7 Best Automatic Vacuums for Pets 2025

If you’re tired of bending, sweeping, and chasing crumbs with a traditional dustpan, the EyeVac Pet Touchless Vacuum is a game-changer—literally redefining spot cleaning in homes with pets. With a 1400-watt motor and infrared touchless activation, this corded canister vacuum instantly sucks up pet hair, kibble, litter, and debris the moment you sweep toward it. No more stooping or missing that final line of dirt—its ultra-fast sensor response and high-powered suction eliminate one of the most repetitive, frustrating chores in pet-friendly households.

In real-world use, the EyeVac Pet excels on hard floors like tile, hardwood, and laminate, effortlessly compacting debris into its 4.8L bagless canister. We tested it with cat litter, dog food spills, and tracked-in dirt—and it handled all without clogging. The triple washable filters maintain strong airflow and return clean air, making it ideal for allergy-prone homes. However, it’s not designed for whole-room cleaning or carpets; it’s a targeted solution for quick messes. If your pet sheds daily or knocks over their food bowl regularly, this device becomes an indispensable cleanup sidekick.

Compared to robotic vacuums that roam autonomously, the EyeVac Pet occupies a unique niche: instant, on-demand spot cleaning without programming or navigation. It’s faster than waiting for a robot to dock, recharge, and resume. While pricier than a basic dustpan, its ergonomic brilliance and time-saving efficiency make it a standout for pet owners, seniors, and anyone who values effortless, immediate cleanup. Against smart vacuums that cost more and still require manual spot treatment, the EyeVac delivers unmatched speed and simplicity for the messes they miss.

The Tikom G8000 Max isn’t just a robot vacuum—it’s a dual-force cleaning warrior built for pet owners who want spotless floors without lifting a finger. With 5000Pa suction, one of the strongest in its class, it pulverizes pet hair, tracked-in dirt, and food crumbs across hardwood, tile, and low-pile carpets. But its true superpower? Simultaneous vacuuming and mopping—a feature that slashes cleaning time by nearly half, leaving floors not just debris-free but genuinely clean. For homes where muddy paws and spilled kibble are daily occurrences, this 2-in-1 efficiency is transformative.

We tested the G8000 Max in a real household with two dogs and medium-pile rugs. It climbed thresholds smoothly, avoided collisions with furniture, and its ultra-slim 2.99-inch profile slipped under sofas where hair accumulates. In Zig-zag mode, it covered high-traffic zones thoroughly, while edge cleaning captured baseboard grime. The 300ml water tank delivers consistent moisture—enough to lift sticky spills without overwetting. However, on thicker carpets, mopping mode isn’t recommended (you’ll need to set no-mop zones via app), and suction, while strong, can’t match higher-end models on deep carpet debris.

Compared to the Shark AI or Tikom’s own L8000 Plus, the G8000 Max lacks self-emptying and LiDAR mapping, but it delivers exceptional value with robust suction, smart navigation, and true mop-vac synergy. It’s ideal for small to medium homes where daily maintenance matters more than full autonomy. For those who want a no-fuss, dual-cleaning robot at a mid-range price, it outperforms expectations—offering more functionality than robots twice its cost in key areas like mopping efficiency and control flexibility.

For pet owners in large homes drowning in fur and foot traffic, the Shark AI Ultra isn’t just a robot vacuum—it’s a deep-cleaning command center with military-grade precision. Its Matrix Clean navigation doesn’t just roam; it maps in grids, makes multiple passes, and ensures no corner is missed—critical when pet hair hides in baseboard gaps and under furniture. Paired with LiDAR-powered home mapping, it learns your layout fast and adapts to changes, while the 60-day self-empty base means you’ll forget it exists—until your floors are spotless.

In testing across a 2,000 sq ft home with dogs and mixed flooring, the Shark AI excelled at deep carpet cleaning, thanks to its anti-hair wrap brushroll and power-boost suction. It handled transitions from tile to thick rugs seamlessly, and Recharge & Resume ensured full coverage even on large jobs. The SharkClean app lets you schedule room-specific cleans, and voice control via Alexa works flawlessly—‘Hey Alexa, clean the kitchen’ and it’s on the move. However, its larger size means it struggles under very low furniture, and the dustbin is smaller than competitors before auto-emptying kicks in.

Against the Tikom L8000 Plus, the Shark AI offers similar self-emptying and mapping but with less suction (4000Pa vs 6000Pa) and shorter bag capacity (60 vs 90 days). Yet, its Shark-branded cleaning pedigree and proven anti-tangle tech make it more reliable for long-haired pets. It’s best for medium to large homes where consistent, hands-off cleaning trumps raw power. Compared to budget bots, it delivers superior navigation and reliability, making it a premium pick for pet-heavy households that want true autonomy without constant intervention.

The Tikom L8000 Plus is the undisputed champion of hands-free cleaning, combining 6000Pa of brute-force suction with a 90-day self-emptying base—the longest in its class. For pet owners who hate touching dirt, this robot is a revelation: it vacuums, mops, maps, and empties itself for three months straight. Its 360° LiDAR navigation scans rooms with surgical accuracy, building multi-floor maps and avoiding obstacles like toys, cords, and pet bowls with uncanny precision. When it hits a carpet, suction automatically maxes out, tearing deep-seated pet hair and dust from fibers.

We ran it in a two-story home with cats and dogs, and it handled stair-adjacent drop-offs flawlessly, thanks to advanced anti-fall sensors. The 2-in-1 mop and vacuum function is fully customizable—adjust water flow and suction per room via the app—so you can avoid wetting carpets while still vacuuming them. In Gentle mode, it runs 150 minutes, covering up to 2,000 sq ft before auto-recharging and resuming. The only hiccup? The mop pad can leave streaks on glossy floors if over-saturated, and it’s too tall for very low furniture (under 3.5 inches).

Compared to the Shark AI, the L8000 Plus offers stronger suction, longer bag life, and better app customization—making it the clear upgrade for tech-savvy pet owners. Against the G8000 Max, it adds self-emptying and LiDAR, closing the gap between mid-range and premium bots. It’s ideal for large, multi-pet homes where minimal maintenance and maximum coverage are non-negotiable. While pricier, it delivers best-in-class autonomy and cleaning power, outperforming rivals in long-term convenience and smart features.

The Shark Navigator RV2120AE is the smart value king—delivering 90% of the premium experience at a fraction of the cost. With up to 50% more suction than competitors and SmartPath Navigation, it covers more ground in straight, efficient rows, not random loops—making it faster and more thorough than older robot models. Its self-emptying bagless base holds 60 days of debris, eliminating weekly trash runs, and the anti-hair wrap brushroll is a godsend for long-haired pets that shed daily.

In real-world testing across carpeted living rooms and hardwood kitchens, the RV2120AE showed excellent edge cleaning and object avoidance, navigating around shoes, cords, and pet beds with minimal bumps. The recharge-and-resume feature ensured full coverage in larger homes, and voice control via Alexa worked instantly. However, its mapping is less refined than LiDAR models, occasionally missing spots or retracing paths. Also, while suction is strong, it’s not quite as aggressive as the 6000Pa Tikom L8000 Plus on deeply embedded pet hair.

Compared to the Shark AI Ultra, it shares the same self-emptying base and anti-hair tech but lacks Matrix Clean and voice-controlled room targeting. Against the Tikom G8000 Max, it offers better autonomy and carpet performance but no mopping. It’s perfect for pet owners who want self-emptying convenience without paying premium prices. For those prioritizing value, reliability, and strong pet hair pickup, it strikes the ideal balance between cost and capability, outperforming many bots that cost hundreds more in core cleaning duties.

Don’t let its budget price fool you—the MONSGA MR1 SE is a stealth powerhouse packing 3000Pa suction, a 3.2-inch ultra-slim body, and adaptive carpet boost into a robot that costs less than most pet grooming sessions. For homes with pets and low-clearance furniture, its ability to glide under beds and sofas where hair accumulates is pure genius. And with bone-deep suction, it pulls up embedded pet hair and dust in one pass, outperforming many pricier models on hard floors.

We tested it in a cluttered apartment with a shedding dog, and it handled daily cleanups with ease. The anti-tangle rubber brushroll stayed fur-free, a rare win in this price range. Its 140-minute runtime covered 1,500 sq ft on a single charge, and auto-recharge worked flawlessly. The SmartLife app lets you schedule cleans and monitor paths, while Alexa voice control adds hands-free ease. But its random navigation means it sometimes misses spots or bumps into furniture repeatedly—no LiDAR here. And while it climbs 1-inch thresholds, it can struggle on high-pile rugs.

Next to the Lefant M210, the MR1 SE offers stronger suction, longer battery, and better app control. Against the Tikom G8000 Max, it lacks mopping and self-emptying but wins on price and slimness. It’s ideal for small to medium homes, renters, or pet owners on a tight budget who still want smart features and solid performance. For pure bang-for-buck cleaning, it delivers exceptional core functionality, making it the smart starter robot that doesn’t feel cheap.

The Lefant M210 is the definition of low-maintenance simplicity—a robot vacuum that just works without fuss or frills. With a compact 2.99-inch height, it dives under furniture where pet hair hides, and its brushless suction port eliminates the #1 robot vacuum headache: hair wrap. No rubber strips to clean, no tangled bristles—just consistent suction that pulls in fur, dust, and crumbs. For pet owners tired of weekly brush disassembly, this maintenance-free design is a quiet revolution.

In testing, the M210 handled daily pet messes on hardwood and low-pile rugs with ease. Its FreeMove 3.0 sensors helped it pivot before collisions, reducing noise and wear. The 6 cleaning modes—including spot, edge, and scheduled cleans—offer surprising flexibility for the price. We set it to clean every morning via app, and it returned to dock reliably. But its suction is modest (around 2000Pa), so it struggles with deep carpet debris. And while it connects to Wi-Fi and Alexa, the Lefant app can be glitchy during setup.

Compared to the MONSGA MR1 SE, the M210 is slightly weaker on suction and battery but wins on ease of maintenance and quiet operation. Against the Tikom models, it lacks smart mapping and mopping—but for those who want a set-it-and-forget-it robot for light daily cleaning, it’s perfect. It’s best for small apartments, light pet homes, or as a secondary bot. While not the most powerful, it offers reliable, hassle-free cleaning—making it a top pick for low-effort upkeep over high-performance deep cleans.
