Need a Vacuum For Pet Hair? Look No Further

By Hugh G. Wang

There are many pet owners around the world, and for good reason. Pets are lovable animals, that for many, are like their own children. However, like children, pets need to be cleaned up after, and often it is much more burdensome than just picking up toys. Pets leave all kinds of hair and dander all over your carpet and floors, creating potential problems with allergies and asthma. Thus, it is absolutely critical that one cleans up as effectively as possible after their pet. Cleaning up after a pet is easier said than done, as pet hair and dander is not exactly an easy pickup, requiring you to have a vacuum cleaner that is best suited for such a job. Choosing what vacuum cleaner you need to most effectively clean up your pet hair, and make breathing easier again is not an easy task, as there many vacuums on the market.

While some provide attachments dedicated to cleaning pet hair, they may not be as effective as they claim. The first thing that any pet owner should consider when shopping for a vacuum is that in general, upright vacuum cleaners are more effective in getting the job done. Their motorized heads, turbobrushes, or electrobrushes are specifically designed to cater to the clean up of pet dander.

Of all the models on the market, there are a few that you should consider, which are the Dyson DC14 and DC15 Animal, and the Miele TT5000 Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner for Cats and Dogs. While the Miele is a cylinder vacuum, it does have the necessary brushes needed to effectively clean cat and dog dander. The Dyson model has received excellent reviews, particularly from those with pets. These three models have been highly recommended by both experts and consumers alike, making their purchase a no brainer.

One of the great things about the Miele vacuum is that they have two turbo brushes, which is what causes pet hair to be removed without issues. The Miele is moderately expensive, but worth every penny if you have an animal in the house. The Dyson uses a mini turbine head, which makes the clean up of pet hair a very simple task.

With so many vacuum cleaners on the market, it is understandable that most consumers get frustrated, and just pick up whatever is on sale. However, why would anybody spend money on something that doesn't even get the job done. That is why it is important to consider your needs, and if you have pets, you should definitely get either the Dyson or the Miele vacuum.
