I present to your attention a ranking of the 7 best robot vacuum cleaners for cleaning animal hair in 2020. In terms of functionality, such robots do not differ from all others on the market. Their key features are high suction power and a special turbo brush structure. It is combined with bristles and silicone blades on a single shaft, which minimizes winding of the collected wool and the formation of blockages. When selecting models for the rating, I took into account my experience of use and customer reviews. Therefore, both expensive and budget devices, the most popular in our region, were included in the top list. But the first place rightfully went to the most expensive and interesting, in my opinion, model.
iRobot Roomba s9 +
The first place is occupied by the flagship vacuum cleaner of the American company with a unique D-shape for iRobot vacuum cleaners. Robot iRobot Roomba s9 + incorporates all the previous developments and received unique technologies that ensure smart home cleaning. It adapts to the home thanks to the Imprint system, cleaning it perfectly, determining the best cleaning method. Imprint technology not only provides mapping with the placement of furniture and obstacles, but also aims to work Roomba s9 + in conjunction with the robot iRobot Braava m6 floor polisher. Both gadgets work in conjunction, carrying out first dry and then wet cleaning.
The vacuum cleaner perfectly orientates itself in space thanks to the SLAM technology, it can compose and store up to 10 cards in memory - it is important for multi-storey buildings. The model is compatible with voice assistants from Amazon and Google. Control the robot by giving it commands with your voice. It can also be controlled from a smartphone through the iRobot HOME mobile app. In it, the user can specify a room for work, indicate areas that should not be cleaned, and set a schedule for the vacuum cleaner while you are at work. Carpet detection function. The robot determines the type of surface to be cleaned, increasing the suction power when cleaning carpets to effectively collect debris, animal hair and hair.
But the main feature of the iRobot Roomba s9 + is self-cleaning. The docking station is equipped with a dust bag that is 60 times larger than the built-in dust bag. With every charge, and if necessary, the vacuum cleaner sends all the dust there. You just have to clean the bag once every few months.
pros
- Ergonomics.
- Design.
- Autonomy.
- Excellent navigation.
- Cartography (up to 10 cards in memory).
- Suction power.
- Self-cleaning system.
- Convenient control from a smartphone.
- Voice control.
Minuses
- Price.
- No wet cleaning.
- Noisy dust removal from the dust container.
- Cannot be integrated into a smart home.
Price ... The vacuum cleaner, in terms of power, cleaning quality and functionality, surpasses all competitors on the market, but the price is appropriate. There are models that work, no worse, but have a significantly lower price tag, for example, LG R9MASTER. And there are also budget models that are popular with users and are capable of dry and wet cleaning at a price several times lower. Is it worth paying that kind of money for the iRobot Roomba s9 +, decide for yourself, having read the rating to the end.
LG R9MASTER
The second place is taken by a robot with a cyclonic dust filtration system. He also finished third in ranking of the best robot vacuum cleaners with a camera... The Smart Inverter Motor rotates at high speed, forming a powerful air flow in the cyclone chambers. When cleaning on carpets, along walls and in dusty places, the vacuum cleaner automatically switches to turbo mode, increasing the suction power. A built-in electric motor inside the Power Drive Nozzle spins the brush to efficiently pick up debris, dust and hair from a variety of surfaces. The collected waste goes through 5 stages of filtration - a mesh filter, 2 cyclones, a pre-filter and a HEPA filter. They are all removable and easy to clean. The dust container has a volume of 0.6 liters and is easy to clean. Management is carried out from a smartphone. By functionality LG R9MASTER practically not inferior to the leader of the rating. There is the construction of a map of the room, the definition of carpets and especially polluted places, a work plan, virtual limitation, zoning of the room. The only thing that LG clearly loses out on is cleaning in hard-to-reach places. Its height is more than 14 cm does not allow it to drive under furniture. However, the dimensions of the iRobot Roomba s9 +, like the vast majority of robot vacuum cleaners on the market, do not guarantee successful cleaning under furniture. Technicians often find themselves "hostages" of low sofas and nightstands and cannot get out without the help of the owner.
pros
- Excellent navigation.
- Suction power.
- Multi-cyclone filtration system.
- Convenient smartphone control.
- Convenient cleaning of the dust container.
Minuses
- Price.
- Dimensions.
- No wet cleaning.
- May get stuck in chair legs.
- Has difficulty working in the dark.
- The quality of cleaning in the corners.
- No changes can be made to the cleaning schedule (based on user feedback).
- No voice control.
- Cannot be integrated into the Smart Home.
Price ... In terms of suction power, it is comparable to a full-fledged cyclone-type vacuum cleaner and is not inferior to the leader of the rating. In terms of functionality, it also does not lag behind, if you do not take into account the lack of voice control. It is worth overpaying 30,000 only if the self-cleaning function is extremely important to you. If the ability of a vacuum cleaner to clean under furniture is important to you, I advise you to pay attention to more budget models. There is no guarantee that the iRobot Roomba s9 will perform better on this task.
Xiaomi Roborock S5 MAX
The top three is closed by a vacuum cleaner from Xiaomi. Took first place in the nomination best robot vacuum cleaner 2020... Unlike the previous participants in the rating, this vacuum cleaner combines the capabilities of dry and wet cleaning, and it can do it simultaneously. Made in the style of minimalism from Xiaomi, available in black and white. Suction power 2,000 Pa. The volume of the water container is 0.28 l, the dust collector is 0.46 l, an average for such devices. But from the standpoint of autonomy, it surpasses all participants in the rating, it can work without recharging for up to 3 hours. And it is also equipped with a lidar for the most accurate building of a room map and acceleration of the cleaning process. Supports saving up to 3 room maps, virtual limit on the map, work scheduling. I would like to note the convenience of using the virtual limitation for wet cleaning - the vacuum cleaner does not run on carpets. The restrictions are automatically lifted when the napkin is removed. The device is controlled from a smartphone and using voice commands.

A good budget robotic vacuum cleaner that adapts to clean large debris and wool by removing the main brush. Buying it, you save a minimum , in comparison with competitors. But I must say that even in the “native” price segment for the device, there are models worthy of attention, for example, the Navi N600 wins in terms of suction power and autonomy.
