Can anyone recommend a good vacuum cleaner that copes well with cat fur? We've had an upright Dyson Animal for the last however many years, but it's really not working at all well any more. I don't have strong feelings on whether it's upright or low, hunched and creeping, or whether it uses bags or anything else (though Pellinor might have a preference, I suppose); I just want to be able to whizz around the house as infrequently as I can get away with, and magic away all the catty fur in one fell swoop. I'm prepared to pay for this. Preliminary research indicates that Miele Cat and Dog cleaners get a lot of praise online, but even then, it's confusing, since there are several different models, and very little guidance on what the differences are between them, beyond price.
