I have a two dogs and two cats, and the amount of pet hair I have is overwhelming to clean. I currently have a Dyson stick vacuum which I love, but it doesn’t cut it for this.
I am looking for a vacuum that can handle a lot of pet hair, a vacuum that a professional cleaner would use for this purpose. I am willing to pay top dollar for a good reliable and effective brand
Budget: no limit
Floor type: carpet and hardwood
Approx. square footage: 2200; half carpet half hardwood

How do you clean a pet vacuum?
Consult your user manual for the most accurate information, but most models can benefit from regular filter cleaning, checking the brushroll for blockages, and removing any debris that's built up.
Are robot vacuums good for pet hair?
Robot vacs are a great way to pick up loose pet hair before it becomes embedded in carpets. Run them daily or every other day for the best results to help capture shed hair and whatever dirt and debris our favorite furry friends trek throughout. However, they don't work on stairs or elevated surfaces. With pets around you'll also want to consider options with advanced obstacle detection for the errant toy or worse, accident, sprinkled about the house. Auto-empty stations also help automate the cleaning task so you'll only need to clean out the collected debris, for one less thing to have to baby-, we mean, pet-sit.
What is the difference between a pet vacuum and a regular vacuum?
Many vacuums that aren't specifically marketed for pet hair work just fine, but the main features that qualify as the best pet vacuums are strong suction, excellent filtration, and specialized cleaner heads and attachments.
We desperately need a new vacuum. We have three indoor dogs (two Labs and a Shih Tzu) and ALL hardwood floors. Our home is 2,000 square feet. We pride ourselves on having a very clean home — our RoboRock runs every night, and we deep clean (sweep, vacuum, mop, dust — the whole 9 yards) every Friday. Well, long story short, I am HIGHLY disappointed in the Bissell. We sold a rug that had been used in our home for less than 6 months and the buyer said they had two canisters of dirt and pet hair come out of the rug when they got home. I’m embarrassed more than anything! We keep a clean home and vacuum very regularly, so I’m mortified that it was so dirty. We are in the market for a new vacuum that is:
corded
can seamlessly go from hard floors to rugs
picks up dirt and dog hair
doesn’t tangle dog and human hair
preferably less than $350, but willing to go higher if we need.
TIA!
I have my first golden and he is amazing. The literal only issue is that my little man sheds so much hair. I brush him once a day but after 24 hours the floors are already covered in his white hair.
Currently I use an older Dyson vacuum and it works okay but it’s pretty big and clunky.
Any other good reliable brands people could recommend?
