This Is the Best Robo Vacuum for People with Pets

You don’t hate many things, but you absolutely loathe vacuuming. But because you own a pet that sheds, you don’t really have a choice. If only there were some way to do this demanding yet necessary chore without actually doing it yourself (or having to pay someone else to do it for you). A-ha! There is: the robo vacuum, an automated version that magically cleans up and you don't even have to lift a finger.

There a few great ones on the market, but we’ve narrowed the list down to the absolute best one for people with pets: The Eufy Boost IQ Robovac.

The Eufy Boost IQ Robovac is labeled an “Amazon’s Choice,” meaning it’s highly rated, well-priced ($179, not bad for a literal robot) and available to ship immediately. (Score, score and score.) Plus, it was voted Best Robot Vacuum of 2018 by Digital Trends. 

Here’s why everyone thinks it’s so great.

At only 2.85 inches tall, the Robovac is one of the thinnest out there, meaning it can fit under super-tight areas—ya know, those spots that Petunia the cat thought were her little secret. It runs for up to 100 minutes before automatically recharging itself—yep, you seriously don’t need to think about the vacuum. It even uses infrared and drop sensors to avoid running into and scratching your new teak dining table or falling down the stairs and damaging itself. And, most importantly, it has 1300Pa of suction power. Good luck finding a stray hair.

But won’t it scare the hell out of Fluffy, you ask? Nope. The Eufy is surprisingly quiet. So, while Fluffy might be curious about this new, uh, friend, roaming around the house, the noise won’t shock her. The clean floors? Well, that just might.
