Thank you for all the ideas. Did I mention that I HATE dealing with attachments! Oh, I guess I should mention that I am a wee bit lazy too!

The thing I have right now not only gets the brush clogged easily but also the little flapper thing that leads to the canister. Definitely not made for the pounds of cathair that accumulate DAILY!

I do LOVE my Swiffer mop, maybe I'll have to give the vac a try too!
