Vacuum Cleaner to cope with 4 cats and a dog????

gettingready

Yup, the all shiney and great VC that I bought last year has completely died on me and went to the skip now.

So I have no vacuum cleaner...... with 4 cats and a long haired GS...:eek:

No carpets, no stairs (flat not a house) - laminate and tiles indoors.

Do not want one that I have to keep on buying bags for.

Preferably bagless all together.

But one that will last a bit longer then a year...

The amount of fur I have flying around in massive, and as I have no carpets (no rugs either), it just flies everywhere, seeping is simply not on option really - tried several times and 5 min later all on the floor again.

Any recommendations?

Can not afford very much but... Hmmmm

I'd 100% say go for a Dyson, they do cost alot but they are worth it. Do you have a littlewoods account or a CC you could possibly put it on if so it will pay for its self over time because they last.

Amazon sell them for around £230, my mums old Dyson lasted 9 years before it finally died.

And I wouldn't have a Dyson again.

We have 6 cats and 2 long haired dogs and we have to vacuum first with another cleaner before using the Dyson or the long hair winds round the spindle and the whole thing grinds to a halt.Also, you have to wash the filters quite often or else the suction just goes. However, I must say that when I do use the Dyson it does pull out lots of gunk that the other one misses.

When mine die, I'm planning to get a Henry.

Thanks but Dyson is wey off my financial means now and for a long time.

I was thinking something in the £50 range TBH...

Paid £70 for my last one, was 140 but on half price sale.. sigh...

If you're only paying £50, does it really matter if it doesn't last all that long?

Why not buy a really basic one from somewhere like Tesco - we had something similar to this and it lasted for a couple of years.

I am looking at this one:

Similar to the one I had before......good reviews and on half price now...

That Tesco one looks good too, 1400 watt so the same, similar number of pretty good reviews too - but no mention about pet hair.. white the Bisell one mentions pets hair hmmmm

I bought a new hoover last week, wanted an upright. Went to Comet and got their own brand Proline bagless £37. I've 3 cats and a dog and laminate/tiles throughout the whole flat. It picks up great and comes with attachments including one of those turbo brushes.

Or perhaps, this one?

You are absolutely right, and I know no vacuum cleaner is going to last HERE longer than a year so perhaps will go for the most basic one... hmmm

Ah this one is out of stock for delivery and out of stock in 10 nearest stores LOL

If you don't have rugs or carpets, why a vacuum cleaner? why not a steam cleaner as it should sort out the fur easier
