Is the tongue-in-cheek suggestion from pinklady in the Sheffield Forum in reply to loopylass’ post about the best vacuum for picking up dog hair.

The debate centres around the choice of Sebo, Miele or Dyson and whether to plump for an upright or cylinder machine. Katkin loved her Miele which lasted for fifteen years, but finally replaced it with a Dyson DC18 although she describes it as “…useless for cleaning cushions unless you have 4 foot long arms”.

Strix recommends Miele as the best cylinder cleaners available and blue-kat considers the price of the handheld Dyson too expensive when compared to a cylinder Miele.

What are your suggestions for the best pet hair vacuum? Are you an upright or cylinder fan? Have your say in the forum.
