With its motorized brush and extendable crevice tool, this handheld vac cleans pet hair in a flash, especially on upholstery.
The Black+Decker 20V Max Dustbuster AdvancedClean+ Cordless Pet Hand Vacuum HHVK515JP07 cleans pet fur better than any other handheld vacuum we’ve tested. It offers great suction, enhanced by a motorized brush that agitates lips and removes stubborn lint from tight upholstery. It also has a built-in extendable crevice tool that helps target fur and other detritus on kitchen counters and between couch cushions.
The HHVK515JP07’s bin volume is the largest of the handheld vacs we tested. This model runs longer (for 25 minutes) than its competitors. Its battery charges in less than three hours but is not replaceable. Its filters can be washed and replaced, though.
Black+Decker covers the HHVK515JP07 with a two-year warranty.

This bagged canister vacuum is great on both bare floors and carpets, and it has many adjustment options and attachments that make picking up fluff a breeze.
The SEBO Airbelt K3 Premium, our top-performing canister vacuum, combines great cleaning and filtration power with comfortable handling and thoughtful design.
In our tests, the Airbelt K3 Premium was excellent at picking up hairs on carpets and couches, along with dirt and debris dragged in from outside. Its powerful electric cleaner head is the best we’ve tested, effortlessly gliding across bare floors and short, medium, and high-pile carpets and rugs. This model has three useful onboard attachments, including a great upholstery tool that works well with fur.
When purchased from an authorized dealer, the Airbelt K3 Premium comes with an excellent warranty: seven years for the motor and five years on parts and labor, which increases to 10 years and seven years, respectively, with registration.

If you have a small pet or two and live in an apartment, this versatile cordless vacuum cleaner, with a large dustbin and quick recharging, may be just what you need to keep the fur away.
The battery-powered Ryobi 18V One+ HP Cordless Pet Stick Vac Kit with Dual-Roller Bar is reasonably priced, and it offers above-average performance in our cordless stick vacuum tests. Its powerful all-terrain cleaner head agitates and lifts hair and debris from both bare floors and carpets, and its extra-large bin requires no emptying mid-clean.
The Ryobi 18V One+ HP stick vac stands on its own, but it’s heavier than many of its cordless competitors and harder to maneuver on stairs. It comes with a motorized brush for removing stubborn pet hair from upholstery, a regular crevice tool, and a handy micro crevice tool for reaching fluff in tight spots.
This model’s battery lasts 35 minutes, and its two-hour charge time is one of the fastest of the sticks we’ve tested. In addition, you can easily replace the battery and use it in various Ryobi tools.
The Ryobi 18V One+ HP stick vac comes with a three-year warranty.

This bot is a great navigator that can avoid pet obstacles while staying on top of the fur.

This is the Roborock Q5 that comes with a charging dock that sucks debris from its dustbin after it’s been cleaned.
Of the robot vacuums we’ve tested, the Roborock Q5 is one of the quietest and most thorough cleaners, picking up more debris than some more expensive models. It can map multiple levels of your home and remember the layout of a floor, and it allows you to block off areas where pets snooze or eat.
This model’s app is user-friendly and offers dozens of customizations, such as scheduling cleaning cycles and vacuuming specific rooms. It tells you when to replace the filters and brushes, and with the included remote control, you can return it to places it might have missed. While Roborock’s obstacle-detection system is far from perfect, the Q5 avoids obstacles more effectively than most other robot vacuums we’ve tested. It’s also one of the quietest robots we’ve tested, which skittish pets will appreciate.
The Roborock Q5+ performs exactly the same as the Q5 but includes a charging station that can remove debris from the robot right into a disposable bag.
Both models have a one-year warranty.

This solid and affordable robot vacuum has a large enough container to hold a decent amount of lint.
In our cleaning tests, the basic Eufy RoboVac 11S Max outperformed many navigation-savvy robots, picking up more debris than most, including baseboards and near walls. Its low height allows it to effortlessly slide under furniture to pick up dust bunnies and missed kitty treats.
It’s so quiet and agile, it fades into the background like no other robot we’ve tested. The RoboVac 11S Max doesn’t connect to an app, but it does come with a remote control for scheduling it to clean and directing it to missed areas. Its navigation system, however, tends to be random, and its relentless aim bothers some people.
It comes with a one-year warranty.
