A robot vacuum is a wonderful addition to any household with pets, as it can remove hair and dander quickly. Some models can mop.
The iRoborock Q5+ can be utilized with an empty docking station that drains itself automatically. It also comes with a real-time hazard-avoidance system that helps it to detect and avoid new objects. It also scored 100% on hardwood floors during our testing. It is quiet and effective.
1. Roomba i7+
The Roomba I7+ is our most modern TCL Robot Vacuum Cleaner: Powerful Suction Smart Connectivity vacuum. It was able to remove 82 percent of pet hair litter and even flour. It can be used in conjunction with the Roomba App for mapping the scheduling, no-go, and other areas. It has obstacle avoidance technology that recognizes everyday objects, such as cables and socks and moves around them. It is also constantly improving and learning with each run and makes it one of the smartest vacuums we’ve ever seen. It’s so confident about its ability to keep pets out of pee that it offers a “Pet Owner Official Promise” where iRobot will replace your Roomba i7in the event that it fails to properly eliminate solid pet waste.
The i7+ features the same circular design as other Roomba models, with an oblong black divot at the center of it that houses its navigation camera. Its base is a bit taller than earlier Roomba models, however it has the self-emptying dustbin. The start button is fitted with an LED ring which is white when cleaning, red while charging and blue when connected to Wi-Fi.
We tested the i7+ on different flooring kinds, including low pile carpet and it performed well across all of them. It was less likely to get stuck than other models and it removed pet fur (and the clumps that go with it) easily. The i7+ comes with a Clean Base and power cord. It also comes with two disposal bags and virtual wall barriers, an additional filter, as well as two disposal bags.
The i7+ registered 77 decibels both in high and quiet mode. This is louder than many conversations but not as loud as other auto vacuums we’ve test. We also analyzed the suction of the i7+’s in both modes and found that it pulled up a significant amount of dirt even on hardwood flooring.
2. Eufy RoboVac Edge G30
The G30 Edge is the latest budget model from eufy’s highly-respected RoboVac line. It comes with the company’s dynamic navigation 2.0 technology and BoostIQ to clean pet hair more powerfully. It also has boundary strips you can create to keep it out of areas you don’t want to clean such as an unclean pile of children’s toys or a bundle of cords behind the television.
Eufy robots are famous for their sophisticated looks, and this robot is no exception. Its brushed black plastic trims around the dustbin as well as on the bottom of the robot complement its bronze concentric circles on top. The vac also has three physical buttons: a Play/Pause button that appears like it came from an old CD player as well as a recharge button that can dock the G30 Edge, and a Spot Cleaning button. A status light for Wi-Fi is located just above them.
The G30 Edge is also a remote-controlled vacuum which can be controlled from your smartphone. The app shows an interactive map of your home so you can see where the robot is. A “Find My Bot” feature allows you to send the robot a signal that makes it play a loud tune until it’s located, which is great in the event that you lose track of it while cleaning your house or if you can’t reach the controls to locate it if it gets stuck in a place.
The battery life of the G30 Edge is approximately 100 minutes. It comes with an anti-drop sensor that will prevent it from falling down steep steps or down stairs. The robot can also automatically return to the charging base when its batteries get depleted. The battery is available for around $30.
3. Tikom R2
This smart and efficient 2-in-1 vacuums pet hair efficiently and cleans away dirty paw prints. It’s expensive, however it boasts a top 4.5-star rating from its users and its advanced features make it worth the splurge. It utilizes a grid to map the area it’s cleaning. The real-time object detection helps it stay clear of socks and cords. It also has the ability to maneuver around furniture to get into tight spaces.

It’s a great choice for busy homeowners who need an easy method of keeping their home clean without having to lift a finger.
The Q5+ robot vacuum is another Roborock product that’s powerful and affordable. It comes with many of the same advanced features as the more expensive models. It also has real-time hazards avoidance capabilities with front-facing optic sensors. It’s not as effective as the S8 in getting rid of pet hair off bare flooring, and it does a worse job of keeping allergens in, such as pet dander, which escapes through the gaps between its bristled wheels.

The Deebot T10 Omni is one of the most advanced robot vacuums on the market, offering incredible vacuuming performance as well as the ability to add mopheads for scrubs. It’s also quiet at just under 66 decibels. Its impressive vacuuming abilities and a variety of app-based controls make it a fantastic choice for homes with pets.

Its all-in-one OMNI Station serves as a charging base, water tank, dustbin, and mop pad dispenser. The OMNI Station is able to detect and automatically refill mop pads if they’re depleted. The OMNI Station automatically emptying dustbins into 3L bags that can hold up to 60 days worth of debris.

The T10 features a suction power of 5,000pa, which allows it to remove pet hair quickly. It also has floating mainbrushes that stop carpet fibers from being pulled up during the cleaning process. I tried the T10’s pet hair-cleaning capabilities by placing it over a rug covered with dog fur. it was able remove the majority of hair from the fibers in just two cleaning cycles.
5. Eureka Groove
The Eureka Groove robot vacuum is an affordable model that provides an excellent suction, long battery life and works well with a variety of surfaces. It’s also fairly simple to operate and maintain, although it has quite a few regular costs and doesn’t include some of the innovative features found on more expensive models.
This two-in-one machine is a good choice for pet owners who wish to vacuum and mop their floors with the same machine. The mops do a great job of picking up dirt from carpets and hard floors and removing stains. Mops are also excellent for cleaning furniture legs as well as stairs. They can even be used for pet hair. The batteries of the Groove last for about an hour on its most Ultimate Ultenic D5s Pro: Powerful Smart Efficient mode, and it has a power-saving ‘Low’ mode that extends its runtime to almost two hours.
Its mop tanks hold enough water to run several cleaning cycles before they need to be empty. Additionally, the Groove app lets you to control the operation. The app is bare-bones and only allows you to do a few things, such as start and stop the machine, and select a cleaning mode.
Our tests showed that the Groove was able to handle various surfaces, from floors that are bare to high-pile carpets and low-pile flooring. It had a slight problem with bulky materials, but it did well in maneuvering around obstacles. It also did an excellent job at picking up beads, sequins and pine cone seeds and even small hamster bedding shavings.
The Groove is a stylish product with a sturdy appearance. It comes with a mixture of matte and brushed finishes, and it features an on-board storage area for its brushroll cleaning tool. The Groove’s brushes are easily accessible by removing the brushroll compartment door and can be cleaned and removed with the included cleaning tool. The Groove’s charging ports, sensors and side brush can also be removed for regular maintenance.
