DOG HAIR What is the best upright vacuum to get up dog hair on hardwood floors and some carpet?

That's my question. I'm wondering if you ever found the answer. I have 4 dogs and 2 cats. I use a shop vac now, which works great but it blows hair that I haven't gotten to yet all over the place and up on my counters.

I really like my Bissell Pet Hair Eraser both hand held and upright vacuum.However, the upright vacuum cleaner does not hold much.

This is awesome on carpets and furniture, but not so good on bare floors. It will suck up big stuff, but it doesn't do nearly the job that a canister vac with the brush does. The lift-off option is great and with the pet attachment it's a breeze to get hair off of the stairs, but if there is sand on the stairs you would need to lug the whole vacuum to do an adequate job. No bags, like the dyson, and very easy to clean.

The Everholder FURemover Broom may be the solution. I have several dogs and cats and deal with lots of hair and litter. I use this broom every day and it works better than any other broom I've ever tried. It's sturdy and hair and litter doesn't fly around when you're sweeping. Definitely worth a try.

Best vacuum I have ever owned for pet hair. It has great suction. I have only owned it a short while, but I have had no problems with smell. Plus, it gets both bulldog hair and golden retriever hair.

I have successfully vacuumed up pieces of thread with the Bissell, but it is not strong enough of a motor to handle dog hairs! You need a bigger vacuum cleaner for that kind of job, I'm afraid.

It works AWESOME on stairs. Does a terrific job picking up pet hair and overall cleaning.

We don't have a pet in the house. Our son has 2 Labs and he has the Dyson model that advertises it's niche for dog hairs. I don't know the model no.

This Hoover vacuum does a super job picking up dog hair in a "flash," it's low on noise, easy to clean and lightweight. I have not tried stairs. My guess is the vacuum will do just as good a job. Give it a try.

It works great on hardwood floors I use it primarily for that. I have two Alaskan Malamutes and we have lots of fur all over the place. I love this Oreck because it lightweight and picks up all the hair without having to run it over the same place many times.

I have a giant husky/shepherd mix and stairs. For hard floors, I would suggest one of the hard floor accessories (sold separately). The power head works on hard floors, but its made for carpet. The best part about this for stairs is the retractable cord. I plug it in at the bottom, and then work from the top down, retracting the cord as I go and I don't worry about tripping on a tangled mess. For hair in general, this vacuum has no 90deg angles for long dog hair ball up and clog. I used to clog a bagless upright every time I used it. I haven't had a single clog with this.

I love this vacuum. I purchased this when we replaced our carpet with wooden floors. Our dog sheds quite a bit. It works very well with picking up pet hair on hard floor surfaces. You will have to clean filter areas monthly to keep suction up to par. You won't be disappointed.

While we do not have med. pile carpet, ours is probably low nap, we are very happy with how it cleans up after our indoor dog, a lab who seems to manage to loose half her body weight in hair. A really great vacuum cleaner that you will not regret buying despite it's cost. Our daughter bought the same vacuum based on our experience.

Works great picking up dog hair off the bare floor and carpet. However, the attachments aren't as effective on my couch (our dog lays on the floor, up against the couch).

Yes it works great on hardwood floors, I also use it to vacum my tiled kitchen. I think it would work on cat hair great. I have a Black Lab and this vacum has great attachments just for the pet hair.

my use is to remove dog hair, especially on carpeted stairs where its hard to vacuum well. However, the rake does a good job of raising the nap of the carpet.

dirt dog doesnt have a suction but is a sweeper....it's terrific and i also have a dog in the house....i have wood floors and tiled floors...it works great on both.............i use dirt dog on my patio outside and also use it on the garage floor....i am amazed how it works and cleans such a big area even without virtual walls........but it does have a problem on fringed carpets...i just tuck them under.....i am looking to get a vaccum roomba for house and keep my dirt dog for patio and garage.....but it works great in house too.....

Yes, the Dyson can pick up long dog hair. The trick is to periodically clean the roller in the vacuum head. I sew a lot and threads often accumulate on the floor. The Dyson vacuums them up too. But sometimes the very long pieces wrap around the roller rather than going into the dirt bin. This brand of vacuum is the best I have ever had, it has extremely good suction. You will love it.
