Our Verdict

Dyson Ball Animal 2 Total Clean/Origin

Eureka FloorRover

The Dyson Ball Animal 2 Total Clean/Origin and the Eureka FloorRover are both excellent options for cleaning pet hair, though the Dyson has a couple of advantages. The Dyson is slightly easier to maintain and has no recurring costs, while the Eureka has a HEPA filter that needs replacing on occasion. The Dyson is a bit more maneuverable overall, but its strong suction force can make it harder to move around on carpets.
