Handheld hoover recommendations for Labrador hair

We’re getting a new Labrador puppy & I’m aware how much labs shed, so any recommendations for hand held hoovers to pick up dog hair would be appreciated, thanks!

I've got the Gtech one, dark grey and hi-viz green with the pawprint. Brilliant to clear the furry patches this time of year and when clumps collect. It was expensive but worth it.

Main vacuum cleaner is Miele Cat and Dog, dating from before the EU ruled out high power vacs (bought it when the law was being talked about but not used immediately).

I’ve got a Bosch one that comes with two batteries, it’s brilliant at picking up dog hair and relatively quiet (a lot of dogs don’t like the sound of vacuum cleaners)

I have a Bosch Unlimited. Can't recall which model at the moment and it's generally great. Sometimes hair clumps in it which needs removing as it blocks the sensor, but I've found the rubber broom to be a great help. Quick run over with the rubber broom gets the worst sorted, dustpan and brush into the bin, then a run around with the Bosch.

The motorised head on it cleans in both directions, many of the battery vacuums only clean in one direction.

I look after dogs, so hair is a constant battle.

I've got a hand held Vax which is brilliant. Indeed it is better than the Miele cat and dog which is a clumsy bastard.

Thanks all.
