For such a tiny home, you'd hardly think we need TWO battery powered vacuum cleaners.
We've just bought a second one, for downstairs. The first one got tangled with dog hair around its spinning brush, and had to be de-tangled after every use; which was a lengthy process. It was a pain in the neck even though it was advertised as being specially for pet hair.
The new one (below) is a Vax Homepro 'pet design', and works wonderfully. The other one (a Vax Blade 4) we now use for upstairs only, where Billy fears to tread.
The new one is a bit of a brute, but it works really well; even the emptying system is well designed, and works perfectly.
My only complaint is that even though they are both Vax machines, and both new, they don't use the same size batteries and battery charger, which I find rather annoying.
So, if you have a permanently moulting dog in the house, I can thoroughly recommend the Vax Homepro 'pet design'.
It does what it says on the box!

Thanks for the recommendation! Dog hair is a constant struggle!
It is here, but this cleaner does the job perfectly.
Have you got cupboards to store them out of sight or do they just lay around the bijou house?
The one upstairs is in a cupboard, the other makes a nuisance of itself in the hall.
I used to have the same problem when my hair was very long. It was always clogging up my old vacuum cleaner brush head. Now I have my hair cut short it's not such a problem.
We also now have a German vacuum cleaner, the Sebo Airbelt, which is excellent.
It's amazing how hair wraps itself around everything. Maybe we should have a short-haired Dog.
You could avoid any vacuuming at all by giving Billy an all-over shave every week. Maybe you would then need to change his name to Baldy.
If he's anything like me, he should start losing his hair in a couple of year's time!
I have a Bosch "Animal" vacuum. It works well on my Boston Terrier's short spiky hair but the collection cylinder (can't call it a bag) doesn't hold very much and needs emptying every time I use it.
None of them is perfect, there's always a niggle somewhere.
I have just ditched my really old upright Dyson that didn’t pick up anything and purchased a Henry Quick stick hoover. It’s so good. XXXX
We did think we ought to buy a round 'Henry' as well, but they're expensive, aren't they!
It was £199.00 which I thought was quite reasonable. It was on offer though . XXXX
I wish I had a decent vaccum. We have 2 but neither sucks up all the hair from visiting dogs. Or mine. At least it gets rid of the crumbs.
I would like an upright. Easier on the back.
Thanks for the recommendation. I currently have 3 Shark vacuum cleaners. One is made for pet hair and it works best. The Shark seems more reliable than all the previous vacuums. I've had multiple Meile, Sebo, and Dyson models. All required repair regularly by the vacuum repair shop. Most repairs were dog hair related.
What is the life expectancy of the battery on your vacuum? My battery powered leaf blower has required 3 new batteries in 5 years and I'm looking for another battery now.
If they're available, I recommend this one. It actually works!
I have no idea, but the charge seems to last a long time; which is probably because our sitting room is quite small.
Thanks for the recommendation. We have a large moulting lab, a very old Jack Russell & currently use a Henry. It's OK, a bit cumbersome though.
The one above is a bit heavy, but at least it does a good job!
