Best hoover for picking up dog hairs

[LD_DOLL1611]

Can anyone recommend a hoover that is good for picking up dog hairs.
I have a border collie (my first dog) and did not realise how much hairs they shed and my carpets are totally covered in them.

I have wooden floors with rugs scattered about and at the moment I have a Henry which is great except the hose keeps detaching, Is a Miele cylinder any good on wooden floors?

[jd_here]

A Meile is good for anything, you can't get a better vacuum cleaner

[gingejbee]

Yes, and if you want a very, very good washing-machine (and don't mind paying premium price), Miele can't be bettered.

miele or bosch, the germans have it.

As a slight add on question, is there a good hand held one to get cat hairs off sofas?

I do put a blanket over the sofa but people always take it off to sit down and don't put it back again so the sofa ends up covered.

[Ankou]

why do you need hand held ? the hose on my miele does the sofas well.

[milly143]

Cos it's a pain in the backside lugging the henry out of the cupboard every day.

[Ankou]

ah, the miele is quite compact and lightweight.

i have a henry and a hand held in the garage - mainly for the car and for builders bits/decorating etc - but wouldn't say handhelds are really that good, you'd get better results with a penis pump!*






* not that i have tested this theory in any way

[milly143]

ha ha ha.

Not sure we have a penis pump lying round the house, but if I come accross one I will give it a try. On the cat hair of course!

Nothing gets up all the dog hairs. A big damp sponge is the only real solution.
