We have two cats and have just moved into a house with cream carpets throughout. Our vacuum cleaner is useless, so we need to get a new one. Can anyone recommend one that is particularly good for cat hair please?

I also have cream carpets in my bedrooms and recently made another brilliant discovery that saves my OH getting out the miele and lugging it upstairs every day. Its the Bissell Perfect Sweep manual Floor sweeper and its on sale in Argos UK at the moment for only 15 quid-bargain!
Gets up cat hairs amazingly. I empty it each time I use it and you can use it on wooden floors and tiles too. I was a bit skeptical about it at first but its great for keeping the cat hair under control and we only hoover at the weekends. I can't use the hoover but this is really light and easy to carry up and down so I can do my bit. I wouldn't bother with the rechargeable ones as this really works. I don't work for Bissell or have shares in them but I have been raving about this for weeks now. The cats aren't scared of it either unlike the hoover
I have one long haired cat and a golden retriever who should be bald now given the amount of hair he loses. I had a Dyson but changed to a Miele Cat & Dog on a friends recommendation. It's great and I would highly recommend it.
This thread got me curious. My 10-year-old Dyson doesn't do a bad job, but it's not great either. The reviews on the Miele and the price on JL is very tempting.
Tell me about it! I've got a Dyson animal, which was fab to start with but soon became a bit meh. I sometimes end up doing a bit of a pre-hoovering mental moonwalk/dance with my trainers on, as the rubber/friction unhoofs a lot of the hairs - but thankfully I only have to do that in the hall
Where is this JL you speak of?
Apologies, JL = John Lewis!
Oooh, that's a VERY good price......thanks for that!
No more weird moonwalking for me! (Unless the cats ask, of course
I heart you for the heads up on the JL price - wasn't sure if the free postage applied to the IOM or not, but it did and not only that, it arrived today! How happy am I? Considering it's a vacuum cleaner and all that
Just need to try it out now.....:p
me too - cant wait for it to break lol
edit - omg just looked at the miele on JL, is £289 considered a good price for this!?!? :eek:
No, that's a shocking price!!!!! Why do people always think JL is fab? If you're buying a branded piece of equipment, why does it matter where it's from? A little affected really.... They're bloomin expensive! Comet or Amazon are selling it for 230. Managed to get mine for 189 in Currys just before Xmas though
I bought a Vax in January to use upstairs to save me lugging my Dyson about. It's already been sent for repair twice and I've probably only used it 4 times when it's been working.
I really wish I'd just got another Dyson. However, perhaps Miele is the way to go from what I've been reading here.
:eek::eek::eek::D:D:D
Roooty, I wuv u even more now - I got mine for the bang tidy price of £188
Hahaha. My work here is done! (I still haven't bought one myself. Yet.)
