The 4 Best Cordless Vacuums For Pet Hair of 2025

The best cordless vacuum for pet hair we've tested is the Dyson V15 Detect. This high-end stick vacuum isn't the newest model on the market, but it still represents a compelling option thanks to its blend of performance and portability. It does a fantastic job of handling pet hair on bare floors and low- and high-pile carpets. It comes with two floorheads, one with a bristled multi-surface roller with built-in vanes to trap pet hair and the other with a soft nylon roller, as well as a laser light to help you see fine strands of hair or small debris on hard floors. There are a few other handy attachments, like a miniature turbo brush and a combo upholstery tool/soft bristle brush, which are effective for tackling pet hair on cloth couches or chairs. It also features a built-in particle sensor that you can use to keep an eye on allergen quantities inside your home.

The one major downside here is build quality; this doesn't feel like a particularly sturdily built unit, which is especially disappointing for a vacuum at this price point. Consider the Miele Duoflex HX1 if you're looking for a more solid-feeling vacuum that still offers great overall pet hair pickup performance. That said, you'll also need to put up with a smaller dustbin and weaker overall suction.

If you want great performance but don't mind sacrificing a couple of features to save a bit of money, then consider the A913BM variant of the LG CordZero A9. It isn't as feature-packed as the Dyson V15 Detect, as it has no automatic suction power adjustment or built-in particle sensor; still, it's the best stick vacuum for pet hair at the upper mid-range price point that we've tested. It's just as effective in handling pet hair across different surface types as the more expensive Dyson, and it also comes with a multi-surface floorhead, which does a good job of dealing with pet hair on carpets and bare floors.

The vacuum is fully compatible with LG's Power Drive Mop attachment, a purpose-designed floorhead with a pair of rotating mop pads and a water dispersal nozzle to wet and scrub away dried-on stains, like dirt or mud, that your pet might track inside. Emptying the vacuum cleaner's dustbin can release a cloud of dust and debris, but the vacuum cleaner's HEPA filter helps trap common allergens as you clean. This model also comes with LG's unique Power Punch Nozzle, which effectively vibrates the surface you're cleaning to shake out any embedded debris so that the vacuum can suck everything up.

For those seeking to strike the balance between budget and performance, get the the Samsung Jet 60. This cordless vacuum feels a little less sturdily built than the LG CordZero A9, and its max battery life is a little shorter, topping out just south of 50 minutes. Thankfully, it still does a pretty good job of clearing away pet hair, though, unlike the LG, you might still need to make an extra pass or two to collect shorter strands on furniture. The Pet variant of the Jet 60 also comes with a miniature turbo brush that's very effective in dealing with pet hair on fabric, though it's a little bulky and unwieldy, and you'll need to hold the vacuum with two hands to manage it effectively.

The Samsung vacuum also features a five-stage filtration system that's at least partially effective in keeping fine allergens sealed inside the dustbin. Like any bagless vacuum, you'll need to be careful when emptying it out because it can release a cloud of fine dust and debris. Still, there's more than enough to love about this vacuum to make it the best stick vacuum for pet hair at a mid-range price point we've tested.

The best cordless stick vacuum for pet hair at a budget-friendly price that we've tested is the Wyze Cordless Vacuum S. This replaces our previous budget recommendation the Wyze Cordless Vacuum, which is now discontinued. Right off the bat, the Wyze S' build quality is the least impressive of our picks, and it can't match the other vacuums on our list, so a second pass will likely be needed to get everything. Nevertheless, it does a decent job of handling pet hair on hard-to-clean surfaces like low-pile carpets, and although long hair can also get tangled around its bristled brushroll, the roll is fully removable, so you can clean it without too much effort.

Another standout feature of this vacuum is its battery life, which lasts longer than some of our more expensive picks, like the Samsung Jet 60. Unfortunately, it only comes with a crevice tool, which is too small to be practical for cleaning things like couch cushions. A turbo brush or motorized tool would help clean pet hair from furniture, but none are available for this vacuum.
