The 8 Best Cordless Vacuums for Pet Hair, According to Reviews

This lightweight vacuum has tons of bells and whistles, like a smart sensor that detects dust and debris ahead and automatically adjusts the vacuum suction power accordingly. It also comes with a tangle-free tool specifically for cleaning up pet hair. It's expensive, but personally, I find it to be exceptionally effective.

Glowing customer review: "The S15's best feature is the pet hair brush-head, which actually works—my brush head remains hair-free," one reviewer says. "Great suction. I'm constantly amazed at how much hair/debris this vacuum sucks up."

The Kenmore DS 1030 operates at two speeds, so you can customize your clean, and can easily convert to a handvac for hard-to-reach places. But the most unique feature of this vaccum is the LED headlight, which helps illuminate dark places and can make all that pet hair easier to spot and clean.

Glowing customer review: "The head is small, which REALLY helps getting into tight corners and underneath tables and beds—I've been able to capture more dust bunnies easily," writes one reviewer. "All the hair and dirt comes up mostly just using the LOW setting."

This small hand-held vacuum might be a lil small to effectively clean your entire house, but it's perfect for cleaning pet hair off your fur baby's favorite piece of furniture. It's super small and is rechargeable via USB cord, so you don't have to worry about a charging dock taking up space.

Glowing customer review: "When I first purchased this, my husband didn't think we needed it. Turns out, we use it all the time! Such a cute little portable vac that is great around the house or in your car," one reviewer says. "Highly recommend!"

You'll never have to move your couch to vacuum again with this flexible Levoit vacuum that features a Flex Stick attachment, which bends a full 90 degrees. The vacuum also converts into a hand-held for easy maneuvering, and comes with a crevice tool to make cleaning your car or corners a breeze.

Glowing customer review: "I have two area rugs and four cats," one tester writes. "I was amazed at how much hair this little vacuum picked up! The suction power is just amazing."

Tiny but mighty is the name of the game with this handheld vacuum. What it lacks in size, it more than makes up for in cool accessories. It has an upholstery attachment that specifically targets soft surfaces and furniture (perfect for cleaning hair off a couch or bed) and a crevice attachment to help you get all those hard-to-reach cracks and corners!

Glowing customer review: “Amazing and handy vacuum," says one tester. "Grabs the stubborn short hairs my dog leaves that stick in the couch that other vacuums haven’t been able to get very well. Used it and the attachments to vacuum my van too. Works great!!! Easy to clean too.”

If you’re the “set it and forget it” type, you might want to consider splurging on a robot vacuum. This one connects to Wi-Fi and can be programmed via your phone so you can set the timer and parameters to keep your precious pet safe. It’s got a real-time mapping feature, meaning it generates floor plans, sets customized cleaning, and establishes “no-go” zones. So fancy, right?!

Glowing customer review: “Words cannot produce how much I love this vacuum. I have two dogs—both large breed and long haired—as well as three children who create mess everywhere. Our yard is mostly sand due to being in a coastal region so they all track it in constantly," one reviewer writes. "My floors were stupidly dirty when it began its mapping of my home. Afterward, my floors were literally spotless. I honestly didn’t think it would work as well as it did unless I pre-cleaned the floors myself. I was wrong. The amount of dog hair and dirt it captured is unreal.”
