The Best Vacuums for Dog Hair

One thing our team liked about the Bissell Cleanview is its light weight. You can easily carry it with one hand for cleaning upstairs. We also like the fact that it comes with a washable filter since it is less of a hassle than buying new filters. The only issue is that there is no storage space on the vacuum body for the pet hair attachment.

A unique feature from this Sharp is the lift away canister. You just press the button and remove the canister for cleaning other areas. It also features the Anti-Allergen Tech for trapping dirt. We like the large capacity of the canister, which works well for breeds that shed a lot of hair. The dust cup is also easy to empty and put back after use. One slight problem is that it can topple easily when left upright, so you have to rest it on a support.

A great thing about the Eureka PowerSpread Upright Vacuum Cleaner is that you can adjust its height to five different positions. This helps tackle thicker surfaces like carpets. The tank is also fairly large making it helpful when you have a dog who sheds a lot. Its extension hose is a bit short so you need to be careful when tugging on it.

One thing that surprised us is how quiet the Nequare Cordless Vacuum Cleaner’s motor is despite all that power. We also like the mounted LED lights, which makes it easy to see when cleaning hair from under tables or other furniture. The only problem we had was that the battery life is a bit short.

The Shark Lift-Away removed pet hair from carpets and furniture with ease. It’s attractive and has a good powerhead on the brush to clean carpets quickly and makes them fluffier. The clip holding the hose is too loose and the hose has to be reattached frequently.

The removable handle on the Dirt Devil Endura makes reaching hard to clean places easier to get pet hair out of crevices, behind fridges, under furniture, and corners. It’s light enough to be portable and transitions from hard floors to carpets easily. It doesn’t have as much suction power as other models.

The light-weight canister is easy to carry and the hose end is easy to use. It can be used on carpet, rugs or bare floors. Hair doesn’t tangle up in the EUREKA vacuum. It works like a charm for anyone with long hair or pets.

This little canister vacuum has a sleek design that allows cleaning in tight spaces. It can be used with either a reusable cloth bag or disposable ones. The suction is wonderful and it doesn’t scratch wood floors. It also has an extra-long cord that comes in handy.

One of Dyson’s most popular vacuums and our top choice is the Dyson Upright Vacuum Cleaner, Ball Animal 2. This amazing vacuum can clean out the thickest, fluffiest carpets and leave it spotless, thanks to its self-adjusting cleaner head that seals the suction shut so no air escapes and every single dirt, dust, and crumb gets sucked into the vacuum. While we’re extremely impressed with how clean it left our carpets, we can’t help but notice how well it did on tiles and hardwood floors as well. This Dyson vacuum also uses ball technology. Simply turn your wrist to the direction you want to vacuum and you’re there; no need to lift, drag, and tug! This allowed us to get to the corners of every room with ease and with less effort. We love the attachments that come with the Dyson Upright Vacuum Cleaner, Ball Animal 2. There’s one for the stairs that lets you vacuum with your hands instead of trying to maneuver the big, bulky appliance on your stairs and then there’s the combination tool. This one turned out to be our favorite attachment because it allowed us to clean and vacuum hard-to-reach areas like those underneath the couch, behind furniture, and on top of tall cabinets.

The Edge was simple to snap together right out of the box. We also loved the flawless work ethic, as the Bissell even sucked up thick pet hair. The filter is one of the best of all the models we tested because it can be rinsed out to cut down on maintenance costs. The V design may look odd but it does help to extend your reach.

This vacuum has amazing suction power. It lifts and sucks dirt and fur from the floor with just one pass. Despite its power, the Shark Rocket Ultra-Light Corded Bagless Vacuum is still gentle enough and left our hardwood floors free from damage.

We love how vacuuming has become so much easier and more convenient with the Shark Navigator Freestyle Upright Stick Cordless Bagless Vacuum. Its dust bin is noticeably larger than other stick vacuums so you don’t have to keep dumping the dog fur out of the bin out while cleaning your home.

The Bissel Natural Sweep picks up dirt, debris, and pet hair from open floors. It’s lighter than most models and has an easy-to-grip handle that can be stored by hanging on a hook. The Bissel is easy to empty. While it picks up pet hair, it doesn’t always pick up large pieces.

The cordless sweeper by Fuller Brush picks up pet hair and cat litter off the floor easily. It also picks up long hair from animals that shed a lot. It’s lightweight and easy to navigate on all floor types. It works a bit better on carpeted floors than on hard floor types.

The Alpine Triple Brush Carpet and Floor Sweeper includes a cleaning comb to help keep bristles clean. It’s sturdy for a small sweeper and partly made of metal. It does a great job of picking up pet hair without getting clogged. It’s a bit on the small side.

The Eyliden Carpet Floor Sweeper is very easy to maneuver without wrestling with a full-size vacuum. It’s quick to grab and sweep up messes and pet hair and then stores easily. The bottom opens easily with the push of a button so it can be emptied. Pet hairs do get caught in the brushes and they have to be removed.

The remote control that comes with this robot vacuum cleaner is remarkable. It gives you total control of the device, allowing you to instruct the cleaner to start, stop, spot clean, clean the edges of the house, and also return to its charging station. You can also manually control the movement of this cleaner with the directional buttons on the remote control, offering you greater flexibility in its movement.

This robot vacuum cleaner does a wonderful job of clearing out any pet hair and any similar particles, leaving your floors and carpets looking much cleaner than before. It remains super quiet on its silent mode, perfect for use during the night, while the max-suction mode enables it to do its job very quickly although it would make around 65.6dB of noise.

The instructions that come with this robot vacuum cleaner are very easy to understand, so you can operate it right out of the box without requiring any assistance. It operates very quietly, ensuring that it does not bother anyone in your household, including your pets.

The low profile design of this robot vacuum cleaner allows it to comfortably slide under your furniture and perform a thorough cleaning of your entire floor. It also has large-sized wheels that are perfect for moving between differently-textured surfaces, such as from a hardwood floor onto a carpet.

We like the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser’s specially-designed nozzle as it sweeps up and directs the hair towards the suction opening. Additionally, the bristles are made of rubber and won’t scratch the surfaces you are cleaning. One slight problem is that the vents on the side of the vacuum head can blow up hair, so you need to be more methodical when cleaning.

The motor on the ZesGood Portable Handheld Vacuum Cleaner is surprisingly strong considering its small size. On the other hand, the low noise levels mean your dogs won’t get annoyed. One thing to watch out for is that the flap that holds the dust bin closed can swing open if the bin carries heavier debris.

The super small size of the Bissell Lightweight Zing allows for easy movement throughout the house. It’s easy to pick up and move to any area. It has strong suction, but it can be adjusted to meet a specific need. Higher settings are great for picking up spilled pet food, and the lower setting is perfect for vacuuming things like litter mats. The cord is conveniently retractable and the bag is easy to change when full. The head on the vacuum is a bit large and the tool holder doesn’t always secure the crevice tool securely enough.

The Kenmore Pet-Friendly Bagged Upright has sturdy attachments and hose. It works very well on both hard floors and carpeted floors and comes with great attachments. The strong suction power and pet brush work to remove pet hair and dander from all types of surfaces. The dirt sensor on the front alerts when the area has been cleaned. The hose for the wand can be a bit difficult to use.

The Hoover WindTunnel is heavy-duty, sturdy and has great suction power for picking up dirt, debris and pet hair. The cord is very long which helps the work go more smoothly. Accessories are easy to get to and use. The vacuum easily adjusts for different flooring types. Having the headlight is a big plus. There is a loud sound the Hoover makes while vacuuming and sometimes the extendable wand collapses while it’s in use.

The Stanley Wet/Dry Vacuum delivers a high level of suction and picks up both small and large pieces of debris. It feels balanced and doesn’t fall over when moving around while cleaning. At times, the wheels become loose or even detach if the vacuum is moved around too quickly. This can stop the vacuum’s suction.

The Vacmaster Professional Wet/Dry Vac has an impressive amount of power and suctions up pet hair and other debris in one sweep without leaving anything behind. The included attachments also make it easy to clean in small crevices, especially in vehicles. Wheels are not included and without them, it can be difficult to move while cleaning.

The Shop-Vac 5989300 Stainless Steel Wet Dry Vacuum has plenty of power for both suctioning and blowing everything from small pieces of dog bones up to long pet hair. The easy-rolling casters allow the vacuum to follow the user on both hard floors and carpet. We did find the exterior of the body can dent and scratch easily, but this doesn’t affect how well it works.

The TACKLIFE Wet/Dry Vac includes a variety of attachments to clean even small and compact areas. It’s powerful enough to suction up pet hair or caked-on grime without causing damage to surfaces. Unfortunately, the replacement filters can be difficult to find when they need to be purchased again.

This product was easily our Top Pick – it looks great and works on a whole plethora of different surfaces, including carpets and hardwood floors alike. It easily picked up dog fur on each of these surfaces. You can also use a variety of different popular assistant apps, such as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, to help you schedule a cleaning on a regular basis.

This product has three different cleaning settings that allow you to choose between cleaning a small area, an entire floor, or even the edge of a floor. We loved that we were able to use these settings to target the vacuum to clean where our dog was spending their time. It also has a 120-minute continuous runtime and can be programmed to respond to either voice commands or app controls.

With its cool looking white design, this robotic vacuum will fit in pretty much anywhere in terms of décor, and the fact that it ideal for hardwood floors, is self-charging, and has a programmable design is also very helpful.
