How do you choose a robot vacuum for pet hairs?
The benefits of a rolling brush
Pet hairs are often coarse. That's why you should choose a robot vacuum with a rolling brush. This brush is located in the suction brush of the robot vacuum. That's how it cleans larger pieces of dirt and pet hairs from the ground better. This also keeps the suction brush from getting blocked and prevents the pet hairs from tangling up. As a result, the suction power of the robot vacuum remains good and it doesn't get stuck.
Remove pet hairs from carpet
Robot vacuums with a turbo function increase the suction power automatically on carpet. When the robot vacuum makes its rounds, it recognizes where your carpet is. Once it reaches the carpet, the robot vacuum turns on its power function. That way, it sucks better and removes more dirt and pet hairs.
Collect more dirt in an automatic emptying station
If you have pets walking around the house, they leave dirt everywhere. For example, pet hairs, sand, or cat gravel. This means that the built-in dust cup of your robot vacuum fills up sooner. Don't want to have to empty it yourself often? Choose a robot vacuum with automatic emptying station. The robot will automatically return to the emptying station when its dust cup is full. Thanks to this, it'll continue its cleaning job without you having to do anything.
Which mopping method suits you?
Mop with water tank
You fill the built-in water tank and attach the mop to the robot vacuum. The mop will stay wet throughout the entire cleaning job. You just determine whether you want to fill the water tank with just water or soapy water. Since the robot only pulls the wet mop over the floor, it doesn't clean the floor as thoroughly.
Moving mop
Some robot vacuums have a moving mop. This means that the robot doesn't just pull the wet mop over your floor. Since the mop moves back and forth or rotates, it scrubs your floor better. Thanks to this, stains disappear faster. Does your pet walk through the house with dirty paws often? A moving mop will offer a better cleaning performance.
Furniture, steps and the car
Your pet probably jumps into your car on a regular basis, or secretly naps on your favorite chair. Since the robot vacuum only vacuums the floor, pet hairs remain on other places. With a regular vacuum, you can remove the pet hairs from these areas. We investigated what you should keep in mind for a vacuum for pet hairs. You'll find our tips in the advice article.
