Vacuum Cleaners -which?

[Skandiminsk]

Hi everyone!
Please could you help me by recommending a really good vacuum cleaner with a hard brush to pick up cat hair from carpets & upholstery. It still needs to be good after at least 2yrs of constant use?

I have 3 cats & a dog but dog doesn't malt. I'm getting rid of my Henry hoover as it's heavy going up/down stairs with it, otherwise it is a good vac. Had a purple Vax, but the brush was too soft & the upholstery spinny thing stopped working as it got clogged with hair & so did the rotator on the main vac. Even when you unclogged the hair, it didn't spin all the dirt into the cylinder.

This thread is a bit old now, so if you have landed here looking for recommendations, we recently updated our best vacuum cleaner buyers guide, featuring the best cordless, cylinder and upright vacuums, tried and tested by Mumsnet.

We hope you find this useful.

Shark pet lift away. I love its its much cheaper than the handheld and upright dysons we had and much better.

I'd forgotten that I posted on here..well in the end I bought a Sebo. I love it, carpet on my stair comes up much better than my upright vax. It's so light & very manoeuvrable, sits on the stairs without falling off! It's well built too 👍
