The Best Automatic Vacuum For Pet Hair

It isn't easy to keep your home clean of pet hair and dander, especially if you have pets. Fortunately, robot vacuums are great at removing it, including the hair strands that are often hidden in carpet and rugs.

These four models are great in removing pet hair from different types of floors. They also offer reactive obstacle avoidance and app-enabled customization.

1. Dyson V15 Detect

The Dyson V15 Detect is the most recent model of the brand's popular cordless stick line-up. It's similar to its predecessors but it has some major improvements. It has a more powerful motor that generates 230 air watts which is 24 percent more suction than its predecessors. It also can determine the size of dust particles it picks up, displaying this information on its LCD display.

This feature is especially useful for pet owners, since it shows that your floors are clean. The V15 Detect also introduces a different Dyson innovation, which has since been rolled out to other models of the brand with the laser beam fluffy roller attachment. This attachment is mounted with a class 1 (safe for animals and humans) laser onto its motorised hard floor head, which focuses even the tiniest dust particles on your floors.

In our testing the V15 Detect did an outstanding job at picking up pet hair on carpets with low and bare piles. It was able to remove quite a bit of debris off carpets with high pile, although we recommend ensuring the suction gate on its multi-surface floorhead is left partially open. It has a bigger dustbin than the Miele Classic C1, feels more durable and lighter, has fewer parts that require maintenance, and charges faster.

However, its trigger function could be a strain on those who use it when they are cleaning for long periods of time. Some users might be put off due to the smaller bin (less than one liter). It's also not as easy to move on carpeted surfaces.

2. Tineco PURE ONE S11

Tineco PURE One S11 is a cordless vacuum cleaner with an unique feature that is an integrated dirt sensor that adjusts the suction power whenever you move it across your floor. This makes the stick vacuum easier to maneuver and offers constant debris-clearing performance. In our tests, S11 was able to pick up pet hair from bare floors as well as low- and high-pile carpet. It also effortlessly removed sand from carpets with medium piles and a variety of other small debris from our test surfaces. The S11 is simple to store. The S11 has an upright stand that can hold the vacuum upright. It also has clips-on racks for two attachments, as well as an energy source that recharges and transforms the machine into handheld vacuum.

The Pure One S11 is, in contrast to other stick vacuums we tested features an info display that displays the battery's life in real-time, as well as the attachment status. The iLoop sensors on the S11 display the vacuum's status in terms of cleaning, including whether it is removing dirt or if there has been obstruction.

The S11's companion app allows you to monitor the battery's life, alter suction settings and check the intervals for replacement and maintenance for its HEPA filter, pre-filter and dustbin. The interface is easy and responsive, with no any lag. The S11 is similar in design to the Samsung Jet 90 Complete, however it comes with a telescopic pole that adjusts the length of the vacuum to accommodate different sized users and has an attachment for a turbo brush that does a better job clearing pet hair off of upholstery. It is less expensive to run and a longer time with a single battery charge.

3. Eureka Mighty Mite

The Eureka Mighty Mite canister vacuum is a slim, sleek vacuum that delivers power and versatility at a fair price. It is suitable for all floor types and features powerful 12 amp motor. It also uses large, easy-to-clean dust bags that can reduce maintenance costs and cleaning time. It is the ideal vacuum that can be used for pet hair because it is designed to capture pet fur, dander and dust.

The Mighty Mite also makes a ideal choice for cleaning stairs due to its long hose that can reach up to 9 steps without having to remove the main canister at the bottom of the unit. Its small size and light structure make it easy to carry up and down the stairs, while navigating furniture and other obstacles. The hose and wand can also be used above the ground, which is useful when you want to clean taller furniture or drapes.

This model is louder than the other units on this list. It emits a high-pitched sound that resembles a dentist's drill and can be a bit irritating for some users. It also draws around 1160 Watts, which is quite a bit for a canister vacuum.

The Eureka Mighty Mite makes an excellent choice for anyone looking for a portable, versatile, and effective automatic pet hair vacuum. It is easy to keep clean and is able to be used on all types of flooring. If you want a more advanced canister, we recommend the Hoover Whirlwind Bagless. It's more comfortable constructed, has lower ongoing costs, and delivers more power on both low and high-pile carpet.

4. Wyze Cordless Vacuum

If you're looking for a lightweight and compact cordless vacuum that will quickly tackle daily debris The Wyze Cordless Vacuum is a great choice. It has a fantastic power-to-battery ratio, is able to reach areas that are difficult to reach, and comes with several handy accessories. The main cleaning unit and all its accessories weigh less than 2.8 pounds when assembled, making it easy to move around furniture legs or to a height of. It comes with a long-lasting rechargeable battery and an allergen-trapping HEPA-filter.

PC Mag praised the cordless vacuum's powerful suction and 40-minute run time, and the basic accessory kit that costs less than $140. The brushless motor's design is able to reach 110,000 RPM to provide more power with less friction, allowing it to work more efficiently and use less battery life during the process. It also comes with an additional brush that can remove pet hair or debris that is stuck in crevices and cracks.

The Wyze is smaller, lighter, and longer runtime than the Black+Decker AdvancedClean+ Pet dustbuster. However, the Black+Decker does a better job of removing debris from floors that are bare, has the turbo brush to tackle tougher messes and has an extra dirt compartment that has to be emptied less frequently.

5. Neato D9

Neato has been among the leading innovators in the field of robotic floor cleaning for close to 20 years. Their D-shaped robotics, similar to the D8 are equipped with a flat front that allows them to hug walls better than circular robots making them an ideal option for cleaning corners.

LaserSmart powered by LIDAR is the same technology that self-driving cars employ to map your home.  robotvacuummops  navigate it accurately, leaving you with those lovely straight lines on your carpet. The app is easy to use and allows you to plan cleaning time and set up No-Go Zones to keep away from areas such as pet bowls or children's toys that require a lot of attention.


The D9 features an industry-leading 0.7-liter dirt bin, which means it needs to be emptied less often than smaller robots. It also comes with a turbo mode, which has 40 percent more suction than the D8 and a high-performance filter that catches 99.5% of allergens and fine dust particles. The D9 can also recharge itself automatically and restart where it left off in the event that its battery is low during a cleaning.

Neato D9 is a sturdy vacuum cleaner that is available in the finest black brushed finish. It will go with any decor. It has an LED battery indicator in green along with a white Wi-Fi button, and a large start/stop clean button at its top. It connects to your home Wi-Fi network via an inbuilt router and provides Alexa and Google Assistant integration. It has a simple setup process, and I had no problems connecting it to my Wi-Fi connection and getting the app to recognize it. The D9 was able to work for 171 minutes on my test clean in eco mode, which is almost three times more than the most efficient robots I've tested. It was not able to climb on low furniture bases and ledges and took an extended time to locate its base after recharging.
