Cats and dogs shed or moult all year-round; however, twice a year during spring and autumn, pet hair loss intensifies. Apart from the mess this causes, pet hair can trigger allergies as the hair collects pollen and mould spores. There are countless articles about how best to manage this ‘fallout’, but robot vacuums are recommended as a dependable solution.
Robot vacuums best suited to cleaning pet hair can remove even the most stubborn of short pet hairs, which tend to embed themselves in carpets. With 30 years of robotics expertise and innovation, iRobot is known for designing and building innovative robotic cleaning solutions with some star performers in this area; these include the Roomba s9+, the Roomba i3+, the Roomba i7 and the Roomba j7+.
These smart products learn how you like to clean and enable personalised suggestions for more regular or even daily cleaning during pet-shedding seasons.
Roomba s9+
This product features the first and only anti-allergen system for robots that traps and locks pollen and mould allergens, keeping them from escaping the robot. It boasts a powerful new cleaning system with up to 40x the suction over previous generation Roomba vacuums. It includes a high-efficiency filter that captures 99% of mould, pollen, and dust mite allergens. Once the Roomba s9+ robot is finished cleaning, it returns to the Clean Base™ Charging Station to automatically empty its contents into a disposable bag, trapping dirt and dust.
Roomba i3+
The iRobot Genius Home Intelligence platform powers the Roomba i3+ to give users unmatched personalisation and control. It learns when you normally clean and can suggest personalised schedules based on recurring cleaning patterns. Instead of using a single bristle brush, the Roomba i3+ employs dual multi-surface rubber brushes that flex to adjust to different floor types and avoid getting tangled with pet hair. It can even recommend an extra clean when it’s allergy season in a frequently used area, and the pollen count is high, or during the pet-shedding season.
Roomba j7+
Using iRobot Genius Home Intelligence, the Roomba j7+ learns how you like to clean and automatically gives personalised suggestions, even factoring in times when your home may need more frequent cleaning – like pet-shedding or allergy seasons. It boasts a 3-Stage Cleaning System with Dual Multi-Surface Rubber Brushes to tackle dust, dirt, and pet hair on various floor types; an Edge-Sweeping Brush for walls and corners; and 10x the Power-Lifting Suction that pulls in stubborn dirt.
While pet-shedding may be normal, their hair does not have to become a permanent feature in your home. The iRobot range will keep things tidy and free you up to do the things you enjoy most – like walking your dog or playing with your pet.
