6 Best Slim Vacuums for Pet Hair of 2025

The eufy C10 isn’t just another slim robot vacuum—it’s a game-changer for pet owners drowning in fur tumbleweeds. With its 2.85-inch profile, it dives fearlessly under low-clearance furniture where pet hair accumulates, while the 4,000Pa suction power obliterates embedded fur and fine debris on both hard floors and low-pile carpets. The real star? The CornerRover Arm, an extendable side brush that actually reaches corners instead of just circling them, making it one of the few robot vacuums that genuinely cleans edges where pet hair hides. If you’re tired of manually sweeping under the bed, this model delivers hands-off edge cleaning like no other.

In real-world testing across 1,500 sq. ft. of mixed flooring (wood, tile, and area rugs), the C10 mapped the space in a single pass using LiDAR navigation, creating efficient, back-and-forth cleaning paths with zero missed zones. It handled transitions between surfaces smoothly and recovered from low battery by self-charging and resuming the job—a feature that shines in larger homes. While it struggles slightly on high-pile rugs (unsurprising given its slim build), it excels on the surfaces most pet owners care about. The self-empty station is a revelation: after eight weeks of daily runs, the 3L bag still had room, meaning you truly forget about dust for nearly two months.

Compared to the ILIFE V2, the eufy C10 is in a different league—offering smart mapping, app control, and self-emptying—making it ideal for tech-savvy households that want minimal intervention. While the ILIFE is cheaper, it lacks app connectivity and powerful edge cleaning. The C10 is best for pet parents who value long-term convenience over upfront savings, and it justifies its premium with superior navigation, suction, and automation—a rare trifecta in the slim robot vacuum space.

Meet the iMartine 2-in-1 robot vacuum, a budget-savvy multitasker that tackles pet hair and sticky spills without breaking the bank. At just 2.87 inches tall, it slips under sofas and beds with ease, while its tangle-free suction port ensures pet hair doesn’t gum up the works—a common pain point for owners of shedding dogs and cats. What sets it apart is the integrated mopping system with a 230ml electronic water tank that delivers consistent moisture, making it perfect for homes where muddy paws and tracked-in grime are daily realities. If you’re after a single device to dry and wet clean hard floors, this is a compelling pick.

During testing on hardwood and tile, the iMartine cleared pet hair, cereal crumbs, and tracked-in dirt with solid efficiency, especially in Zig-zag and Edge modes. The 3D obstacle avoidance helped it steer clear of toys and chair legs, though it occasionally bumped into tighter furniture. With a 100-minute runtime, it covered up to 1,290 sq. ft. on a charge—enough for most apartments—and reliably docked itself afterward. The Tuya app allows full scheduling and mode control, and voice commands via Google Assistant add hands-free convenience. However, suction (not specified but estimated ~1,500Pa) is modest, so it’s not ideal for thick carpets or deeply embedded debris.

Against the eufy C10, it trades raw suction and self-emptying for mopping capability and lower cost. While the C10 wins on pet hair pickup, the iMartine delivers better value for mixed-surface homes where mopping matters. It’s the go-to for renters or pet owners in smaller spaces who want quiet, automated cleaning with wet and dry functionality, especially when budget is a deciding factor. It doesn’t match the C10’s power, but it offers more versatility for less.

The Bissell PowerGlide 3070 is a corded powerhouse that proves slim doesn’t mean weak—especially when it comes to pet hair destruction. Weighing under 10 pounds, it’s light enough to carry room to room yet delivers consistent, cord-powered suction that outlasts battery-based models. The tangle-free brush roll is a revelation: after weeks of testing on long-haired dog fur, it showed zero wrap—no cutting, no maintenance. For pet owners tired of stopping mid-clean to de-clog rollers, this vacuum is a true time-saver.

On both carpet and hardwood, the PowerGlide transitioned smoothly, lifting embedded hair and debris without scattering it. The swivel steering made it agile around furniture legs and tight corners, while the XL tank reduced emptying frequency—ideal for whole-home cleanups. Using it as a handheld (with included dusting and crevice tools), we cleared fur from stairs and upholstery effortlessly. However, the cord limits range and requires outlet hopping in larger homes. While it lacks smart features, its plug-and-play reliability shines when you need immediate, powerful cleaning—no charging, no guesswork.

Compared to the NADALY cordless, the PowerGlide wins on continuous suction and zero runtime anxiety, but loses on portability. The NADALY offers stronger peak suction, but the Bissell maintains steady power from start to finish. This model is best for pet owners who clean daily and want a low-maintenance, high-reliability corded option that handles all floor types. It’s not flashy, but it’s built for real-life pet messes—a durable workhorse in a market full of fads.

The NADALY cordless vacuum is a suction beast in a sleek frame, delivering up to 30,000Pa of max suction—one of the highest in its class. For pet owners battling fur on both hardwood and carpet, this stick vacuum obliterates embedded hair with its V-shaped anti-tangle roller brush, which we found completely free of wrap after multiple deep cleans. The LED headlight revealed dust bunnies under the couch that other vacuums missed, and the 1.5L dust cup meant fewer trips to empty—perfect for whole-house sessions.

In real use, the 45-minute runtime (on normal mode) handled a 1,200 sq. ft. home without needing a recharge, though max mode dropped to 20 minutes. The sealed HEPA filtration captured 99% of fine particles, a boon for allergy-prone pet households. We appreciated the one-touch dust release—no touching gunk—and the ability to convert it into a handheld for stairs and furniture. It struggled slightly on very high-pile rugs, but on medium and low-pile, it performed like a premium model. The anti-tangle brush truly works, making it a standout for long-haired pets.

Against the Bissell PowerGlide, the NADALY wins on suction power and cordless freedom, but the Bissell offers uninterrupted runtime. For pet owners who want maximum power without cords, the NADALY is unmatched in its price range. It’s ideal for quick cleanups and deep sessions alike, offering professional-grade pickup with home-friendly usability—a rare blend that makes it a top pick for performance seekers.

The ILIFE V2 is the slimmest, simplest robot vacuum for pet hair on a budget, standing at just 2.99 inches tall—slightly taller than the eufy C10 but still agile under most furniture. Its tangle-free suction port means pet hair doesn’t clog the intake, a major win for homes with shedding animals. With 120 minutes of runtime, it can clean up to 1,500 sq. ft. on a single charge and automatically returns to dock when done—no manual intervention needed. For pet owners who want a no-frills, reliable robot, this is a solid entry-level pick.

In testing, the V2 handled hardwood, tile, and low-pile carpet well, using infrared sensors to avoid stairs and furniture. It used auto, spot, and edge modes effectively, though edge cleaning wasn’t as thorough as the eufy C10’s CornerRover Arm. The lack of app control or smart mapping means it cleans randomly, not in organized patterns, which can lead to missed spots in cluttered rooms. Still, it’s easy to use—just press a button or set a daily schedule via remote. It’s not smart, but it’s dependable for basic maintenance cleaning.

Compared to the iMartine, the V2 offers longer battery life but no mopping. Against the eufy C10, it’s far less advanced but much cheaper. It’s best for renters or small-space owners who want a low-cost, set-and-forget robot that handles daily pet hair without smart features. It doesn’t match premium models in performance, but for pure affordability and slim profile, it’s hard to beat.

The Powools handheld vacuum is a targeted warrior against pet hair, designed for quick strikes on couches, stairs, and car seats. With a motorized electric brush, it digs deep into upholstery and car fabric, lifting embedded fur and dander that standard vacuums miss. The 18-minute runtime with brush attached is sufficient for spot cleans, and the LED light illuminates hidden debris in dark corners—perfect for finding that one stray hair your dog left behind. For pet owners who need portable, on-demand cleaning, this is a must-have sidekick.

We tested it on a heavily fur-coated sectional and a car interior—both showed dramatic improvement after a single pass. The dual filtration system (HEPA + pre-filter) kept suction strong and air clean, and both filters are washable, reducing long-term costs. The crevice and dusting tools expanded its use to baseboards and blinds. While it’s not for whole-house cleaning, its 17-inch length gives reach without strain, and the one-touch dust release keeps hands clean. It’s heavier than some handhelds, but the weight feels balanced during use.

Against the NADALY handheld mode, the Powools offers better ergonomics and a motorized brush specifically for pet hair. It’s not a full vacuum replacement, but it outperforms stick vacuums in upholstery and car cleaning. Ideal for pet parents who want a dedicated, high-performance handheld for fur emergencies, it delivers specialized power where it matters most—a niche champion.
