My trusty Dyson is starting to lose the never ending battle against dog/cat hairs so I'm in the market for a replacement. Before I just blindly buy another Dyson I wanted to check if anybody has found the gold standard of hoovers to cope with pet hair?
Requirements-
mixture of carpets and wooden floors in the house so must switch between both easily.
Must be robust as it'll get used daily and we have 2 (shedding) dogs, a long haired cat and a grubby toddler.
I prefer an upright.
I don't the cylinder on the little battery powered ones would manage a full house clean so possibly not those.
Thanks in advance!

My Dyson cordless v11 animal beats my Henry corded hands down for picking up cat and dog fur out of the rugs. I have done comparisons! I held out for ages about getting another Dyson (previous one was ancient and I didn't want to spend a fortune) but I can honestly say it's brilliant. Can just wizz round in minutes and it sucks up all the fur and dust (that others leave behind).

I am on my third Miele Cat and Dog. They last about twelve years in a four-bedroom house. Cylinder but brilliant for dog hair. When I bought it, it was tested against a Dyson and was better.

I've tried vax and dyson but my £100 Henry beats them all.

Sebo Felix Pet. I have had it for about 12 years. 2 labs. It uses bags - possibly 1 a month - and I replaced all the filters once a couple of years ago.
love it - as much as I could love a vacuum.
