seems like the cat and dog hoover is well recommended. Now can I justify £160....ouch:think:NO to pasty tax We won!!!! Just shows that people power works! Don't be apathetic to your cause!0

They're currently doing a free 2 year cover on the hoovers. We have an independant stockist nearby and I was able to buy mine in 3 installments with no extra charge. May be worth seeing if you can find the same. My Miele is 10 years old and still as good as new.0 -
Have a look in argos - looking in the new catalogue there are various cleaners in there that claim they are ideal for bet hair - starting at a lot less than £160 (the miele one is in argos for £38 more). I think anything with a high wattage 1700+ should be good at shifting pet hair. The Miele is 2000 watts.0

Hi folks, hope you can help.
We've just bought our first home so money is tight, and I decided on the cheapest hoover I could find because there just hasn't been cash for anything better (£40 teeny cylinder).
But it's rubbish, it doesn't pick up anything, the only way it lifts hair is if you use the head to scrub the carpet then pick the hairs out of that every minute or two! So, more fool me - you obviously get what you (don't!) pay for when it comes to hoovers! OH is threatening to go and buy a Dyson which will probably be a couple of hundred quid and that's really more than I think we ought to spend. SO I thought I'd come and ask here for any recommendations.
I'd rather pay the extra money and have something that works than fall into the false economy trap for a second time, but I would like to know if there are any moneysaving equivalents to the pricey Dyson? I have a cylinder in my head because our house is only small and uprights seem so heavy and awkward when cleaning stairs, BUT I'm open to any suggestions. With 2 dogs and 2 cats we're living in a furry wonderland!0 -
Having owned Jack Russell's that had polar bears as ancestors you have my heartfelt sympathy. My solution was the most powerful upright Hoover I could find and a handheld Dirt Devil for upholstery and stairs. If money's tight, you might be able to source a recon Hoover which will be just as good as a brand new one, but the case will look pre-loved. Dyson? Some people love 'em, I wouldn't give one house room !
The real moneysaving tip is grooming all the pets twice a day. Good luck.0 -
Cant beat the Dyson IMHO for pet hair - if money is the issue they have got £50 off both the cylinder and the upright in the Argos sale.
Not sure about anything else though (all the others I've tried are rubbish, sorry)The early bird gets the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese :cool:0 -

I second that. My hairy golden animal is my avatar. He creates a massive amount of hair every day. We've had a Dyson DC07 Animal for about 3 years and it picks up all hair from carpets and wooden floors on the 1st pass. It's an upright and it does not blow hair around on hard floors like most do - just picks it up. It seemed expensive when we got it, but boy can you see the difference. The only downside is that they are VERY heavy and so difficult to lug up and down stairs.0 -
Yup - we've got the Dyson Animal (small cylinder one) and it's great with 7 shedding cats.The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.0
