Best robot vacuums for long hair

In its favour

• 30 water-flow levels in the app is the finest control listed here, handy for keeping wood barely damp.
• SmartPlan adjusts suction and wash levels per room, and LiDAR tells carpet from hard floor.
• Dock washes the pads, dries them with hot air and refills the water tank automatically.

Good to know

• The listing does not give a runtime or battery capacity for planning longer mopping runs.
• A 10 mm lift is fine for short pile, but thicker rugs may still need no-go zones.

In its favour

• The OmniCyclone station separates dust by cyclone, so there are no bags to buy.
• OZMO Roller 3.0 refreshes itself with clean water while it mops.
• 22,000 Pa BLAST suction with 22 L/s airflow, the strongest in this guide.

Good to know

• The listing does not say how many days the bagless bin holds.
• Runtime is not stated, only PowerBoost charging during dock stops.

In its favour

• Pads are washed with clean water and dried with 45°C heated air at the station.
• Mops lift 12 mm when carpet is detected, keeping rugs on wooden floors dry.
• 3 L clean water tank covers a home of about 150 m² two to three times, per eufy.

Good to know

• Water-flow levels are not stated, so you cannot judge how finely the mop can be set for wood.
• 8,000 Pa is modest beside the newer models here, and only 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi is supported.

In its favour

• Ultrasonic sensors detect carpet, lift the mop 10 mm and boost suction.
• The mop and side brushes extend to within 1 mm of walls for skirting board edges.
• Cleans up to 180 m² per charge on its 5,200 mAh battery, according to the listing.

Good to know

• No mop washing or drying dock is listed, so the pad needs rinsing by hand.
• Water control is not described, only a 310 ml tank.

In its favour

• The 27 cm roller cleans itself in real time, so it keeps mopping with fresh water.
• The dock empties dust, washes the roller, refills water and dries with hot air.
• LiDAR mapping with iPath 2.0 obstacle avoidance works in low light and under furniture.

Good to know

• Neither water flow levels nor a carpet lift are described on the listing.
• Third-party cleaning fluids are not recommended by the maker.

In its favour

• dToF retractable radar lowers in tight spaces, reaching areas as low as 9.5 cm, according to Xiaomi.
• Extendable mop and side brush reach edges and corners under furniture.
• 20,000 Pa suction and AI recognition of over 200 objects, including cables and socks.

Good to know

• At 9.5 cm with the radar down it is taller than every other robot in this guide.
• The listing does not give a threshold climbing height.

In its favour

• Self-empties after each clean into a bagless base that holds up to 60 days.
• The self-cleaning brushroll is designed to resist hair wrap.
• Recharge and resume lets it finish a whole-home clean after a top-up.

Good to know

• The spec table lists only 60 minutes of battery life.
• There is no mopping function, so hard floors only get vacuumed.
