Vacuum cleaner for cleaning pet hair: how to choose the best, TOP 20 models

Dust collector type

Be sure to pay attention not only to nozzles, brushes and filters, but also to where dust and dirt will accumulate. There are the following main types of containers:

It is also important to deal with the choice of a brush.

If an animal lives in the house, then the best option is a turbo brush. It may already be included in the kit with the vacuum cleaner. Alternatively, it can be purchased separately. Sometimes such a nozzle is called an electric brush because of the roller and the electric drive.

Range of models

The home goods market offers an incredibly large number of home cleaning products and they all deserve special attention. I would like to note the famous brand Dyson, which develops models for animal lovers. It is a leading developer of innovative high-tech home appliances worldwide, with products sold in 52 countries. Dyson vacuum cleaners are simply excellent among analogues. They were even allowed to be used by the British Foundation, which helps people with allergic problems, as well as the Russian Institute of Immunology of the Ministry of Health and the Moscow Research Institute of Pediatrics. It is the first manufacturer to develop a vacuum cleaner capable of collecting highly dispersed dust.

So the DC52 Animal Complete, DC52 Animal Turbine models are equipped with a miniature turbo brush without a roller or a turbo brush with carbon fibers, with a suction power of up to 300 W and a multicyclone system and Ball technology. The company also released the hand-held DC45 Animalpro and DC62Animalpro cordless vacuum cleaners with a built-in electric brush.

Same models but slightly different modifications DC37 Animal Turbine and DC37 Animal Complete with Ball technology have a Triggerhead turbo brush. Dyson offers to buy its products for 12,000 rubles for manual models and the rest - from 27,000 thousand, with a warranty period of up to 5 years.

The German manufacturer of vacuum cleaners Miele has developed a model especially for animal lovers. Cat & Dog, modifications of which are included in the S5, S6, S7 and S8 series, have a connector for the installation of a larger Miele Electro Premium turbo brush (SEB234L). The roller has its own connection to the electric drive, which makes it work independent of the set power. And a five-step system for adjusting the brush is rebuilt to suit any length of pile.

The manufacturer has included in the nozzle the illumination of the cleaning area and the fixing stop position in work. Thus, the electric brush stops working if the tube is in an upright position. The rechargeable wireless turbo brush Miele Accu Nova (SAB110-3) on the market of products from the manufacturer Miele acted as an alternative to the SEB234L model, equipped with a power cable with connection to models with a certain type of connector: S 5300 - S 5799, S 812 - S 848, S 712 - S 748, S 612 - S 648, S 512 - S 548. The price of the product on the market is 9900 rubles.

Operating rules

Robots for cleaning pets require special care. New generation devices that work in the "smart home" system operate according to certain rules:

The robot charging base must be correctly positioned. A flat surface is chosen under the base. On the way of returning the robot to the base, there should be no obstacles in the form of furniture or random things.
Models that work remotely must be within range of the home network. Synchronization with a smartphone must be performed according to all the rules specified in the instructions.
Cleaning of models that work with limiters can be started after installing a virtual wall or gluing a magnetic tape.
Do not leave cords, objects that can break, food remnants on the path covered by the unit.
Do not use the dry cleaning device on a damp or wet floor or carpet.

Robotics must be cared for properly.Devices designed for cleaning floors and carpets need systematic inspection and cleaning:

after every second cleaning, it is necessary to inspect the filter and tap it against dust;
the container for water and dust should be rinsed every time after switching off;
you cannot turn on the robot if the percentage of its charge is less than 50;
the central turbo brush is rinsed every week;
side wheels and brushes are inspected and washed every month;
the base is inspected monthly, fasteners and wires are checked;
the base and panel of the vacuum cleaner are wiped with a damp cloth every few days.

> The best recommendation for a robot vacuum cleaner is to say that the assistant cannot be seen or heard. This characteristic assumes the quality of the work.

Choosing a dust collection system

The Miele S 6220 Cat & Dog with the HiClean dust bag developed by the company is particularly different from the conventional “animal” models with a cyclonic dust absorption system. After all, Thomas Cat & Dog XT has a water box filter system and the ability to connect to a filter system in the form of a bag for dry cleaning. Some similar Bork models also come with turbo brushes. Cyclonic dust collection is popular because it uses centrifugal force to settle the dirt evenly in a plastic container. The bags are very quickly clogged with wool, which literally crawls into the smallest pores.

Provided that the vacuum cleaner was purchased not so long ago and the power is quite satisfactory, you just need to purchase turbo brushes. It is even better if there is a connector for its connection, as in the Miele models. If you have a very old vacuum cleaner with a power of less than 300 W, turbo brushes will not work effectively, since the power of the vacuum cleaner will not be able to rotate the roller inside the brush.

The structure is easy to disassemble.Without a suction pipe, a compact mini vacuum cleaner is obtained, convenient for cleaning the interior of the car.

Selection rules

The concept of the best robot may differ from consumer to consumer, depending on what goals they pursue when choosing. For some, this is the maximum power and quality of cleaning, for others, ease of operation and maintenance of the vacuum cleaner, ease of cleaning with a turbo brush is of great importance. For some, the main thing is the price - the lowest or the highest.

Choosing a vacuum cleaner for wool, take into account the following parameters:

The suction power of the appliance is the force with which the vacuum cleaner pulls debris out of carpets. After all, hairballs adhere tightly to their surface, clinging to individual fibers.
The presence of a turbo brush has a positive effect on the quality of hair and wool cleaning. A vacuum cleaner without a central brush only relies on the suction power. On the other hand, a brush, with or without bristles, can tear off hairballs from the coating. Some models have two brushes in the form of rollers rotating towards each other.

Brushes differ in design, principle of operation, materials from which they are made. A brush with a hard bristle cleans surfaces well, but at the same time it suffers itself - often wool and long hair is wound on it, which can be difficult to remove.

On the side brushes, short bunches of pile are installed, which prevent the winding of foreign objects. Modern brushes are usually equipped with various devices, longitudinal baffles, which reduce the amount of hair. Silicone or rubber brushes wrap less, but do less cleaning. Many models of vacuum cleaners have brushes that can be easily removed. They are much easier to clean. For this, special tools with blades at one end are used.

It is best to buy a vacuum cleaner, the main brush of which combines the rows of pile and rubber blades, is equipped with a winding protection and is removed for cleaning.

The battery capacity indicates how long the vacuum cleaner can operate on a single charge. For small apartments, this indicator is not very important, because the charge of most modern robotic vacuum cleaners is enough for a complete cleaning. It is advisable to buy a device with a 5200 mAh battery
Overall dimensions matter when choosing a vacuum cleaner for a home with pets. If it is very wide, the robot will not be able to penetrate into different corners where wool and dust often collect. The high height prevents penetration under beds and furniture with a low opening.
The large volume of the dust collector allows the vacuum cleaner to place as much hair as possible left by cats and dogs. Otherwise, you will need to clean the container during the cleaning process. A suitable volume is 640-700 ml.

Robot vacuum cleaners

Each robot vacuum cleaner has a turbo brush with an electrically driven roller. But sometimes the power is not enough for suction from carpets. It is ideal for everyday cleaning, but the general cleaning still remains with the owner of such a vacuum cleaner. If an animal lives in the house that sheds, then a large dust collector will not hurt, approximately it is 1 liter. And the function that fences off the access zone of the robot vacuum cleaner will be very useful if there are vases, flowers or other things on the floor. Such cleaning should be monitored.

Specially designed robotic vacuum cleaners of the latest models can even disinfect surfaces, killing flea larvae, pathogens and dust mites. Models of this series cost from 15-16 thousand rubles, but the efficiency in work will delight housewives. For example, ROOMY SILVER DOG PREMIUM has a 1 liter dust collector, and a built-in UV lamp disinfects the surface and kills fleas.

Turbo brush

Cleaning the apartment from wool is not possible without a turbo brush. This is a nozzle for a vacuum cleaner with a rotating roller that winds all the hair from carpets around itself.The principle of operation of the turbo brush is approximately the following: the roller glides quickly enough on the carpet, knocking down dust and debris closer to the hole into which the vacuum cleaner is sucked. Manufacturers of such brushes come up with more and more improved designs every time. They change the direction of the bristles, use new developed materials, make the shapes of the nozzles more ergonomic. Before being sent for sale, each turbo brush for a vacuum cleaner undergoes a whole list of various checks for the main functionality, structural strength and safety of the materials used.

But only the method of influencing the work of the roller differs: either it is a mechanical or an electric drive method. And the last option is used more often because of its efficiency in work. As a rule, such vacuum cleaners are multifunctional, and the wool cleaning function is positioned as a pleasant addition for animal lovers.

The complete set of a vacuum cleaner for cleaning animal hair should include:

carpet and floor nozzle;
mechanical type turbo brush;
electric type turbo brush;
silicone nozzle;
beater nozzle.

Supplements from manufacturers

The wireless vertical vacuum cleaners ErgoRapido models from Electrolux are equipped with the latest technology for self-cleaning of the BRUSHROLLCLEAN turbo brush, which can be activated by pressing the button on the nozzle with your foot. The retractable knives will free the roller from the hair, and the vacuum cleaner will immediately suck them in. It's incredibly convenient, lightweight, and the attachments themselves don't take up much space.

There are turbo nozzles for floors, carpets and upholstered furniture, the latter are smaller and each is created with a uniquely thought-out hair removal system, since with a large amount of wool, removing it from the roller is quite problematic. With a high-quality product, the roller can be freely removed and inserted back, there is also a special groove for the blades from the scissors, in order to cut it to remove the wool from the roller.

Some manufacturers have added a tongue to the turbo nozzle for cleaning furniture, which picks up hairs and threads so that they are sucked into the vacuum cleaner. Testing has positively assessed the effectiveness of this development. Bissel has developed a unique nozzle with a silicone surface for gentle cleaning of furniture coatings, even from hard-to-reach folds, working in three dimensions.

Dyson's DC52 series vacuum cleaners are equipped with the stunning Tangle-free Turbine miniature rollerless brushless brushes. Instead, there are gears like a watch that catch wool from the surface, redirecting it to the vacuum cleaner under the pressure of air. There is no problem of tangled hairs on the roller, since there is simply none at all.

Dyson vacuum cleaners with a uniquely developed technology instantly conquered the Russian market. To enhance their ability to clean effectively, you should use a nozzle for collecting hair, pet hair and other "difficult" types of debris. It has the name as a turbo brush for a Dyson vacuum cleaner. Traditionally for Dyson, the turbo brush, unusual in its design, copes well with cleaning and is practical in care.

Criterias of choice

When choosing home appliances, pet owners have to take into account the peculiarities arising from the seasonal molting of pets. The wool remains on the carpet or floor after active play. The simplest automatic cleaner can remove traces from a flat smooth floor, but not all models are capable of getting rid of wool from the surface of a long-piled carpet.

Turbo brush

To remove long dog hair, it is recommended to select models with a non-standard turbo brush. Instead of a traditional brush, you should opt for a central fixture equipped with rubber rollers. A rubber roller with a tread helps to comb out wool from carpets of different lengths. Some models are equipped with replaceable brushes that you can replace yourself when worn out.

If the center brush consists of small synthetic bristles, then there is a possibility of clogging the entire surface with hair. After each cleaning, such a brush must be additionally cleaned of collected debris.

Suction power

The suction power indicator for cleaning animal hair is one of the main criteria. It depends on the type of construction, the presence of a filtration system and the type of dust collector. The high suction power affects the condition of the internal parts, they wear out faster. The best option for home wool cleaning is an average power rating. This allows you to use the vacuum cleaner for a long time without replacing parts.

Work schedule

The function of setting work on a given schedule will keep you clean and tidy. Most often, cleaning times are set early in the morning and late in the evening so as not to disrupt the daily routine of family members. The schedule can be set remotely using the application installed on the smartphone. To do this, the vacuum cleaner is synchronized with the gadget and the name of the Wi-Fi network is entered. A robot for working on a schedule is connected to a special program. The advantage of such an acquisition is the viewing of various statistics, the ability to monitor the wear of the brushes and the capacity of the battery.

Virtual wall

Setting cleaning boundaries is not only a new modern function, but also a convenient technique if you have a pet in the house. By defining the boundary of the virtual wall, you can set the cleaning of a limited space, prohibit the cleaner from going outside the selected limits.

Modes

For houses and apartments in which pets live, it is recommended to choose vacuum cleaners with several modes.

The presence of a local mode and a turbo cleaning mode is especially important. Local cleaning is convenient when you need to quickly sweep a small area or remove traces of an animal from a certain area

Turbo mode is a module that is used for quick and deep cleaning at maximum speed. Turbo mode is not suitable for daily cleaning of the room, for maintaining order. It is turned on when they want to do a general cleaning.

Waste container volume

The dust collection capacity in different models varies from 430 to 600 milliliters. Considering that pet hair takes up more space than dust, you should choose a vacuum cleaner with the largest reservoir. Models from the Samsung manufacturer have a built-in function of returning to base, dumping garbage into the basic dust collector and continuing cleaning. When characterizing such a model, indicate the volume of the container located inside the robot body, and the volume of the base dust collector.

Battery volume

The battery capacity determines the length of the cleaning period without recharging. The higher this indicator, the longer the vacuum cleaner will be in operating mode outside the charging station area. A good indicator of work is a period of 120 minutes without recharging.

Attention! Experts do not recommend turning on the vacuum cleaner for cleaning if it is less than 50 percent charged.

1 Functions to make cleaning animal hair easier

The entire range of household vacuum cleaners can be conditionally divided into three groups depending on the principle of operation: for dry or wet cleaning, as well as combined ones.According to experts, the unit with a fabric or paper dust bag will cope best with wool cleaning.

Devices with containers are not as effective, and there are several reasons for this:

Their suction power is slightly less than that of bag ones, and it decreases in direct proportion to the accumulation of debris in the container.
Many models are so poorly designed that hair and fur clog the inlet and cause frequent breaks to clean the container.
It takes some time to assemble / disassemble and wash a container-type vacuum cleaner, and you need to find a free space to dry all the parts. For a vacuum cleaner with a bag, it is enough to replace the filled paper bag with a new one or empty the cloth bag from debris and insert it into the device.

Vacuum cleaners with an aquafilter are no less popular, because they do a pretty good job of cleaning an apartment and leave behind clean, moist air. Some of them even have a freshener function. It is very useful for families with small children and those with allergies or asthma.

True, you need to work with such a technique carefully in order to avoid overflow of water over the edge of the container. For the same reason, aqua units are not quite suitable for apartments with high thresholds or different floor levels.

Vacuum cleaners are an order of magnitude more expensive, but they can be used to easily clean all kinds of stains left by animals on carpets and upholstery.

Regardless of the basic device of the vacuum cleaner, it is useful to heed the recommendations of experts:

Pay attention not to the power of the device indicated on the body, but to the suction power, which can be seen among the main characteristics of the vacuum cleaner. The optimal indicator is 350-400 W, and if you have to regularly clean carpets with medium or high pile, the suction power should be 450-500 W

Units with a lower indicator should not be taken, otherwise removing wool from carpets and furniture will turn into constant torment.

Check the reliability of the filtration system. The more filters provided, the better: they ensure that wool and dust particles cannot return to the room, but remain inside the appliance. The minimum set of filters should include a filter on the container and motor, as well as a fine filter at the outlet of the air stream. HEPA filters of the last class (13-14) retain up to 99.5% of microparticles, therefore they are recommended for apartments with allergy sufferers.

Choose a model with a large number of attachments of different configurations and sizes. If the kit includes only a standard nozzle, cleaning can be problematic due to the inability to remove debris and wool from hard-to-reach places. But separate nozzles for cleaning the floor, carpet, furniture, narrow places and crevices will greatly facilitate the work of the hostess.

However, the turbo brush can be purchased separately, but it will cost the family budget a little more.
