Robot vacuums to cope with a huge amount of Labrador hair

Is there such a thing that can cope?
I have a eufy robot vacuum but it can’t cope with my 2 labradors excessive shedding!!
I groom them and deshed as much as I can but the house is still covered in hair. The robot vacuum leaves chunks of the hair lying round the house (in disgust) and I vacuum with my handheld twice a day but I’d like a robot vac that is better equipt. Any suggestions?

I read the headline and came to recommend eufy!! Sorry they aren’t working for you, I’m really shocked how good they are with our excessive dog hair

Which model do you have? I have the g50 and it can’t cope with all the hair 😭

What do you mean by it can't cope? How often are you emptying it?

My Eufy robots have coped fine with two husky type dogs, a long haired cat, plus me and DH in a house that's often dusty as we live with windows open all year round.

But I empty them every other day and detangle the brushes about once a week. My hair is long so that's the usual problem!

Also, I brush the dust catchers every time I empty it (just with my fingers) and clean out the filters regularly...

I have a Roomba with a base station that it empties its tank into the bag of as and when it needs to, and it copes with all the animal hair perfectly. It also impressively deals with my long hair by neatly winding it up into little hair doughnuts at the ends of its rollers and never gets clogged up with them unlike any of our big vacuums.

@PinkFootstooli empty it every other day, the hair tends to clog on the brush and it just leaves clumps of dog hair everywhere. It’s still picking up hair just nowhere near enough
