8 Best Vacuums for Pet Hair of 2023

This story was updated in January 2023 to ensure all recommendations vetted by the Good Housekeeping Institute were current, in stock and accurately priced.

Removing pet hair is one of the toughest challenges vacuum cleaners face. That's because, in part, static electricity makes dog and cat hair cling tightly to fabrics like carpeting, upholstery, draperies and more. It's the static bond that makes it seem like no amount of brushing with a lint roller, sticky tape or passes with a pet hair removal gadget will be enough to remove all traces of pet hair. But a vacuum designed specifically for picking up pet hair can make easy work of the task, thanks to useful features like rubber trim and raised "fingers" that help break static bonds and lift fur from every surface in your home.

In the Good Housekeeping Institute Home Care & Cleaning Lab, we test all kinds of vacuums, including the best stick vacuums, handheld vacuums, canister vacuums, robot vacuums and more. We put our vacuums through rigorous testing that follows industry-standard test methods from the ASTM, the organization that develops the protocols vacuum cleaner manufacturers and other testing labs also use. We apply standardized types and amounts of soil on a range of flooring types, from hardwood to deep pile carpet to vinyl, to find the best vacuums to get the job done. Our custom-built vacuum testing machine also allows us to objectively measure how much embedded dirt each vacuum pulls from carpet, all using the same standardized method. For pet hair testing, we spread down standardized rayon fibers to simulate the fur pets shed.

How we tested and chose the best vacuums for pet hair

In the Good Housekeeping Institute Cleaning Lab, we test dozens of vacuum cleaners throughout the year. Each vacuum model we evaluate is tested exactly the same way, according to ASTM standards. As a member of ASTM International's F11 Vacuum Cleaner Committee, our Cleaning Lab's executive director helps to develop the standards used across the industry to assess vacuum’s performance, ease of use, durability and more.

In the Cleaning Lab, we assess how well vacuums pick up dirt and debris from carpets, hardwood, tile and linoleum flooring. Perhaps most importantly, every vacuum we evaluate gets tested on "pet hair,” a.k.a. fine rayon fibers that we apply to test carpeting in a uniform way. After a specified number of passes, the percent of pet hair pickup from the carpeting is determined.

Carolyn Forte/ Hearst

In addition to performance testing, each vacuum must also undergo ease of use evaluations that include assessing the weight, battery runtime, maneuverability and ease of emptying and using the controls of the devices. Models that are tested in consideration for our annual Good Housekeeping Best Cleaning & Organizing Awards are also sent to consumer testers who rate and provide feedback on the vacuum’s maneuverability, ease of use and more. Our picks are the vacuums that performed best on in-Lab pet hair tests, plus ones with features perfectly suited to tackle stubborn fur.

What to look for when shopping for the best pet hair vacuums

To help any vacuum do a better job at removing pet hair, our cleaning pros recommend giving fur-covered carpets and couches a spritz of an anti-static spray, like Static Guard, before vacuuming to help strands come up easier. Then, there are a few features to look for in a vacuum specifically for pet hair:

✔️ Bag vs. bagless: Dust cups or bags are essential considerations for the inevitable and frequent dumping that happens as you vacuum up after your pet. Bagged vacuums are best for keeping pet hair, dust and debris out of the air when emptying the vacuum, ideal for homes with allergy sufferers. Bagless vacuums are often sealed to prevent debris escaping and going back into the air of your home as you clean, but have to be emptied directly into the trash bin where dust can escape and find its way into the air or back on the floor. Bagless models are great for homes that don't want to re-up on bags periodically. Make sure that the dust cup is sizable and easy to empty, or that the bag is easily disposed of for the easiest post-cleaning cleanup.

✔️ Filter type: Filters not only help the dust from recirculating back into the air but can actually help neutralize pet smells in your home. Look for models with multi-layer filtration that can trap more debris than a single layer filter can. Models with pre-filters and whole machine filtration also offer multiple levels of filtration at different parts of the vacuum to further prevent dust and debris from re-entering your home's air. And if allergies are a concern, HEPA filters are the most effective, since they trap 99.97% of dust, pollen, mold, bacteria and any airborne particles with a minimum size of 0.3 microns (nanoparticles).

✔️ Type of flooring: Many vacuum cleaners come with attachments that are specifically designed for cleaning different types of flooring. Models with brushes that can be turned off or soft brushes are the best option for hardwood flooring as they are less likely to cause scratches than brushes with harder bristles. For thick carpets, rotating brush rolls with stiff bristles help get into the individual fibers of the carpet to get as much dirt and debris out.

✔️ Corded vs. cordless: With a corded vacuum, you’ll never have to worry about running out of battery power, however, cordless vacuums are easy to take from room to room or use in a car. Deciding if you need a corded or a cordless model should be chosen depending on your usage: Do you plan to tote it around the house and outside, or perhaps you're more likely to use it for long stretches of time? If you're leaning toward a cordless model, look for ones that include a second battery for longer run time

✔️ Size and weight: Portability is also an important factor when shopping for a vacuum cleaner. If you’re frequently vacuuming small amounts of pet hair, you may want a handheld or stick vacuum that’s compact and lightweight to quickly suction up tiny amounts of pet hair. However, if you find yourself vacuuming large areas often to pick up pet hair you’ll want a corded canister or upright vacuum that never runs out of power. Keep in mind that heavier vacuums will be harder to carry up and down stairs if you have multiple levels to clean in your home.

✔️ Pet tools & features: Pet hair-nabbing features are crucial, like rubber trim and raised “fingers” on floor nozzles or attachments that help zap static and break the bonds so fur comes up more easily. Tangle-free brush rolls also put an end to clipping long strands of hair (from pets or humans!) that get twisted around the brush.

Is a vacuum with a HEPA filter worth it?

Yes, vacuums with HEPA filters are especially great for homes with allergy sufferers as they trap 99.97% of microscopic airborne allergens. In fact, research conducted by NASA showed that HEPA filters remove almost all nanoparticles from a space cabin. Vacuums with “HEPA-like” filters are less expensive but often are only able to trap airborne particles as small as 0.5 microns, which makes a big difference when it comes to reducing airborne viruses and bacteria in your home. We also recommend sealed vacuums that don’t allow any particles to escape from side vents or any other part of the vacuum are helpful for allergies, as are bagged vacuums that minimize the release of dust when emptying the dust cup.

FYI

We’ve updated this guide with more robot vacuum recommendations, and new promising pet-hair vacs we plan to test.

As any pet owner knows, even if you own a good vacuum, there always seems to be some pet hair around. So instead of asking ourselves what’s the best vacuum for pet hair, we asked something more to the point: What’s the best way to keep pet hair to a minimum in your home?

Any good vacuum—upright or canister, corded or cordless—will do an excellent job of picking up pet hair, on both hard floors and carpets. We’ve tested all these styles, using bagfuls of genuine cat and dog hair, and all our picks have excelled at the task. Some models with “pet” or “animal” in their name come with extra features or tools that help clean hair off a couch or prevent hair from tangling around the brush, for example, and they’re sometimes helpful (more on those later).

That said, no matter how good your traditional vacuum is, you’re unlikely to keep up with the rate of shedding—unless you have a vacuum that can work constantly. In other words, a robot vacuum is the best vacuum for pet hair.

Our pick

iRobot Roomba i3 EVO

This sturdy robot vacuum won’t get bored or distracted, so it’ll do a better job keeping pet hair off your floors than anything driven by a human. The i3 is better than competitors at getting pet hair out of rugs, and its nimble nav system consistently and thoroughly cleans large spaces.

Any robot vacuum can keep up with pet hair, but the iRobot Roomba line is particularly noteworthy because of how durable and fuss-free the vacuums are for the money. The super-basic Roomba 694 or the Eufy RoboVac 11S are fine choices. But paying more for our top pick, the Roomba i3, will get you extra suction, a nimble navigation system, and tangle-resistant brushes that can make the life of a pet owner even easier. (The iRobot Roomba i3+ EVO includes the i3 EVO robot, plus a charging dock that automatically sucks the debris out of the robot and stores it in a disposable bag, which you’ll only have to change once a month.) The Roborock Q5 (or the Roborock Q5+, which has a self-emptying dock) is slightly easier to automate–for example, using Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri Shortcuts–and has a larger dustbin and longer battery life. It’s not quite as good at cleaning as the Roomba i3, though, especially on carpets.

Sizing up the problem of pet hair

According to Cats International, a typical domesticated cat has 60,000 hairs per square inch of skin on its back (and as many as 120,000 per square inch on its belly). Each hair is shed two or three times per year. If you conservatively estimate that a typical cat has about 227 square inches of surface area (that’s a 5-by-12-inch cylinder) and use the lower of the per-square-inch and hairs-shed numbers given above, that works out to at least 27,240,000 shed hairs per cat per year, or almost 75,000 per day.

Even if you vacuum daily, you can see the problem: By the time you vacuum again, 75,000 new hairs are coating your floor and upholstery. If you vacuum weekly, the number tops half a million.

One cat, one living room, 48 hours’ accumulation of cat hair (and other schmutz), picked up by Tim Heffernan’s Dyson V7. A robot vacuum can keep such accumulation under control. Photo: Tim Heffernan

Of course, not all cat breeds are alike—imagine the numbers for a Maine coon—and we haven’t even attempted to figure out the number for a “typical dog.” But the fundamental concern holds true: Most cats and many dogs shed continuously, and few pet owners can manually vacuum frequently enough to keep up.

That’s why a robot vacuum is a particularly useful tool for pet hair. If you run one daily or at least a few times a week, it will keep your floors tidy pretty much all the time.

However, pet hair also has a way of clinging to furniture and embedding itself in thicker rugs—two places today’s robot vacuums can’t reach. At a minimum, you need a lint roller to get hair off your couches and chairs, if not a handheld vacuum (which can come in handy for all kinds of other jobs, too). And if you want to deep-clean your rugs, you need a more traditional vacuum, whether it’s a plug-in or a cordless machine.

Are pet vacuums worth it? What makes it a “pet” vacuum anyway?

Shark Navigator Lift-Away NV352

Any decent vacuum can clean up pet hair, so don’t fret about this. The Shark Navigator is our favorite vacuum overall, and it’s great whether you have pets or not. As a plug-in vacuum, it’s a much better value for the money than a cordless machine.

Dyson V8 Animal

Pet-oriented vacuums aren’t always especially great at getting hair out of rugs, but some excellent models come in such variants, like this Dyson, which has an extra upholstery-cleaning brush. The V8 is cordless and especially convenient, but it costs a lot more than a plug-in over the short and long term.

When a vacuum includes “pet” or “animal” or “cat and dog” in its model name, that usually means it comes with a small brush attachment that helps get hair off upholstery, a brush roll that resists tangling, or (less commonly) an odor-reducing air filter, or some combination of those features.

All of those extras can be useful, though none of them actually make the vacuum better (or worse) at getting pet hair off the floor. Even the cheapest vacuums can pick up pet hair off a bare floor, and any vacuum that’s good at getting dust out of rugs should also be good at digging pet hair out of rugs. Your best bet is to first look for a vacuum with all-around great cleaning ability—such as our favorite all-purpose upright, the Shark Navigator Lift-Away NV352—and then see if the company has any pet-oriented variations of that vacuum (Shark offers a special upholstery brush that you can buy separately).

Although our favorite cordless stick vacuum, the pet-agnostic Tineco S11, is a decent cleaner and a good all-around vacuum, our runner-up pick, the Dyson V8 Animal is better for this particular use. In our tests the Dyson just picked up more pet hair than the Tineco, particularly from carpets. We also found that pet hair was more likely to get wrapped around the Tineco’s brush or jammed somewhere in the intake than with many other models. Plus, the Dyson comes with a mini motorized brush attachment that’s great for getting hair off of upholstery.

One note about tangle-resistant brushes: They aren’t all equally effective. We haven’t tested them extensively, but we have found that the anti-tangle system in certain Shark vacuums seems to make the vacuum more prone to clogging. Vacuum Wars, the best vacuum-review channel on YouTube, has suggested that the brush on the Bissell IconPet cordless vacuum is one of the best (video) at avoiding tangles without causing clogs. All that said, the Dyson picks up much more pet hair than the Bissell, and it’s easy to detangle any ol’ brush roll with scissors as long as you do it pretty regularly.

And here’s an edge case to consider: If you have a lot of hairy pets, like four golden retrievers or a half-dozen long-haired cats, you might want to avoid bagged vacuums. Pet hair stuffs a bag pretty quickly, and the cost of replacements can add up over the years.

What to look forward to

We plan to test several new models from Dyson that offer promising features and accessories for taming pet hair. The new Dyson Ball Animal 3 upright vacuum has the same anti-tangle and comb hair removal technology that Dyson’s cordless stick vacuums use, and includes a pet grooming attachment, among other accessories. We also plan to retest the Dyson V8, which has been updated to include anti-tangle technology, and the new Dyson V12 Detect Slim, which has many of the same features as the V15, our upgrade cordless vacuum pick.

Frequently asked questions

Are bagged vacuums better than bagless for pet hair?

Bagged or bagless has no meaningful, direct impact on how much hair a vacuum can pick up. However, if you have several very hairy pets, bagged vacuums will fill up quickly, and the cost of new bags can become a burden. Bagless vacuums, on the other hand, have lower operating costs.

What is the best vacuum for pet hair and allergies?

Plenty of vacuums are great at picking up pet hair, plenty of vacuums are great at filtration, and plenty of vacuums are great at both things. Several of our favorite vacuums, including the Shark Navigator line, the Dyson V7, and especially the Miele C2 or C3 (among plenty of others), will suck up a ton of pet hair and improve the air quality in your home. If you have severe allergies that cause serious quality-of-life problems, the consensus among experts is that you should choose a bagged, sealed-system vacuum with a HEPA filter. Such vacuums can also be excellent at cleaning pet hair (though their bags may fill pretty quickly if you’re using them to clean up after several hairy pets).

WHICH IS THE BEST VACUUM CLEANER FOR WOOL CLEANING - how to choose the right one

Fluffies are cuties, we love them. But shreds of wool, lying here and there, do not cause delight. You need to buy a vacuum cleaner. And not just what. It is powerful, with auxiliary nozzles, preferably washing - such that cleanliness can be walked with it once.

So let's figure out how to choose the right wool vacuum cleaner. Read the article. We have nine sensible options with photo and video reviews on the review. nine0003

Wool vacuum cleaner key features: 4 indicators

When choosing the best wool vacuum cleaner, there are five key features to consider.

1. Suction force
For cleaning homes with animals, the desired vacuum cleaner power is 500 W or more.
2. Dust container capacity
Garbage quickly fills the compartment. A good vacuum cleaner should have this element of improved quality so that it does its job perfectly, is easily released and does not require constant replacements. nine0015 3. Rigid turbo brush
Leaves lint no chance. Fine wool is sucked in, and long hair is wound around the bristles. Then it is easy to collect and throw away.
Brushes are mechanical (work due to air flow) and electric (more efficient, have their own motor). In the presence of carpet-free surfaces, for example, linoleum, parquet, it should be possible to remove the brushes, since they are ineffective and inconvenient on smooth surfaces. The nozzle can scratch the coating and, sucking, does not capture all the debris. nine0015 4. Narrow furniture nozzle
Wool settles on furniture. And you can't pick it up with a hard brush. Smaller pads with bristles or a rough cloth will gently and gently pick up lint without scratching the polish.
5.Filtration
Filters are used to clean the exhaust air. The most common is the HEPA filter. It retains 99.9% of microscopic dust. When choosing a wool vacuum cleaner that will clean all surfaces better, you should pay attention to models with a carbon filter, which consists of activated carbon that absorbs unpleasant odors. nine0003

Cheaper vacuum cleaners have weaker suction power, but this opportunity is compensated by better autonomy and lower energy consumption.

Upright vacuum cleaners for cleaning wool

They have a number of advantages.

Nothing restricts movement and does not bind to the outlet.

This tandem provides comfort and no back pain, because there is no need to bend over, as with classic vacuum cleaners.

Many upright models are equipped with nozzles for cleaning furniture, carpets, smooth surfaces and wet cleaning.

Filters and small containers do the job just as well as a bulky bag. You just have to clean them up more often. nine0003

Informative article: Upright Vacuum Cleaner or Conventional Vacuum Cleaner - Which is Better: 4 Tips to Help Buyers

Philips FC6168/01 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner

Philips gives a 2-year warranty for the Philips FC6168/01 vacuum cleaner. It is intended for dry cleaning only. Great for pet owners thanks to the TriActive Turbo Electric Toothbrush. It qualitatively cleans any floor surface, including baseboards, from animal hair. Such brushes differ in power and efficiency due to their own motor. nine0003

Five features of the unit:

Among the shortcomings, users identified:

Users also indicated that the model meets the power parameters and perfectly collects wool and hair from all surfaces. nine0003

Samsung VS80N8014KW/EV Vacuum Cleaner

Minimalist and concise model. The absence of wires and low weight (2.95 kg) makes the device easy to use. Compact size 0.35L plastic container releases contents at the touch of a button.

450 W suction power allows you to quickly and efficiently clean any surface of the room. Autonomy up to 40 minutes provides a high-quality lithium-ion battery.

In addition to nozzles for cleaning carpets, there are also nozzles for parquet, laminate, hard-to-reach, crevices and furniture. nine0003

Three-layer HEPA filter at the outlet protects the environment from 99.9% of dust.

When choosing a Samsung VS80N8014KW/EV vacuum cleaner, the customer gets efficiency, comfort and compactness.

Among the shortcomings, users indicated:

But they are compensated by compactness, convenience, lightness, quiet and high-quality work even on carpets with long pile.

Electrolux EER73IGM cordless vacuum cleaner

Its versatility lies in the presence of a portable nozzle that allows you to clean not only furniture, but also shelves, window sills and other objects.

The front light is a special feature of the vacuum cleaner, thanks to which dust residues can be seen better.

The 180° rotation of the nozzle makes it easy to clean under sofas and cupboards. nine0003

Designed in such a way that you can safely leave it upright without any support. The device is guaranteed not to fall.

The easy-to-clean and easy-to-clean plastic container is the signature feature of the Electrolux EER73IGM bagless vacuum cleaner.

Powerful lithium battery allows 30 minutes of autonomous work. And the bright display will notify you when you need to charge.

Cyclone filtration makes the vacuum cleaner work as efficiently as possible. Passing through the two filter balls, the remaining microscopic dust settles on the bottom of the cone-shaped container. This ensures that the outgoing air is cleaned for 97%. The filters themselves are easy to clean, which prolongs their service life.

After analyzing forums with reviews, we came to the conclusion that users often mention four disadvantages of the model:

Despite its shortcomings, the vacuum cleaner effectively removes animal hair, hair and small debris.

Vacuum cleaners with aqua filter for wool

A distinctive feature of these options is a water filter instead of a standard dust bag or plastic container.

The cleaning process looks like this:

  1. dust and debris are sucked into a container filled with water; nine0048
  2. getting wet and connecting, settle on the bottom;
  3. Purified and humid air comes out.

This vacuum cleaner has a number of advantages:

But there are some minor drawbacks:

Vacuum cleaners with aquafilter can collect water. This will help out if the animal knocks over a vase or other container.

Another version of the water filter unit is the washer vacuum cleaner. Its design provides two containers: for clean and dirty water. During cleaning, a small amount of liquid is sprayed from the nozzle onto the floor and is immediately sucked up. This process refreshes carpets and other surfaces. The disadvantage is the difficulty of cleaning the inside of the device due to the complex design. nine0003

Aquafilter vacuum cleaners are the perfect solution for cleaning cat and dog hair. It does not clog, but collects in a liquid that is easy to pour out after use.

Not only pet owners, but also allergy sufferers, having tried the model with a water filter, no longer doubt which vacuum cleaner is better for cleaning wool. The filtration process is designed in such a way that even microscopic dust particles do not get outside with the outgoing air stream.

Washing vacuum cleaner Thomas Aqua Allergy & Family

This model is designed for dry and wet cleaning. Brushes are suitable for linoleum, stone, tile. High-quality nozzles do not scratch laminate and parquet, clean carpets and furniture completely. Slot diffuser included.

Mopping gently removes dirt from floors. The device does not pour water, but sprays and immediately sucks up droplets. Therefore, the coating does not deteriorate, and even more so, no prerequisites for swelling are created. Spilling wine, tea, another “coloring” drink, or spilling food, you can quickly eliminate the cause of stains. Thomas Aqua Allergy & Family leaves no chance for pollution. This vacuum cleaner can even clean windows. nine0003

The indisputable advantages of the vacuum cleaner are 99.99% dust removal and the ability to collect liquids.

The model, according to users, has several disadvantages:

Vacuum cleaner Hoover HYP1610 019

The capacious aquafilter (3.5 l) of the Hoover HYP1610 019 allows you to carry out a full cleaning cycle without even remembering to clean it. Made of durable plastic, there are no dents or scratches from hitting furniture.

Other advantages:

Deficiencies were also indicated:

The kit includes brushes, each of which makes cleaning easy and efficient:

Thomas Perfect Air Animal Pure Aquafilter Vacuum Cleaner

Thomas Perfect Air Animal Pure is characterized as comfortable, powerful and agile. Thanks to the nozzles, it will clean any surface:

There are 2 types of filters included:

With the Thomas Perfect Air Animal Pure vacuum cleaner, cleaning will be of high quality, without undue effort, and even more enjoyable.

Woolen Container Vacuums

Bag vacuum cleaners are not practical to use. They are bulky and heavy, less mobile. Requires constant bag replacement or frequent cleaning as productivity and efficiency directly depends on the fullness of the dust collector. It is inconvenient to clean it, a lot of dust is thrown out, which is unpleasant, especially for allergy sufferers.

An alternative to bag vacuum cleaners - container models. They cost more, but this is offset by ease of use and further savings on bags and filters. The container itself is easily removed and cleaned of the contents. Compact dimensions, high-quality air purification and high suction power are the characteristics that make customers prefer containers with appliances more often. nine0003

These vacuum cleaners are divided into 2 types:

An interesting article: Vacuum cleaner for home - with a dust bag or container? Advantages and disadvantages of 2 types

Philips cyclonic vacuum cleaner FC9734/01

Has sufficient suction power (420 W). The PowerCyclone8 system efficiently cleans the intake air from dust. The dust collector is presented in the form of a plastic container. It is airtight and prevents the backflow of debris and dust.

The violet color of the model is discreet and does not attract attention. Together with compact dimensions, Philips FC9734/01 looks equally interesting in a corner in the kitchen, hallway or corridor.

4 types of brushes are included in the set:

A feature is the ability to adjust the power. You can safely use a parquet vacuum cleaner, because the large soft wheels do not scratch the surface. nine0003

Among the minuses:

But there are much more advantages:

Vacuum cleaner Rowenta RO 6984 EA

Operates within a radius of 8.8 m.

The versatility of this device is that it perfectly removes dust, dirt and hair from any surface and in hard-to-reach places.

A good wool vacuum cleaner has monocyclone filtration that separates dust from the air it takes in. High-quality filters suck up a maximum of microparticles of debris, and keep up to 99. 98% dust.

An indisputable advantage is the saving of energy consumption due to the eco motor. In terms of power and cleaning efficiency, the unit can be compared with 2000 W models, although it consumes only 750 W.

Among the shortcomings are:

An important advantage of the model is the 2.5 l dust container, which is cleaned in four movements. nine0003
