Which vacumn cleaner have you got.?

[lilacben]

I am so fed up with my cleaner not doing a good job of picking up.! I have two dogs, both rough collies, so a lot of fur long and short. My cleaner is not picking it up. Would like to hear of outher owners with pets.

Don't have a pet but I do have the best cleaner in the world. It's a Miele and the suction is unbelievable.the suction is controlled by a six position switch and I've never used numbers 5 & 6, theyr'e just too powerful ! Miele make a model especially for pet hair, I think the model is S516

I am looking for a new vacuum cleaner and am watching here for recommendations.
I would be grateful if you could explain 'too powerful'

We recently borrowed a Henry to clean up after some DIY and it is was brilliant - would have thought that it would be a great everyday vacuum cleaner but I think they only come with the pole bit which I supposed could be a bit of a pain (but the ordinary Henry's are only about £90 which seems quite a bargain)

I have a very old Dyson which picks up my long-haired cat's fur (loads of it) and my long curly hair (loads of it).

[ummmm]

I have a stand up Dyson. Very good but too heavy.

I want one of the small Dyson Balls....

I have 3 dogs and a cat and have tried Henrys', Dyson and Miele and the Miele is much the best - really good suction and several strong settings. I bought a Dyson a while back because a friend who also has dogs was very happy with hers but mine was very disappointing - it really didn't seem to pick up much at all.

there's not a vacuum cleaner in the world to match a Sebo ~ promise!

got mine at a John Lewis store 10 years ago and it's never ler me down. Quality stuff.

Get a Dyson "Animal" it is the mauve one.

with apologies to Iilacben,this is for scotman.I have a large rug,approximately 8'x4'. If the cleaner is set on 5 or 6 it's quite capable of lifting the rug off the floor, impressive but not practical. A setting of 2 is sufficient to clean the rug. I believe Miele's video shows it's not only capable of lifting pets hair,it can lift the pet as well.

Many thanks everyone for your replies. I am now going to look online and see what there is in the different makes. I do like an upright that is the only problem. Just wondering if they are not really the best to have now.?

Hi, if you go on the ?Which magazine website they give detailed info on cleaners, that's how I got mine, which is a Sebo, agree with Dustybun, it's brilliant, my carpets look like new.

Morphy Richards from ASDA. best one Iv'e ever had. bagless. Had all them fancy expensive ones. this is great

I have a Sebo, without a doubt the best vacuum cleaner I have owned, and there have been many. It is light, manoeuvrable and my "Felix" has interchangeable brush heads, one for carpets and the other for hard floors. It picks up what the Dyson has left behind!

We have a Dyson ("bug" style, not upright style), wooden floors, and two dogs and it never misses a thing!
