Which pet hair vacuum do you use?

[happylabs]

I bought a Bissell last year and am VERY pleased with it. It is not the pet hair one but it works great. It has the easy empty dirt container with lock and seal lever. I am not at home so I can't check the exact model but it is an upright and is bagless. I am amazed at how much hair and dirt this thing picks up. I had a Hoover canister with a bag previously and it did not work well on the pet hair. I bought mine at Walmart and the price was very reasonable. I have never used the Oreck.

I have a kenmore elegance, it was the consumers choise 2 years ago. Its was about $300 and I dont like it. It is a bagless because every 2 days I can fill the canister with 2 huskies hair and the hair left over from grooming a few dogs a week. I would like it a whole lot more if there were no filter in the canister as every time I fill it you have to stick your arm in the canister which is filthy and pull the hair away fron the filter, a pain. Great suction though. I originally when to buy a dyson, but my fiance got sticker shock. lol. The vacuum may work better for different kind of dog hair as husky, or shepherd type dogs have really fluffy undercoat. Im sure with beagle ot lab hair it would work a whole lot better

We have a Dyson Animal and I think it's awesome and is the best over all vacuum we've ever owned (I have very furry dogs!)

I don't use it much now that we have pergo flooring, I usually just sweep but it does have a bare floor setting that works well too.

I think you'll find quite a few people will endorse the Dyson here at PT. It's pricey, but well worth it!

I love my Dyson.

I have the Bissell Pet Hair and I love it. I paid $119 for it at Walmart. I would love to have a Dyson but I cant justify the cost. To many other things we need that are way more important.

I loved my Oreck but it was an upright with no attachments. I had to get out the small cannister vacuum that came with it so it was double work. I still use it on occasion for quick fixes. But I SWEAR by my Electrolux. It's worth every penny and I was able to take it out on time. The only problem is that the bag is small, but then, again, I have lots of dog hair to contend with.

I have the Bissell pet and so far I love it. I can't believe how much it picks up every time we use it. We had a Hoover that worked real well but I couldn't keep Impeller blades from getting damaged since whatever you picked up went through the blades before going to the filter. With the Bissell everything goes through the filter first.

When we were researching the Dyson I came here to PT and read others thoughts on it. That's another reason we went with it.

And I always use the barefloor setting. I don't sweep anymore. This vacuum is so powerful when you vacuum on hardwood it pulls hair and dirt from under things and you can actually see the stuff being sucked into it. And I love the hose attachment part too. It's so easy and everything is right there on the vacuum. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!

I paid full price for my Dyson Animal and I have no regrets. I LOVE IT.

We have the Dyson Animal. Love it!

Man... All this vacuum talk makes me want a Dyson Animal.. I can't believe how many of you all have them and are all so happy with it. Maybe when our's starts to bite the dust... we'll look into one. Now all I have to do is cross my fingers and do some effective persuading.

I originally went with the Oreck because it was so lightweight. I had a Hoover Wind Tunnel before that, and not only didn't it do a good job, but it weighed a ton, and I couldn't handle it after my back surgery. I never had a Kenmore that lasted more than a couple of years, and normally Kenmore products are great. I even talked my "cheapy" brother in to an Oreck - after he said they weren't worth the money.

I have pergo flooring so Mister and I arent any help......

We have a yellow bissell that comes with the pet paw for furniture. Honda sheds year around horribly and I think it works great!!! Cheap bissells suck but when you put a decent amount of money in, they work good!

Macy's has the DC18 Dyson Slim for $249 on closeout on their website.

Here is the link. It says $299, but when you add it to your cart, you save $50.
