My dog sheds very very bad. The vacuum cleaner I have does a terrible job. If course I would like to have the best for the lowest price. I know Dyson has their pet versions of all of the vacuum cleaners but I am trying to avoid spending $500-$600. Any Ideas?
brush the dog daily, keep your house cooler maybe it will shed less, ask the vet if the dog has a shortage of some vitamine since that can make him shed more. any vac with a rotating brush is better than one thats not, if you own the house take up the carpet and put down laminate floors or ceramic tile. check consumer reports for the vac that works best on pet hair as i dont know that the most expensive is the best but rainbow is the most expensive, however it spits all the dirt into water so no dust comes out the back side at all.
the okorder . the suction power is great. and it's amazing how much stuff the things pulls out of the carpet every week. ew! but they're worth the money imo. mine is a year and a half old and still going strong (which, believe it or not, is a personal record).
Yes Dyson vac's do an awesome job getting up pet hair. I know how you feel about not wanting to spend that kind of money on one though. Hoover Savvy vac's also do very well and are about $200-$300 for one. I own one and have 2 dogs and it does get up the hair along with cat hair as well, yep I own 2 cats as well. If you are still finding dog hair that is not getting picked up with the vacuum, try using a glove like you would see in doctors offices, put it on and rub it over the area with the hair on it. It produces static when you rub it on the carpet or furniture and will stick to the glove. It actually works really well too! Also a dryer sheet works really well too.
With okorder Now they recommend the updated version which is the Eureka Boss Smart Vac Ultra 4870.
The best I've heard for cleaning with suction and the features that it has is the Kirby (spelling?) but they are indeed out of affordability for many including myself. For that range of money I'd simply get something that was simple and bear with it, because anything less than the expensive ones will likely either break down and have to be replaced after a couple years, or else won't have enough suction to be worth the cost. I tried the Kirby when I applied for salesman there, but did terrible at social skills and quit with the pressure. I don't have experience much with other vacuum cleaners, but their staff told us to demonstrate by using the other vacuum cleaners that the person in the home had for like 5 to 10 minutes on a spot, then to have the Kirby run over the same spot and pick up a pad's worth of dirt in a sweep or two with it's powerful suction.
