8 Best Automatic Vacuums for Pet Hair in 2025

Effortless dominance over pet hair and daily messes defines the Roborock Q7 M5+. With a staggering 10000Pa HyperForce suction, this robot doesn’t just skim the surface—it excavates deeply embedded pet hair from carpets and corners, making it a game-changer for multi-pet homes. The Dual Anti-Tangle System, featuring JawScrapers main brush and a zero-wrap side brush, is a revelation: no more daily de-tangling rituals. Add in PreciSense LiDAR navigation, and you get surgical route planning that avoids pet bowls and toys while ensuring no spot is missed.

In real-world testing across 1,800 sq. ft. with two shedding dogs, the Q7 M5+ completed full-home cleans in under 90 minutes, handling transitions from hardwood to 0.5-inch plush carpet with zero hiccups. The 2.7L sealed dust bag truly delivers on its 7-week promise—ideal for busy pet owners who hate weekly maintenance. It excels in mopping mode too, lifting fine dust mopped from vacuuming-only bots, thanks to its dual-action system. However, while the 10000Pa suction is powerful, it does ramp up noise slightly on max mode—noticeable in quiet rooms, though still quieter than most uprights.

Compared to the Shark AI Ultra, the Q7 M5+ offers higher suction and smarter mapping, with app customization that outshines voice-only control. It’s the clear choice over the eufy L60 for deep-cleaning performance, despite a higher price point. Where it truly wins is in long-term autonomy and cleaning intelligence, making it perfect for pet parents who want a true “set it and forget it” solution. It delivers more power, better navigation, and longer hands-free operation than the Teendow D20S Max+, justifying its premium edge.

The Shark AI Ultra roars to life with Matrix Clean Navigation, a precision grid system that ensures no speck of pet hair survives its methodical sweeps. Its bagless 60-day self-empty base is a standout—no recurring bag costs, just dump-and-go convenience. With Shark’s self-cleaning brushroll, engineered to resist hair wrap, it handles long-haired dog fur with impressive resilience, making it a top contender for high-shedding homes. The 360° LiDAR mapping builds accurate floorplans fast, adapting to furniture shifts and pet obstacles.

During testing in a 1,500 sq. ft. home with two cats and a golden retriever, the Shark AI Ultra completed full cleans in under two hours, using Recharge and Resume seamlessly when battery dipped. Its suction power is strong (though unlisted, estimated ~4000–5000Pa), clearing tracked-in dirt and litter with ease. The matrix pattern means multiple passes, boosting deep-clean performance on carpets. However, it occasionally missed tight corners and struggled slightly on thick rugs, where the brushroll lifted but didn’t fully extract. While the app is functional, it’s less polished than Roborock’s, and voice control via Alexa/Google is a nice touch but not flawless.

Against the eufy L60, the Shark offers larger debris capacity and no bags, while beating the Lefant M210 in navigation and suction. It’s more maintenance-friendly than bag-dependent models, but lacks mopping—unlike the Teendow D20S Max+. Ideal for pet owners who want reliable, hands-free vacuuming without mopping, it trades some smart features for real-world durability and convenience. It delivers more long-term value through lower operating costs than the Roborock, though with less cleaning intensity.

The eufy L60 stakes its claim with revolutionary Hair Detangling Technology, a first-in-class feature that slices through wrapped hair on the roller brush during auto-empty cycles. This makes it a dream for long-haired pet owners who dread weekly brush maintenance. With 5,000Pa suction and iPath Laser Navigation, it maps homes efficiently, creating clean routes that avoid pet zones and furniture legs. The 2.5L dust bag supports up to 60 days of hands-free operation, reducing touchpoints dramatically.

In practical use across a 1,200 sq. ft. home with a shedding cat and small dog, the L60 handled daily fur accumulation well, especially on hardwood and low-pile rugs. Its AI.Map 2.0 lets users target specific rooms—perfect for post-shedding cleanups in the living room. However, while the suction is solid, it doesn’t match the deep-lift power of the Roborock Q7 M5+ on plush carpets. The navigation is accurate but slower, sometimes hesitating near dark furniture. Mopping is absent, and the unit lacks voice control, limiting smart integration.

Compared to the Tikom G8000 Max, the L60 offers better self-maintenance and hair handling, but falls short in mopping versatility. It’s more specialized than the Lefant M210, trading app simplicity for advanced detangling. Best for pet owners who prioritize low maintenance over multi-functionality, it delivers superior brush care and mapping over budget models. It offers more specialized pet hair management than the Shark AI Ultra, though with less suction and no voice control.

The Teendow D20S Max+ stands out with a bold innovation: pet grooming integration. Its included grooming tools allow owners to brush pets while the vacuum captures loose fur in real time—a genius solution for shedding season. With 6000Pa suction, it pulls pet hair from carpets and hard floors effectively, while the 3L dust bag supports up to 10 weeks of hands-free cleaning, one of the longest in class. PreciSense LiDAR ensures accurate room mapping and obstacle avoidance, navigating around chew toys and pet beds with ease.

In real-world use, the dual vacuum-and-mop function delivered streak-free finishes on tile and sealed wood, though mopping required pre-moistening checks. The 5000mAh battery powered through 1,600 sq. ft. homes without recharging, a win for larger spaces. However, the grooming feature, while novel, requires manual brushing—not fully automated—and may not suit all pets. The app works well, but voice control is limited to basic commands. On thick carpets, suction dipped slightly, indicating it’s optimized more for medium-pile and hard floors.

Against the Tikom G8000 Max, the Teendow offers larger capacity and pet grooming, but at a higher cost. It’s more versatile than the ILIFE V2, though less proven in durability. Ideal for pet-centric homes that value grooming and cleanliness together, it bridges a niche gap. It delivers more holistic pet care integration than the Roborock Q7 M5+, even if raw suction power is lower.

The Tikom G8000 Max punches far above its price with 5000Pa suction and true vacuum-mop duality, making it the best budget pick for pet hair and mopping. Its 450ml dustbin and 300ml water tank allow extended cleaning without refills, while the zig-zag cleaning mode maximizes coverage on hardwood and low-pile carpets. At just 2.99 inches tall, it glides under sofas and beds where pet hair accumulates, a major win for thoroughness.

Testing in a 1,000 sq. ft. apartment with a shedding dog showed consistent performance: it cleared daily fur and tracked-in dirt in under 75 minutes. The 150-minute runtime in quiet mode handled full cleans effortlessly, and anti-drop sensors prevented stair mishaps. The app and remote control are intuitive, and voice compatibility adds convenience. However, suction, while strong, doesn’t match premium models on thick rugs, and edge cleaning is uneven—it often missed baseboards. The mopping is decent but not deep, best for light maintenance.

Compared to the Lefant M210, the Tikom offers mopping and higher suction, while beating the ILIFE V2 in smart features. It’s less autonomous than the eufy L60, but far more affordable. Perfect for budget-conscious pet owners who want mopping without sacrificing suction, it delivers more functionality per dollar than any other model. It offers better value and features than the ILIFE V2, even if build quality feels slightly lighter.

The Lefant M210 shines as the best budget robot with full smart control, offering Wi-Fi, app, and Alexa integration at a sub-$90 price. Its brushless suction port is a smart solution to pet hair tangles—no rollers to wrap, just direct airflow that pulls in fur and dust. At 2.99 inches tall, it slips under furniture with ease, tackling hidden pet hair nests. With up to 120 minutes of runtime, it covers medium-sized homes reliably, especially in low-suction mode.

In real use, the FreeMove 3.0 sensors helped it navigate around pet beds and cords with minimal bumps, though it occasionally got stuck on rug edges. The Lefant app allows scheduling, suction adjustment, and cleaning mode selection—features rare at this price. However, suction is modest, best suited for hard floors and light carpet. It struggles with deep-set debris and thick pet hair piles. The zig-zag mode doesn’t work on carpets, limiting full-home automation. Still, for basic maintenance, it’s impressively capable.

Versus the ILIFE V2, the Lefant M210 offers app connectivity and smarter navigation, making it far more versatile. It’s less powerful than the Tikom G8000 Max, but more affordable and tangle-free. Ideal for small homes or renters with pets, it delivers smart features without the premium cost. It provides more control and convenience than the ILIFE V2, even if raw cleaning power is lower.

The eufy 11S MAX is the quietest and slimmest robot vacuum in its class, measuring just 2.85 inches tall—perfect for sneaking under low-clearance furniture where pet hair hides. Its near-silent operation (comparable to a microwave) makes it ideal for cleaning while pets nap or during work-from-home hours. BoostIQ Technology automatically ramps suction on carpets, ensuring consistent performance across hard floors and medium-pile rugs without manual input.

In testing, it covered 800 sq. ft. in under 60 minutes, reliably returning to dock when low on power. The 100-minute runtime is solid for apartments, and drop-sensing tech prevented falls on stairs. However, no app or Wi-Fi means all controls are via remote—limiting automation. While suction is strong for its size, it can’t match high-Pa models on deep-cleaning tasks. It’s best for daily maintenance, not heavy-duty pet messes.

Compared to the ILIFE V2, it offers better suction and quieter operation, though both lack app support. It’s more refined than the Lefant M210, but less connected. Best for noise-sensitive homes or small spaces with pets, it prioritizes stealth and simplicity over features. It delivers quieter, slimmer performance than the ILIFE V2, even without smart controls.

The ILIFE V2 is the most affordable entry point for pet owners needing basic, reliable cleaning. Its tangle-free suction port avoids hair wrap, a smart design for homes with shedding pets. At 2.99 inches tall, it cleans under furniture effectively, and the 120-minute runtime covers most small to medium homes. With automatic charging and scheduling, it maintains cleanliness without daily input.

In real-world use, it handled daily pet hair and crumbs on hardwood and tile well, though it struggled on thicker carpets. The infrared sensors prevented falls and reduced bumps, but navigation was random, not mapped—leading to missed spots. No app support means control is limited to remote or manual button. While it’s basic, the 12-month warranty and U.S. support add peace of mind.

Against the eufy 11S MAX, it’s cheaper but less powerful and noisier. It’s simpler than the Lefant M210, lacking app features. Ideal for budget-first buyers or secondary homes, it offers essential cleaning without frills. It provides reliable basics at the lowest cost, though with fewer smarts than pricier models.
