Vacuum cleaner AKICOLJ

[ladyofastolat]

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.

We got a new Dyson recently, I'd had an upright Dyson, non animal for years & it coped fine with pet hair until it stopped working totally. Now we have a Dyson Animal Cylinder one, I forget which model & it's fantastic. Personally I prefer uprights, but Bacchus has a bizarre dislike of them, so I went with a model he liked to remove that excuse for not using it. Miele are a good brand, & are top of the range for most household goods, but I don't think anyone does better vacuums than Dyson IMHO.

I'm another happy Animal user. And agree about the deep clean needed from time to time. Also you do need to empty them when they get to the line, which they do very, very, frequently. I swear that directly hoovering the animals would be a good idea, which is probably why the animasl are scared of it.
