I hate having to cut the hair off the roll and i feel like i can never fully remove all the hair anyways. Posts on this sub have recommended the Shark® POWERDETECT™ Ultra-Light Corded Stick Vacuum, but I would prefer a cordless option if possible.

anyone out there w a vacuum that works for this?

Hi there!

So... My husband and I are currently searching for a new vacuum that might be able to deal with my long hair that sheds like crazy. Our current stick vacuum gets hair wrapped around the roll, and it's super annoying (and kind of gross..) cutting it off. Are there any vacuums out there that are made for this kind of thing? We were looking at pet vacuums initially, but honestly don't know what to look for. If at all possible, a smaller/lighter-weight vacuum would be ideal since we live in a very small apartment, and mostly just use it on our area rug in the living room.

Thanks in advance! :)

Desperately looking for the best cordless vacuum (stick vacuum preferred) with this criteria:

1. Sucking up many long hairs on hardwood floors, low/medium pile rugs, bathroom tile floors and not get tangled (at least not as much as others)

2. Has a long wand capability

3. Can convert into handheld

4. Can last at least 30-45 minutes to do a good job of long hairs and normal dirt sucking (house is about 950 Sq ft)

I was thinking a budget of under $300 originally but I think I’m willing to go all out if it means a vacuum that’s worth it and does all of this and more. The more I like the gadget the more I’ll probably use it and clean more often; this and convenience are the reasons I’d prefer cordless over corded.

Someone had mentioned Shark cordless with Zero-M dual brush for being good for long hair without tangling but I could only find Shark cordless with Power Fin. Is this still best for long hair? I also see it can stand up on its own by folding over and that would be great to have it stand up without needing a wall mount or resorting to laying it on the floor.

I was even looking at the Dyson Outsize Absolute. Is this the best with long hair? If so plus all the other cool features, I’d be interested despite its high cost. And it’s larger container seems good because I’d be too lazy to want to empty it frequently. My assumption is the Dyson Outsize Absolute is overkill but I just don’t know.

Thank you so much, really am looking to purchase as soon as possible.

I have really long hair - hair till my knees! Every vacuum I have ever use gets tangled with the hair and stops working after a while. So before using the vacuum cleaner I have to manually pick out all the hair first - which is a pain!

These days I am thinking of getting a cordless stick vacuum cleaner. They are lightweight and easier to use.

Floor type: hardwood and carpet.

I would appreciate any suggestions! Thanks in advance.
