Which robotic vacuum cleaner has an anti-tangle brush that can handle annoying pet hair?

To effectively clean up pesky pet hair, let's dive into some of the latest tangle-free brush designs based on actual test results and personal experience, followed by some quick recommendations.


Which brand excels at anti-tangle brushes?


  1. Ecovacs' ZeroTangle Anti-Tangle Technology features a 45° V-shaped bristle design, V-shaped spiral rubber strips, and bidirectional V-shaped comb teeth. This angled design reduces the likelihood of hair tangling, but it's not a complete prevention.

    In practice, some hair still gets caught and wraps around, especially on the bearings at both ends, requiring manual and laborious cleaning, which isn't exactly hassle-free!

  2. Dreame's cutting hair brush uses three internal blades to chop and reclaim long hair, coupled with a 50° angle design to enhance hair gathering and reduce tangling rates.

    However, in actual use, some hair still tangles on both sides of the brush, necessitating frequent manual cleaning.

  3. Dreame's newly launched 0-tangle dual-brush is designed to collect hair with bidirectional rolling from dual brushes. The brushes are cone-shaped, quickly gathering hair before it's sucked into the dustbin.

    User feedback suggests that while the dual brushes can tangle hair, the cone design seems to pull hair into the dustbin after extended use.

  4. Roborock's dual-suspension counter-brush uses the DuoDivide bristle brush. When encountering hair tangling, the brushes on the left and right rotate at different speeds to detach and disperse hair.

    We found that while the rubber-integrated brush indeed has a stronger cleaning ability, its dense pores still lead to hair tangling, which gets tighter over time. There's even a missed sweep in the middle area, which is somewhat disappointing.

    After using the brushes for a while, when you notice bristle deformation or a decrease in the robot's garbage pickup ability, it's recommended to replace the brushes. Replacement brushes for these are available on techTongBo, with guaranteed quality and prices significantly lower than original parts.


Here's a quick buying advice:


  1. Best Value Choice: Roborock S8 Pro Ultra

    This model from Roborock has gained high sales globally since its launch, featuring a dual rubber brush design. Rubber brushes significantly outperform bristle brushes in anti-tangling, paired with strong suction, making it a classic choice.


  2. Best Performance Choice: Dreame X50 Ultra

    Featuring a rubber-integrated conical dual-brush design, user feedback indicates excellent anti-tangling performance. Its newly launched self-cleaning spray cleaning plate is also highly anticipated. Not yet available on the global official website, but you can find the international version on platforms like AliExpress.


  3. Budget-Friendly Choice: Eufy 11S

    This model has received great market feedback for its durability. It uses a rubber-integrated brush design. While it doesn't completely eliminate hair tangling, the brush's detachable ends make cleaning more convenient.
