Best robot vacuums for pet hair

In its favour

• Auto-Retract Mopping System lifts the pad to the top of the robot, so carpets stay dry, according to iRobot.
• Dual Rubber Brushes avoid pet hair tangles while strong suction pulls embedded dirt from carpet.
• AutoWash Dock empties debris, refills the tank, and washes and dries the pad.

Good to know

• The listing gives no suction figure in Pa, so raw power is hard to compare.
• Runtime is not stated in the listing, so coverage per charge is unclear.

In its favour

• 30,000 Pa BLAST suction, the highest figure in this guide, for carpets and hard floors in one pass.
• OZMO Roller 3.0 is rinsed with fresh water as it works, and TruEdge 3.0 pushes it about 1.5 cm past the body.
• 15 mm mop lift on carpet, plus hot-water mop washing and 63°C air drying at the dock.

Good to know

• The model number ends in '-US' and the spec lists 110 V, so confirm UK plug, voltage and support before buying.
• Dust bag size and how long the dock goes between emptying are not stated in the listing.

In its favour

• Base empties debris into a 60-day bin and refills the water tank for up to 30 days.
• DirtDetect spots areas with more debris and boosts vacuuming, handy near pet beds and bowls.
• NeverStuck lifts the robot over obstacles and thresholds, and the pad is kept above carpet when mopping.

Good to know

• Neither a suction figure nor an anti-tangle brush is mentioned in the listing.
• The spec lists 120 V and a 12 oz cleaner bottle, so confirm UK plug and support before buying.

In its favour

• Roller brush reverses and the Pro-Detangle Comb flips down to remove wrapped hair automatically.
• Station dust bag holds 2.5 L and only needs replacing every 2 months, per eufy.
• Recognises over 100 objects such as wires, shoes and toys, even at night.

Good to know

• 8,000 Pa is the lowest stated suction in this guide, so thick carpets may need extra passes.
• Only 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi is supported, and pet waste is not listed among the recognised objects.

In its favour

• PrecisionVision AI recognises pet waste, cords and socks and navigates around them.
• Dual rubber brushes plus dual edge-sweeping brushes for hair along skirting boards.
• AutoWash Dock gives up to 75 days of auto-emptying and heated roller washing and drying.

Good to know

• Runtime and battery capacity are not stated in the listing.
• The 13,000 Pa figure comes from the spec table only, as the bullets compare suction with older Roombas.

In its favour

• 25,000 Pa Vormax suction with ultrasonic carpet recognition, according to Dreame.
• Several carpet modes, including intensive vacuum, carpet avoidance and priority carpet cleaning.
• Up to 230 minutes per charge in standard mode from a 5,200 mAh battery.

Good to know

• The listing does not give a mop lift height, relying on carpet modes instead.
• Listed surface recommendation is hard floor, so check carpet mode settings suit your rugs.

In its favour

• Station empties dust, washes the mop, refills water, dries with hot air and collects dirty water.
• 27 cm roller cleans itself in real time and presses down with 1 kg for streak-free floors, per eufy.
• DuoSpiral detangling brushes handle hair up to 30 cm long, and the listing mentions local repair cover.

Good to know

• The listing does not say whether the roller lifts or how carpets are kept dry while mopping.
• Eufy warns against third-party cleaning solutions, which ties you to its own detergent.
