4 Things to Know About the Roomba Combo Essential and Pet Hair

It handles light pet hair decently with its entry-level suction. The robot can pick up small amounts of fur from hard floors and low-pile carpets.

The small dustbin fills up fast in homes with multiple pets or heavy shedding. You will need to empty it frequently, often mid-cleaning session.

It lacks a self-emptying base, so you must manually empty the bin after each run. This adds daily maintenance compared to pricier Roomba models.

For homes with one low-shedding pet, it is a budget-friendly option. But for heavy shedding, look for a robot with a larger bin or auto-empty dock.
