5 Things to Know About Roomba Pet Hair Performance

The Roomba 705 Max and Combo 4020 handle pet hair equally well on medium-pile carpets. Both models use the same dual rubber brush system, so there is no winner for pet hair pickup.

Dual rubber brushes outperform bristle brushes on pet hair. Rubber rollers do not wrap up in long hair, so they keep spinning without regular detangling.

Pet hair gets sucked straight into the bin with rubber rollers. This design prevents clogs and reduces maintenance compared to bristle alternatives.

Let other features decide your purchase if pet hair is your main concern. Focus on mopping ability, dock type, or price instead, since pet hair performance is identical.

On pet hair specifically, it is a tie between the two models. No surprise or standout — just two machines with the same core cleaning engine.
