes with three buttons that are physical: a Play/Pause button that appears to be borrowed from the CD player, a recharge button to dock the G30 Edge, and a Spot Cleaning button. A Wi-Fi status light sits just above them.
Like the other vacuums we've reviewed like all of the other vacuums in our comparison, the G30 Edge can be controlled remotely from your phone. The app displays the live map of your house so you can see where the robot is. The "Find My Bot" feature allows you to send the robot the signal to play a loud tune until it's located, which is helpful when you're lost of it while vacuuming or if you are unable to reach the controls to locate it if it gets stuck under something.
The G30 Edge's battery lasts around 100 minutes. It comes with an anti-drop sensor that will stop it from falling down steep steps or down stairs. The robot will also automatically return to its charging base if its batteries get depleted. The battery can be purchased for about $30.
3. Tikom R2
This smart and efficient 2-in-1 vacuums pet hair well and washes away dirty paw prints. It's expensive, but its intelligent features and 4.5-star user ratings make it worth the investment. It uses a matrix grid to map the area it's cleaning. The real-time detection of objects helps it stay clear of socks and cords. It's also able to move around furniture and get into tight spaces.
This model is compatible both with Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant. You can operate it by speaking. It comes with a large dirt bin that can hold up to 30 days worth of debris. When it is full it will automatically emptied. It comes with four cleaning options, and it has a HEPA air filter that reduces the amount of airborne pollutants. It's a great option for busy homeowners looking for an easy way to keep their home free of clutter without lifting a finger.
The Q5+ robot vacuum is another Roborock product that is powerful and affordable. It has some of the same advanced features that the more expensive models. This includes real-time hazard avoidance capabilities with front-facing optic sensors. It's not as effective as the S8 at getting rid of pet hair off bare flooring, and it does a worse job of sealing in allergens such as pet dander, which escapes through the gaps between its bristled wheels.
4. Deebot T10 Omni
The Deebot T10 Omni is one of the most advanced robot vacuums available, offering incredible vacuuming performance as well as the ability to add mopheads for scrubs. It's also relatively quiet, operating at just over 66 decibels. Its incredible vacuuming capabilities and the flexibility of its app-based control make it an ideal option for homes with pets.
The T10 is ECOVACS’ second-generation Deebot vacuum cleaner, and comes with several upgraded features.

It also detects the shape of furniture and other objects which allows it to automatically adjust cleaning settings accordingly. It also comes with a built-in voice assistant named YIKO that can respond to different commands.
Its all-in-one OMNI Station functions as an charging base as well as a water tank, dustbin, and mop pad dispenser. The OMNI station will also automatically refill your mop pad whenever they're depleted. The OMNI Station also emptying dustbins into 3L disposable bags that can hold up to 60 days worth of trash. It also uses heat to dry the mop pads following each use, which prevents the development of odors and bacteria.
The T10 features a suction power of 5,000pa, which lets it pick up pet hair quickly. It also comes with an elongated main brush that's designed to stop carpet fibers from being pulled up during the process. I tested the T10’s pet hair-cleaning capabilities by running it over an area rug covered in dog hair. It was able to remove the majority of hair from the fibers within two cleaning cycles.
5. Eureka Groove
The Eureka Groove robot vacuum is an affordable model that comes with an excellent suction, long battery life, and works well with many different surfaces. It's also easy to use and maintain, even though it has a number of regular costs and doesn't include some of the cool smart features you'll find on more expensive models.

The mops do a great job of removing debris from hard floors and carpets and also removing stains. Its mops can even be used to clean furniture legs, and they do a great job in removing pet hair. The Groove has batteries that last around an hour in its most powerful mode. It also comes with the power saving mode 'Low' that can extend the runtime by nearly two hours.
The mop tanks are able to hold enough water to enable multiple cleaning cycles before having to be empty, and the Groove app lets you to control the operation. The app is bare however, and does not do much other than initiating and stopping the machine, and selecting the cleaning mode.
In our tests, we found that the Groove could handle a variety of surfaces ranging from low-pile carpet to high-pile carpet. It had some difficulty with the bulky material, but it did an excellent job at moving around obstacles and maneuvering. It also did a solid job of picking up beads and sequins as well as pine cone seeds and even small hamster bedding shavings.
The Groove is a nice-looking design, and feels sturdy overall.
