Vacuum cleaner for pet hair
I think I've had my cylinder hoover for a few years and I can't get the beige living room carpet clean from three cats and my long hair without taking the nozzle off and getting on my hands and knees (no jokes please  ) well I am fed up with that malarky so can anyone recommend a good vaccum for pet hair? I don't really want to spend more than 150, car insurance is due this month
Whatevs.

Well,the Miele cat and dog has proved to be the best for getting up our dogs hairs but its not £150  However, you do get a ten year guarantee with it. Have to say my Sebo was much easier to open up if you got a blockage or whatever but this Miele does have the power you need for the hairs and an attachment for turbo removing hairs on the stairs
£239 at John Lewis

Hi,
I`ve been through so many hovers as i have a dog with very short hair, and he molts like no other dog ive ever known.
I now have a henry hover and have had no problems. got mine for around £85 a year ago in a sale.
Hope this helps.

I think The Miele mentioned above got the Which magazine Best Buy. I have a Dyson Animal with the turbo brush attachement which I find works well.

Yes, I got the upright version of that Miele and as I said, it ploughs through dogs hairs and the carpet looks clean (for a little while). Only downside is its quite heavy and a pain in the butt to open up if you get a blockage in it. Mine came with a 10 year guarantee from Co op online store. I dont think they have that offer now.
Gawd, on Debenhams its £320!! £239 on John Lewis with guarantee extended to 10 years for £30

Do NOT buy the hoover bagless upright that claims to be for pet hair, it clogs up every time you use it, and the wheels came off within 3 months. I previously had a Henry for 10 years and he was a scruffy old faithful until I overextended him while hoovering the car and he went tumbling down the concrete stairs, now considering buying another one even though the hoover is less than 6 months old

Bissell are brill for anything, I got a cheap one from asda not expecting much and cannot recommend enough, lightweight, easy to empty and clean. I'm a cleaner and have used lots of Dysons, Hoovers etc and don't rate them like my Bissell
Also has a charcoal filter to keep per odours at bay, I got it for £40, its now on offer at £49 inflation eh?. I have a moulting dog but whip round once a day with this and its sorted. Just read the 325 5 star reviews.
Bissell Powerforce.

I got a Vax bagless http://www.comet.co.uk/p/Cylinder-Va...Cleaner/654191 £70-something when I bought it 6 months ago!
It came with a turbo-brush - best for defluffing sofa, and you can adjust the power so get extra suction where needed.
I do need to check the nozzle now and again and scrape some hair off the brush strip so it goes all the way down!
Must be good as I need to empty it twice for thoroughly doing a teeny cottage

Thanks abwsco, unfortunately I didn't buy mine from Currys. Currys had the vacuum at £199 when I bought mine two weeks ago, bad luck...

By mean, so far I think the best Pets Vacuum Cleaners are from Miele. That is a upright Vacuum cleaner but rather expensive. Miele Cat and DogS7260. In the long run, it's a good investment.
