What Pet Owners Need in a Robot Vacuum
For homes with shedding pets, the key features are rubber roller brushes that don't tangle, high suction power (at least 5000 Pa recommended), and large dustbins or auto-empty docks.
Look for models with specialized pet hair pickup modes and brush designs that actively prevent tangling. Some models like the iRobot Roomba j-series have dual rubber extractors specifically designed for pet hair.
Auto-empty docking stations are particularly valuable for pet owners - they prevent the need to empty the dustbin after every cleaning session, even in high-shedding households.
