Pet hair... which hoover?

Laura~

We went the Dyson pet version - hypoallergenic too but in the end it was rubbish. Go for Miele - simply fantastic. Does what it says on the tin.

We've had two top of the range Dyson machines, both we're useless after a few months. Will never go near them again.

We've got the Miele too - find it very good.

We'd a Dyson for 4 years and 2 big hairy dogs.
It used to pull the hair right out of the carpet and worked perfectly until an encounter with a helpful six year old cleaning up a complicated mess burned out the motor!

Every four months, there's a filter inside that must be washed.
Dyson suggest six months, but if you've critters in the house,
3-4 months is more realistic.
Always worth checking if the Dyson seems to lose its power.
It's the round one. Wash in warm water. and leave to dry completely
before putting it back in.

We have a beagle whose hair gets everywhere and into absolutely everything..
Have a Phillips Hoover at the moment which is good for everything else but does nothing for the dog hair..
Does anyone else have a beagle and has a Hoover that does the trick for their hair??

Get a Henry, you can't go wrong with one of those. They make one for animal hair but I wouldn't bother, the ordinary one does the job.

Got a Henry pet vacuum last year and its a fantistic machine. Can't recommend it highly enough. It's an industrial type machine, can take a tumble and keep on smiling!

baby gates so they cant get up stairs and wooden floors downstair plus groom groom groom plus give the dogs more time out the back and walks so they dont blow der coats out as much
