Question: What is the best vacuum for picking up hair?


DD and I both have long thick hair. It gets everywhere. My current, cheap vacuum doesn't touch it - I had a D*son before but it died


Would I be better off getting a pet vacuum?!


Thanks for any suggestions x

We have a wiry haired terrier. He sheds constantly and his hair seems to embed itself into furniture and carpets. I had a Dyson, then an expensive, posh, pet friendly, superfiltration Vax - which just glided over his hairs. Eventually I bought a Henry and love it. At last I have something that works!

Morning flyladies. Up early on a Sunday as I have to take DD to a course today then I'm going to cinema with DS (free tickets, very MSE). Just having breakfast, then I need to make DD a packed lunch, get chicken in the slow cooker, shower and walk the dogs.

Best get moving. Have a great day everyone.

Had a great day yesterday - the sculpture exhibition was superb (especially Damian Hirst's stunning angels)

We went along to Gloucester Cathedral yesterday afternoon to see the exhibition - and a general wander around the Cathedral, which DH and I both love. I think some of my favourite pieces were the pear, the tortoise and the snail - and the water piece in the Cathedral and the 'pretend' water (mirror) in the cloisters

DD and I both have long hair - very fine, but an awful lot of it and we both 'moult' massively. I used to have to brush up the hair with a stiff brush to get it out of the carpets every couple of months. We now have 2 Dys0ns (allergy ones as opposed to pet ones) and find they work well - although I'm forever having to strip all of our hair off the rotating bars in the heads!

Morning all

Party last night was a good chance to catch up with people I've not seen in a good few years. I'm a lightweight so only drank one glass of fizz and home before midnight.

Today's plan:
[STRIKE]Decide on something for dinner (and go and buy it)[/STRIKE]
Hoover just about everywhere
[STRIKE]Change another bed
Sweep up plums
Cut the grass if it stays dry[/STRIKE]
Do my mother's tax return
Ironing
DS3 has homework - cover books
[STRIKE]DH wants to put a coat of paint on the doors[/STRIKE]

Hello everyone,

I think life is slowing down a smidgen now the kids are back to school.

I conquered the ironing mountain yesterday but have 6 loads of washing to do today so the ironing pile will mushroom again. DH hoovered all downstairs and the stairs and landing. I've run a duster about the place. Must clean the windows in the next few days.

Ds2 and 3 have football matches this morning. DS1 is refereeing DS3's game. The cricket club has a fun day, I sold raffle tickets in the high street with a friend for 2 hours yesterday. We took over £120!

I've taken on a second job, the extra money is going in my Christmas fund.

I hope you all have a good day.

Morning all! Done a load of washing and that's now drying on my airer. Done all the ironing too so all uniform is ready for tomorrow. S is wanting to go to the allotment; think it might be a good idea for me to get a bit more exercise. Have to do an early lunch as then have to take J to the railway station to get the train to get the plane to go to Paris for the week . I would like to try to vacuum today as it looks like people have been walking around with muddy shoes on - again.

Mumto5 6 loads of washing - wow! Well done on the raffle ticket selling too

Bonnie we have a Dyson Animal and I love it - it really gets all the hairs up; the other Bosch we had just couldn't hack it so has been relegated to the garage now to vacuum out the cars.

My new Vax Air Reach (U90 MA R) is proving a whizz at lifting EVERYTHING. And there's a 'hatch' to get at the brush bar anda channel to cut hair off - well two actually - I snip then run and the hair whizzes up into the chamber. I use to have to hand brush the carpets too - not any more!

3 lots of washing on line. Am planning on cleaning litter tray *gets peg for nose* shortly.
