Best Robot Vacuums for Dog Hair
Unless you have a hypoallergenic dog, aka one that doesn’t shed, you understand the pain that dog hair can be. Not only does your furry friend get their hair all over you, but they coat your home in it as well. To help with this “epidemic” here are some self-operating vacuums that you may want to consider looking into.
Neato Botvac D7 Connected
The Neato Botvac D7 Connected is the first robot to inform you through your smartphone when, how, and where cleaning is needed. It also comes with a “no-go lines” feature where you’re able to draw lines on a virtual map of your home to prevent the D7 from going there. Which is great if you want to keep it away from sensitive areas like pet bowls or beds.
The D7 also has a built-in HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filter. This feature is excellent for those with allergies because it pushes air through an extremely fine mesh that traps the harmful particles like pollen, pet dander, and dust mites that cause allergies in the first place.
iRobot Roomba i7+
Another first for robot vacuums is the iRobot Roomba i7+ that is able to empty itself. When secured to its charging port, the Roomba i7+ can suction the contents of its bin out into a sealable bag. Meaning you won’t have to see, touch, or even smell the grime this robot picks up around your home.
The Roomba i7+ is also compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home. It too can make virtual maps of your home to where you can program areas for it to avoid and track specific cleaning cycles.
Eufy Robovac 11S
The Eufy Robovac 11S is by far the cheapest vacuum on this list, but that shouldn’t cause any doubt in its overall performance. It doesn’t come with all the bells and whistles of some of the higher-end robot vacuums, which is precisely what makes it a great choice for someone on the fence and fears how their pet will react to this new machine.
One downfall is that the Eufy is not the best option for homes with high-pile carpet because it tends to not be able to successfully function on them. On a positive note though, it is known for its lack of noise, which may help decrease and issues Fido may have with it.
Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo 930
Not only can you manage the Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo 930 from the push of a button on your smartphone, but it can be controlled with the simple sound of your voice as well. On top of also having the “no-go lines” feature, the Ozmo 930 can also be programmed to clean a specific area multiple times, with just a simple swipe on your smartphone.
LG Hom-Bot Turbo+ CR5765GD
The LG Hom-Bot Turbo+ CR5765GD is one of the higher-tech robot vacuums out there. It comes with its own app that’s actually useful and user-friendly. With the help of your handy dandy wifi, you can access Hom-Bot’s multiple cameras. For many pet parents, this is a wonderful benefit that you can use to check in on your pooch when you’re away. So with the Hom-Bot, you’re not only getting a robot vacuum but a potential pet cam as well.
Robot vacuums can be life-changing for some dog owners, especially if you have multiple pets or just not enough time to clean as much as Fido sheds. Life-changing may be a bit extreme, but it could drastically improve the quality of life in your home by reducing allergies and stop your home from feeling as if it is overcome by fur.
