20 Best Vaccum For Pets (2022 Updated)

Within 1 minute of its’ first use this model #2475 Pet Hair Eraser Turbo had its’ brush roll stop spinning before a small 10×10 foot area was complete. The belt assembly is centre mounted so debris from both sides of the brush roll collects towards its’ centralized belt motor which sits open with nothing to protect it from debris.

This results in it being the furthest thing from the “tangle free” unit it is advertised as. Removal of the head screws holding the bottom cover in place is quite easy so I was able to see what was causing the jam (see picture attached).

The manufacturer claims the unit can accept hair length of 4-8 inches. The longest of the hairs in this pictures is 3 inches, so the job in question should have been well within the manufacturer’s guidelines.

Upon reassembling the base the unit promptly got jammed a second time. After once again removing the clog I decided to give it a different task, cleaning hardwood. This unit has a key feature for those with hardwood floors, its’ brush can turn on/off, saving your hardwood from being scratched by the roller.

Sadly there is very little suction (see video attached). I found without the brush roll spinning the machine picks up essentially nothing. The last major feature this unit is its’ heavily marked “pet hair eraser” attachments.

The Pet Turbo Eraser” is nothing more than the same “turbo brush” or “handi-mate” that has been commonplace on vacuum’s since the 1950’s. The “two in one” pet brush is a traditional fabric brush as is the crevice tool.

There is nothing fundamentally different with these attachments than what is industry standard from most vacuum suppliers. I’ve had Bissell units before, the last being the significantly cheaper “Clearview Alergen Lift-Off Pet Upright Vaccuum.

” It lasted 2 years before dying a few weeks after its warranty expired precipitating the purchase of this Turbo model. All in all a poor vacuum. Don’t buy this.

I LOVE this vacuum. I’ve had it for about 5 years now, I use about 2 times a week. I love all the accessories that came with it. Especially the pet hair attachment. It can’t hold all the accessories that came with it.

I just use a container in the closet to hold the extras I don’t use very often. Everyone in my family including my dog has short hair but I do not. It is my hair that tangles most vacuums. I never had a problem with hair tangles on the brush.

Even if I did, there is plenty of space to get a seam ripper or scissors in and cut the hair away with no issue. I did notice when vacuuming hard surface floors there was a bit of blow back, but it wasn’t much; certainly not a deal breaker unless you are only cleaning hard surfaces.

The belt being 1/3 of the way onto the head, leaves a strip of un-vacuumed floor. However if using a tight V pattern this would not be a problem. I maintain it about ever 2 months. Wash the canister, the filters, the hose, clean the head, there usual spots that get dirty.

It’s easy to maintain, probably why the work horse is still going. I’ve only recently noticed the motor sounding odd. My repair guy says it’s still alive and kicking but to repair it will cost more than a new vacuum.

Amazing vacuum cleaner! My carpet has Never been cleaner and fluffier, brushes and lifts the carpet without destroying it. Easily switch from carpet to hard wood floor. Picks up Everything, dirt, dust, pet food, pet hair, pet dander, broken glass, foot prints, leaving floors spotless.

It’s a little loud, but it’s a vacuum. Quieter vacuums just move or blow the dirt around. Super light and maneuverable, gets in all the nooks, around and under the furniture without much of a work out.

Easy to clean, febreze is refreshing, affordable. Don’t waste your money on Shark, Dirt Devil, or Dyson. The Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Turbo Plus Vacuum Cleaner is the last vacuum cleaner you’ll ever buy.

I wanted to like this vacuum so badly but unfortunately it was just poorly designed. If you want a vacuum that has a functional detachment and can be used on carpet without pulling muscles, this is not it.

First off, It does do a great job cleaning the carpet which is probably how it garnered such good reviews. However, that positive aspect is rendered moot when you can’t even use the vacuum. For example, the auto adjustment for carpet to hard floor that it boasts, hardly works.

Since you can’t adjust the height settings on your own, it sticks way too far down on most carpet and thus is impossible to push around. It did not move with ease on any carpet and needed to be pushed with two arms just to keep it moving.

Furthermore, the hose that detaches for detail cleaning is impossible to use. It has two feet of hard plastic connected to the hose so it doesn’t bend and is rendered unusable unless you want to get corners on a 6 foot ceiling.

Sure, you can use it to vacuum little spaces, if you’re willing to stand three feet away from them and have no mobility or dexterity with the vacuum. I hate to be negative but I don’t want others to get swooned by the design or positive reviews like I did.

Ive used Dyson for the past 20 years. Theyre sturdy, reliable and will keep going for years. I was so pleased to be able to find this model as Dyson seem to be moving away from making cylinders and upright plug in vacuums.

This upright model is really powerful and is perfect for our busy house and constantly malting collie. We have carpets throughout our home which keep our draft old Victorian town house cosy and warm underfoot.

So our Dyson vacuum is in constant use. This model is light and easy to use, especially on flights of stairs. The ball makes it effortless manoeuvring around furniture. It empties easily and cleanly.

There are plenty of attachments including two spinning brush heads, one slightly smaller than the large one on the main part of the vacuum, and a small one which is great for the carpeted stairs. The attachments clip on and off easily and all but the larger brush head can be stored on vacuum ready and at hand to use while your cleaning around the house.

The only downside is the extendable hose and metal tube which are great for reaching difficult areas but are also awkward to use in others. The hose keeps tightening up (I think due to the powerful suction) so its difficult to vacuum away from the main body of the machine.

(My previous Dyson was a cylinder type so I was used to working with it differently. ) All in all, Im very pleased with my new Dyson and I know Ill get used to using an upright again. I love how powerful it is and its always pleasing to feel and see all the muck being pulled out of the carpet so easily.

This is my 5th Dyson machine so I am loyal to the brand. However, this vacuum is horrible… if you want to use it on CARPET. I have a low cut pile in all bedrooms, not a shag, just a normal carpeting.

This machine is so very hard to push, but the most frustrating thing is how the roller just stops randomly, sometimes within seconds, sometimes within minutes. To get it going again, you have to turn the machine off completely, then back on.

And then the process starts all over again. I hate this thing! I can’t speak to all the attachments because I haven’t used any of them since I am definitely sending this machine back. Good suction is terrific, but an upright vacuum should work properly on carpeting since primarily a vacuum is for carpet; this machine obviously has too much suction since it sticks to the floor, won’t move, and shuts down.

To say I’m disappointed is an understatement. The self-adjusting cleaner head, all floors, and whole-home advertising is deceiving. This model is a good choice ONLY if you have NO CARPETING in your home.

I should have read the bad reviews more carefully before purchasing, but I trusted Dyson, and didn’t. Evidently this is a real common problem, because I’m not the only one reporting it. Dyson evidently knows, because seems like they are sending out the same generic reply that it doesn’t work on all carpet when it’s brought up in reviews.

They know, but 1) not fixing the issue and 2) not making that point clear in their “Learn more” details. If you want to vacuum carpet, rethink purchasing this machine.

Ok, we got ours today, unboxing and assembly were super easy. We have a good cordless but with a border collie and two cats in the home something more powerful was needed as well. Right out of the box this vacuum made us very happy! It is much quieter than we expected, and has A TON of suction! I started out on a floor that i had gone over with the cordless earlier in the day, and the bissell was immediately grabbing hair and dirt I could not see.

as I moved around into a different room I could actually see pet hair coming across the floor towards the towards the vac head! The biggest and most pleasant surprise came when I used the pet attatchment on one of the sofas.

in the past bought “pet” vacuums, but none of the pet heads ever worked. the pet head that comes with this vacuum worked very, very well. You have to let it spin up, and then use it should go without saying that you have to use it with short pulls and thus allow it too stay spooled up, and holy cow did it ever work great! did two couches with it in a very short period of time, and I was pleasantly surprised upon inspection that not one bit of hair was would around the roller! there was a ton of that pet hair in the bin though! The bin is super easy to remove and dump, the rewind works exactly as it should, the function buttons are easy to see and use, the edge cleaning capability is better that I have ever seen before in a vac, the unit is light, easy to move around, and has a generous amount of cord.

Now to be fair, this is a day one review, but I have to say I have seen a few negative reviews, (very few) that just don’t add up based on what I’ve seen today. first off, its not a small cordless, and therefore it does not have a tiny low profile beater head.

but overall its low enough to get under most cabinet fronts, (at least at the edge) and coupled with the excellent edge suction thats pretty good. Overall this is a great buy for the price!.

I bought the rewind model 2256. I think it has pretty good suction power, the rotating brush/roller continues to spin, even if in upright position. I liked that because I could use it upright on my stairs.

It has edge bristles which helped get closer to the edge of the carpet by the baseboards. It is light and smooth with the swivel steering. My wrist was a bit sore after using due to the swivel steering.

It requires more hand work to turn direction of the vacuum. The dirt tank filled up quickly and I was impressed with how much dirt and hair it cleaned up in such a short time. The stretch hose is easy to remove and replace.

Tools- the pet turbo erasure tool was disappointing, it doesn’t spin (its has its own smaller rotating brush) once you press lightly on carpet so maybe it’s not made for carpet? It also has its own rubber belt that will need replaced just like on the main rotating floor brush with rubber belt.

The pet corner tool was not useful, only a small tunnel for air to suction, and there are thin felt like straps that don’t seem to offer any cleaning assistance. It still left pet hair in the corner of the tile and didn’t do anything for the carpet corner.

The extension wand is very short, even when you attach the crevice tool to the extension, you will still be bending over or kneeling to clean because it is too short to reach anything. I did not use the dusting brush.

The retractable cord worked for the 2-3 times I used it. The box states the cord is 27 inches long, which is not long enough for me, I must have had a longer cord on my previous vacuum. The dirt tank is easy ro remove and dump out, but once I removed it, there was a lot of dirt & dust underneath it, so it isn’t sealed very well somewhere under there.

Overall it was a decent vacuum, the tools I would likely not use much. I don’t think that this seems to be different than a basic vacuum, there is still pet hair on the tile floors. I will return this product and try something else.

I would not recommend.

This would be a great vacuum, but the design of the belt/belt compartment is terrible. They had to send me a second vacuum only for it to have the same problem. I use this vacuum for upstairs only, once every few weeks.

I have a golden retriever who does shed a fair amount, but that’s why I bought this model, designed for pet households. The suction is great, but I have to unscrew the bottom and clean the belt compartment at every use, otherwise it’ll get that horrible burning smell.

Hair literally gets clogged in the belt compartment only and gets compacted into clumps to the point where it causes the burning smell. In my opinion, a vacuum of this price point, and from a reputable brand, should not have to be taken a part after l every use.

Who has time for that? I honestly have so much anxiety every time I use it because I’m afraid the belt compartment will get too full/snap off and cause that burning smell. It’s the design of these vacuums that seems flawed, as I said this is the second one they sent me with the exact same issue.

Their customer service team is wonderful, and these issues are not their fault. It is a major design flaw for a product that is aimed at households with pets that shed.

I am a vacuuming obsessed weirdo! I just love to vacuum for some reason. I love the before and after and love the feeling of having a nice clean floor. That being said I tried out all kinds of other vacuums while never really finding one that was great until I bought this vacuum.

It’s got everything I wanted in a vacuum! I should have known to stick with Shark because I have an old lift away professional that I’ve had for well over 10 years!. It’s even still going strong after all the abuse I’ve put it through but it’s just time for a new one.

Only reason I tried switching brands is because the upright sharks are quite heavy and I now have stairs in my place that are hard to clean witha a heavy uptight. After multiple failures with other popular brands I found this one that converts into a canister vac making it much lighter to use on stairs.

I’m in love with this thing. It works so well and it’s super powerful with all the bells and whistles that I could ask for. The LED lighting on the pull out wand is a huge plus! Lights up anything I’m trying to vacuum.

I vacuumed my bedroom soon as I got it right after vacuuming with a popular Eureka that I had previously bought and it was amazing what this vacuum picked up that was left behind by the Eureka. Hopefully this one lasts as long as my other Shark did!.

Easy to maneuver and it’s quieter than our old Shark vacuums. This vacuum has some serious suction! The pet hair attachment that it comes with is NOT the motorized one that we were hoping it came with.

It’s the same as the ones that come with most of the older units that operates on suction from the vacuum. This one is very loud because of the powerful suction and sounds like a jet rearing up for take off.

We bought a new motorized pet hair attachment on ebay for less than half the price that Shark wants for it on their site and it does a great job getting pet hair off furniture. Well worth the investment if you have animals that like to shed on everything.

Very good lights on the head that light up the floor in front of you, and there’s also a light on the handle to light up furniture when you use the attachments. It has kind of a small dust cup and does not have anywhere to store the pet hair attachment on the vacuum itself.

This NV752 seems to have the same flimsy dust cup hinges that always end up breaking eventually like the older units too. Overall a really nice vacuum with serious suction that is easy to maneuver. We’ll see how well it holds up over time.

If it weren’t for JB WELD, our old unit would have been retired a long time ago because it tipped over way too easily. This one doesn’t seem to have that problem but we haven’t had it very long. Time will tell.

This is by far the best vacuum we have ever had. It is super versatile and can handle any type of room, rug, stairs, etc. It has a very low head profile, which when separated from the tank, allows you to get under any chair, couch, bed, down to about 4 inches.

You can quickly switch from engaged beater bar, to disengaged, for doing hardwoods, then adjacent rugs, etc. using the hand switch at the handle. The canister holds enough for several rooms worth of debris.

The filters are easy to get to, easy to wash, and do an excellent job of catching any fine particles before they can enter the motor. The HEPA filter is located at the motor discharge, correctly positioned vs some brands that are not.

We usually keep a spare set of the upper filters on hand to insert while we wash and dry the other. Although not self-propelled, it moves with little effort, and if you detach the tank, it actually moves itself.

The only thing I would change would be making available a lighter, more flexible primary wand for doing curtains, blinds, etc. This one is a bit harder in that regard only. Also note, the price here is quite a bit more than elsewhere.

That needs adjustment from Walmart.

Love this vacuum, for being lightweight and cordless it’s extremely powerful and last long enough to vacuum my 1400sq ft home twice, 25-30 mins. I live in a very dusty area so I have to vacuum daily and besides batteries everything works as good as the say I bought it.

I had to replace the battery a few times but if you have the know-how it takes (6x) 18650 batteries that you can swap out yourself or just buy a whole new battery bank. You can find really nice ones on eBay for $30 that actually hold more power than the stock ones.

Just make sure you ask what 18650 battery they use in it. If you don’t ask you will get some no-name random batteries, if you do ask you can get Sony, Samsung, LG, Panasonic, etc. They might charge $5-10 more but it is worth it.

If I remember correctly the original batteries were Sony. Also incase you skip reading the instructions, clean the unit court regularly, I have a friend who has broken 2 of them because he wouldn’t take a few minutes to clean it.

Do not charge it immediately after use, like all lithium batteries it needs to cool down first. Also, don’t run it in extra power mode all the time or you will shorten its life or burn the motor off, its for short boost.

We have Golden Retriever fur tumbleweeds from several dogs, and none of the many supposedly animal-friendly vacuums I purchased worked. Fur wrapped around the roller and either broke or was a time-consuming pain to remove and clean.

The last vacuum broke at the worst time, nine months ago when we moved into a new home with a temporary dirt yard. A friend told me how she loved her animal Dyson cordless stick vacuum. Oh me of little faith, I bought one anyway.

I LOVE IT! The bin is small, but emptying it is a breeze. One of our Goldens sleeps with us and heavily sheds. I use the animal attachment to vacuum the sheets before I make the bed (takes about 1 minute), and it works great.

Very little fur wraps around the roller, and what does comes off so easily. It picks up more fur from the car than the car wash people do. I am a very senior lady with spinal problems and can’t handle heavy vacuums.

This skinny lightweight Dyson enables me to vacuum the whole house without problems. In some reviews, people complain because they have to hold the lever while vacuuming or else it turns off. Silly people! I find this feature easier than continually turning it off and on, and the lever is situated on the handle that makes it easy to keep pressed.

Cordless; I no longer have to worry about tripping or dragging a cord, or changing outlets. In a nutshell, I love everything about this vacuum.

Pleasantly surprised! When I first turned this on, it was pretty quiet compared to the Shark handheld I purchased previously. My immediate thought was, “Uh oh. no power. “, but I was wrong. It’s relatively quiet (cat approved) but the suction is pretty great! It especially picked up cat hair that the Shark had apparently been missing.

The cons: *It’s heavy, so one handed after a while, gets tiresome and awkward. *The canister is clear, so you get to see all the yucky stuff you’ve vac’d up, IMO a smoky color is much better, you can see when you need to clean it without all the gory details.

*Also, I’d love it if it were a wall mount vs. it lying on the floor to charge. *The crevice tool I’m not crazy about, instead of the traditional you’d expect, it’s oval shaped and flat, making it difficult to get up close to table legs, etc.

, It works alright, just would either like a third tool or if this was more pointed so you could get in tight spaces. The Pros: *Relatively quiet, doesn’t freak the cat out! *Good suction *Comes apart easily to clean and goes back together just as easily *Nice carpet tool attachmentOverall, I’m pretty impressed with its performance.

Yes! This hand vac is amazing and not only when dealing with pet fur. It has the standard attachments. But then it has one that sounds like a chainsaw and takes pet hair off better than any cordless hand vac I’ve ever used.

I use it regularly when cleaning my car. Another cool thing is that you can suck up lots of stuff because of the way the opening is. I have drink ware that, instead of shattering, it sort of pops and goes everywhere and each piece is razor sharp.

I use my Bissell to vacuum it up. This way I also know I can get those little pieces of glasses I suck it up and dump it. I love my so much I got my best friend one for her birthday. It’s more than worth the money!.

I just purchased the Dyson Ball Animal 2 and couldn’t wait to try it. The good: The suction power is GREAT. You’ll get more pet hair, dirt and dust out of your carpets and bare floors than you could ever imagine existed.

It was also fairly easy to assemble. The hose and wand connection are pretty innovative. The bad: It feels rather clunky, the stand-up feature takes a few times for it to click into position. The wand handle doesn’t seem like it’s made with a durable material, more like plastic that could break easily and somewhat awkward to click in place.

The ugly – The hose on the vacuum, designed to be used with smaller attachments is very stiff and it’s really hard to use. It takes some muscle to expand, and no sooner than you’ve pulled on it, it recoils leaving you with a very short hose, rendering it very difficult to use for cleaning crevices or other areas that would require an attachment.

It reminds me of a T-Rex with small arms that can’t do much! It seems this is a common problem, and perhaps the hose needs to be “broken in”, some reviews state that this is can be permanent in some cases and never correct itself after years of use.

This is a big fail, from a company that prides themselves in technology and innovation. For what I paid, I expected this to exceed expectations, but I’m underwhelmed and frustrated and can’t give it 5 stars.

I’m still hoping that with more use, the hose will loosen up and serve its purpose. With 30 days to return, the clock is ticking.

I have been a lifelong user of Dyson vacuums from the very earliest days. I have always thought that they are the best. Sad to say that after 2 years of use I cannot say that about the Animal 2. Just for the record we also have the Dyson V6 Animal which my wife uses because of her Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Once a week I will do the heavy duty, top to bottom house clean with the Animal 2. And I don’t look forward to it at all. First of all the positives: 1. Fantastic suction 2. I use all of the heads that can be attached to the hose and are excellent for getting into the difficult spots.

The negatives: 1. This is a heavy machine. Now I keep myself fit but you get a workout from this machine. Because it is heavy it is not the most manoeuvrable. Somebody like my wife who has RA can forget about using this for more than a minute or two.

2. When using it with the hose when the accessories are attached, the machine does not follow easily and more often than not tips over. It is shocking for doing that. I wouldn’t even contemplate using it for the stairs.

3. The hose may be lighter than previous models but honestly does not feel as robust. But so far it has stood two years worth of use. 4. The power cable is sadly far inferior to previous models. It is of cheaper quality and easily gets entangled around the wheels of the vacuum when using the hose and even when using it without the hose.

It may be a longer hose (I think) but it gets tangled so easily. All in all, this is one of the worst Dyson’s we have had.

I CANNOT recommend this vacuum more! This has literally been a savior in our lives and it was so reasonably priced for a change! I’ve spent so much money on so many high end vacuums that promise to get the dog hair off of our upholstery, but nothing and I mean NOTHING works as good as this little handy vacuum! Honestly, even if you don’t have pets, this vacuum is the bomb!!! I detailed my car and used this vac on the interior and it literally got everything I needed to! It had a hard time reaching the corners in my car so I used a standard skinny long nozzle with another vac, to get into the crevices under the seats, but it got the hair and lint off of everything else! I would highly recommend this to any of my family or friends, in fact I ordered a second one for our lake house thinking about getting one for my moms house and my brother’s house.

Don’t hesitate! Order it now, before they realize what a hot item this is and raise the price lol.

All of my fur babies shed, but one should be bald based on the amount of hair he sheds. I had just purchased a new car and normally would get leather seats. BIG MISTAKE getting fabric. and black fabric no less! He had to go to the vet shortly after I got the car.

My seats ended up looking like a black & white tweed! And then I saw this little gem! I absolutely love it! I have only used it on my car seats (as I keep sheets on my furniture to protect them from the hair) and it worked wonders! The only downfall with this is that I wish it had some sort of an extension that you can fit between the seats and into smaller areas around the seats.

Otherwise, I am very happy with it and highly recommend it!.

Okay, so I didn’t read carefully and bought this thinking it was a vacuum to use ON cats/dogs. Oops! Definitely TOO loud, and totally freaked out my 15lb dog when I tried it on her. The 14lb cat witnessed the dog SHOOTING away as fast as possible, so she was wild eyed, watching.

I’m wondering IF there is a much gentler brush-vacuum for cats & dogs! But this did an AMAZING job sucking all hair off my pants that it’s likely worth keeping. Unlike another reviewer tho I found this pretty heavy while using it.

Though I just weighed it, and it’s 3. 4 lbs. That doesn’t seem bad. I’m just a weakling, I guess!.

Purchased this to help with keeping up on cleanup for my 7 month old St Bernard. I will say this little vacuum is decently powerful , however the attachments are not built well. Within 1 week of owning this, the red felt on the bottom of the flat brush came off and was sucked into the vacuum.

I fished them out and tried super gluing them back on but the pieces were damaged when going into the vacuum and will not reattach properly. I really wish Bissell would have used rubber strips instead of felt.

I feel the felt only gathers the hair, and it sticks to the outside of the attachment. I have to lift the vacuum up often to force the hair inside with my fingers. So definitely not the best tool for removing hair that’s stuck into carpet or furniture.

I picked up a cheap rubber squeegee and use this hand vac to suck up the hair. All in all I’m not totally unhappy, but just remember this vacuum might just be one of the many tools you’ll need to keep your pet hair under control.

I will try contacting Bissell to see if they can send out a replacement flat brush.

I ordered this vacuum for myself 3 years ago and recently purchased another for a house warming gift. I use this pretty much for every cleaning job. Clean up kitchen, my bathrooms, car, hard to reach surfaces in my house and garage.

It has had its fare share of rough handling but my goodness. it had never disappointed me. The battery still charges up pretty good with decent amount of backup. The overall quality is pretty rugged but still its portable enough to be used by anyone.

Since we use it much every day, it stay on continuous charging – discharging cycle. I feel like it has already paid its worth. This is one of those items that you don’t realize how much you need it until you buy it.

I have another Bissel vacuum cleaner as well and overall I am happy with the quality they put into their products. I hope this review helps you in your purchase decision.

Just purchased after reading software several reviews, have bought a lot of c***** vacuums in the past passed but also grown up with Kirby’s filter queens and other various expensive vacuums including Dyson most recently.

Believing that there is an affordable vacuum that does a great job out there, I read that this vacuum has good suction and has some nice features including pet tools and Hepa features, Which I liked as an allergy sufferer.

I have not had the vacuum along but my 1st impressions which give it 4 stars included impressive impressive, very impressive pretty impressive suction, Enough toChange the direction and fibers on an older carpet that have become relatively stiff and other vacuums I eat my old one wouldn’t even budge on moving.

So on this front I would say good job Bissell. Other features I liked included the lights which were LED and lit up everything in front of the vacuum really well the ease of detachment of the Accessories and canister which was relatively easy to empty and reinsert.

The vacuum well slightly heavy does maneuver and corner very well the design is dynas obviously modern and following Dyson standards on that front. I have no comment on reliability as the vacuum is new but it could become 5 stars or drop to 3 from where I stand currently and based on its reliability.

From my short time at the vacuum I vacuum I don’t believe the critical reviews on this site are accurate at all.

I normally don’t review products like this, but I HAD TO do this for my pet owner friends (and strangers). My husband actually chose this vacuum (I’m a sucker for the crosswave, personally), but this vacuum blew my mind! I have two large and hairy dogs (think Great Pyrenees) and one very hair bunny.

Most vacuums don’t do well with dog hair. Most vacuums cannot clean up hay from the bunny’s room (she roams freely). But this vacuum is amazing!! With one vacuum of our area rug in the living room, I was amazed.

We vacuum and use a rug doctor on the carpet regularly, but it was like a whole extra layer of dirt we didn’t see before was lifted by this vacuum. A lot of indoor rabbit owners struggle with cleaning up hay and rabbit hair, especially during molting season.

I use this vacuum every few days to clean up piles of hay and hair, and the vacuum DOES NOT get clogged! That’s amazing! It does not suck up large (6inches+) strands of hay, but it gets everything else and leaves my bunny’s room clean.

I highly recommend this vacuum to anyone with a pup, a bun, or any animal! On top of all the cleaning abilities, it comes with the best attachments, has a light for guiding, is lightweight (I’m petite and I can lift it), and is surprisingly quiet!.

I bought this after a lot of thought as it was quite a lot of money to spend on a vacuum. It has been a year since I bought this Dyson and I can confirm it is worth every penny. Upon arrival, the Dyson was boxed neatly and securely.

Inside the box there was the vacuum itself and all its attachments – one for every household need. It also came with its charger and wall mount for those who want to wall mount the charger. I charged the vacuum up for about 4 hours and it reached its full charge (3 blue bars).

Straight away I loved that the vacuum was extremely easy to put together and the attachments were all straightforward enough. You have 3 strength / suction settings on the Dyson (I usually stay on the middle one for my hard-wearing carpets and the low one for my linoleum floors) which you can easily increase / decrease with the sliding button.

I have bad mobility issues so I had to choose a vacuum carefully, the one thing I love about this Dyson is that it’s very lightweight and flexible. Another perk is how easy it is to empty and clean the vacuum.

The main downside for me, is that you have to keep a hold on the button for the vacuum to operate, it would be great if all you had to do was push it to turn the vacuum on then push again to turn it off.

If you have arthritic hands or a hand disability I don’t think it would be a suitable vacuum for you as it can tire the hand a little bit. The vacuum picks cat hairs up excellently, it always amazes me at how much it collects as the carpets never look that bad, but the vacuum says otherwise! For me, the battery lasts about 30-45 minutes which is perfect time.

If you need a bit more time and don’t want to wait 4 hours on the vacuum charging all you need is a second battery! If you buy a second battery then you’ll get 60-90 minutes of operating time which is sure to be enough time to vacuum your home from top to bottom.

Overall, this vacuum is excellent and really lives up to its claims and description. The quality is fabulous and it doesn’t feel cheap, it is very sturdy. It’s a great investment, especially if you have mobility issues (other than hands).

Got it for my mom for Christmas. She’s elderly and has been using the same heavy vacuum for over 30 years. It broke down again a month b4 Christmas. I knew what I had to do, get her a Dyson! Best deal I found was at Canadian Tire on boxing day and, the V10 happened to be on sale.

As soon she opened it and charged it, I knew I had to try it out. I vacuumed the carpeted living room and I couldn’t believe the stuff coming out of the carpets that already looked clean. The way the head articulates, makes it very easy to get around furniture legs and reach deep under couches.

Also did a great job on tiles and wood floors. I vacuumed the whole house and the living room twice. When done I still had some juice left and the brush/roller underneath still looked clean and no hairs stuck in it.

Next I used the dusting attachment to clean all the drapes, blinds in and around and on top of window sills and doors, inside the house and in the garage. Nope, still going. I then used the same attachment to clean all my electronics, behind tv’s, plugs, computers, keyboards etc.

Finally, after all this the battery ran out. I am highly impressed with it’s suction power, battery life and ease of use. Mom loves the vacuum but, needs two hands to use it. The position of the handle puts too much stress on her tiny wrists and mine.

The handle extending towards the top would help with wrist fatigue. Other then that, this is the best do it all vacuum I ever used.

IšverstiShow in original languageWorked very well at first on carpet and we have 3 cats and a daughter with long hair. To clarify we only have 3 bedrooms and a landing and carpeted stairs so it’s not like I have been vacuuming the whole house for 6 months, but this is the 3rd time I’ve had to clear all the hair out of the brush.

The attachment hose no longer sucks anything with barely any suction. Checked the filters all okay. Had to manually clear a large plug of dust that formed a clog in the area at the bottom above the brush and it went way up.

Appeared cleared as far as I could go but it still isn’t sucking hardly anything up so it’s got to be clogged somewhere else in the vacuum. I’m the only one who uses it and I know I’ve not vacuumed up any objects or wet stuff.

Very disappointed. I think they need to redesign that suction entry point and maybe make it larger or out of something that’s not plastic. Almost seems the flexible plastic tube/air tunnel is overheating maybe and causing the dust and hair to ‘mat’ into the shape of it.

Gross. Going in the garbage tonight.

IšverstiShow in original languageI needed to replace my old heavy vacuum from several years ago. First I had borrowed a friend’s dyson animal vacuum just to try it, and since our carpet is a little higher pile, I was really afraid it was going to damage our carpet.

When I would slow down, it felt like I was trying to take a toy away from a dog. So I called the family owned carpet business where we had purchased all types of flooring for many years, and they suggested the Bissell.

He explained the vacuum needed to just go over the top, viabrate, and extract the dirt that way, or it could damage the threads. It needed to have a manual adjustable head to do that, since the automatic sensor ones like in other vacuums don’t work as well in doing that.

He was correct. On the Bissell, I use the knob to turn it to the height adjustment on my carpet or hard floors and it works wonderfully. The amount that was picked up in the cannister compared to my old vacuum was amazing.

It’s very easy to remove the cannister, take it to the trash can, and press the button to open the bottom to remove the dirt too. The vacuum is much lighter than the old vacuums, and stays put when putting it back up upright to store (the dyson would fall occasionally and had to redo the upright position a couple of times.

I like the way the vacuum easily swivels too. We have a house with large rooms, and it works in all of them including right next to baseboard in carpeted rooms, and in the kitchen, and right along side the cabinets.

(A little longer cord would be nice, but this one works fine. ) I also liked the attachment to clean the stairs. Since the vacuum is light, it’s easy to move up and down that area. The price was the kicker on top of it all.

So much more affordable. So. even if it does last a slightly shorter time than the other highly advertised brands, you haven’t broke the bank buying a vacuum. Great vacuum – the locally owned flooring center was right! Bissell is the brand to purchase for many reasons!.

IšverstiShow in original languageI’m not easily impressed, but this vacuum impressed me. I have six cats, and I’ve been using an older model Dyson Animal vacuum, and I thought it was still doing just fine.

My wife, however, complained that the Dyson was too hard to push (she rarely vacuums) so I finally gave in and decided to buy a new vacuum. I was concerned about the low price for this one, assuming that higher prices mean better quality, but I was swayed by the good reviews.

I used the old Dyson yesterday, and today I used my new Bissell for the first time. Holy smokes, what a difference! I vacuumed the same carpet, and had to empty the canister twice because it picked up so much cat hair the Dyson had left behind.

This is a great vacuum, especially for the affordable price!.
