Best Hoover

[Stoney666]

For loads and loads of golden retriever hair

I've had a Miele Cat and Dog for 4 years now, and it's coped with daily hound-hair hoovering - Miele C&D usually come out pretty high in consumer tests.

If I had to see how much filth was being swirled around in a Dyson I might just move out.

Our puppy is coming home with us next weekend and I have ordered a Miele Cat and Dog especially (currently have a Dyson but I don't rate it). But then I have also ordered a Bissell carpet shampooer and a paw plunger to try and hold on to my clean house - this puppy will not beat me!

I think I'm the only person on MN who really rates the Dyson Animal. We had a Henry before that which was rubbish in comparison. Never tried the Miele mind you

we have the dyson animal and it copes really well with our golden retreiver and husky which together equal hair ,mountains

My Dyson Animal did really well until it met the inside of the PC and then it died On the one hand I no longer need a new PC otoh I now need a new hoover

I'm not sure whether I did well or not?

Will be watching the thread though, although the Dyson picks up well, this is the third one I have had, they seem to die every 3-5 years.

Hmmm, I love my upright Dyson and can't help but wonder if the people that moan about them clean the filters as recommended. Maybe that's unfair though!

Filters you say?

Where would one find this filter and would cleaning it revive my Dyson? It won't turn on. It just switched itself off halfway through hoovering the PC and refused to turn back on.

Ive been looking at getting a 'furminator' de-shedding comb, for my dog, that should cut a lot of hoovering out OP?

Here you go D0oin - you can pick your model and it will show you

Dyson support

Also, depending on how long ago you did it it may just need to cool down. Mine did this one year when DH used it to vacuum the pine needles from the Christmas tree.

Henry.

The miele is an awesome beast.

I have a Dyson Animal and a Mile Cat & Dog. The Dyson sits unused as the ancient Miele pisses all over it.

Miele - sorted my allergy to the cat's hair. Worth every penny. my friend grooms her lab in the park - helps keep the tumble weed down and gives the birdies something comfy for their nests

My puppy's not too furry yet but the miele cat and dog is great! And you can get cute pics of the dog in the box... or is that just me?

If your dyson is dying every 3-5 years you need to be calling them and getting an engineer out as they have a 5 year parts and labour guarantee. The average lifespan for a dyson is 7 years and 1 in 3 households apparently have one so you can't go wrong! Although I am a little biased

Another vote for the dyson here I've got the dc animal cylinder and its fab. Feels a bit more flimsy than my old dyson but then it has the swivel ball thingy. It picks up my shaggy dog hair with ease on carpet, rugs and floor although it does try and suck up my Lino all the time..

Yes. But Miele give you 10 years and you never use it because they don't die at all

The only reason I have a shiny new Dyson is that I was fed up of the same engineer visiting regularly. So Dyson have up and sent a new one.

Vacuum .... Not engineer.

To be fair, my dads dyson is 20 years old ths year and has never broke down. Not sure he vacuums as much as he should though

Is it a Dyson 1? Original Dysons don't die. All descendants do. I think James panicked when he realised inkillable vacuums don't make £££££s

Yeah it's a DC01, practically an antique nowadays! Logically though, one that breaks down costs dyson more money as they have to send out an engineer every time, certainly while it's under warranty anyway! I will not be swayed from my dyson

weasel I'm so disappointed by your clarification. Had a great image of you on the phone telling them you were bored of the engineer and to please send a different one, like Dyson is some sort of escort agency

I've got a Morphy Richards hypoallergenic and its fabulous , although my dog has his hair clipped really short so not a massive problem . I'm also not a fan of Dysons , have had uprights and cylinders and never really loved them . However I have a Dyson handheld which is excellent and have just bought a Dc35 animal , because my mum ha sone and they're lovely.

another dyson fan here i have four cats and a dog and it picks the hairs up brilliantly a bit heavy to use but worth it
