The Best Vacuums for Dog Owners
Your furry friend can be cute and cuddly, bust as just mentioned – they can be furry, very furry. And sometimes that fur can end up all over your clothes, couch, floor, and anywhere else it can land.
For people with allergies, if this accumulating pet hair isn’t dealt with – you can have a massive issue on your hands. Not to mention, it can become just plain nasty. Luckily this is a problem many pet parents have, and vacuum companies have noticed, which is why we present to you some of the best vacuums for pet parents made especially for them and their needs.
Dyson Ball Animal 2 Upright Vacuum
The Dyson Ball Animal 2 is an extremely powerful vacuum that can maneuver itself into many of the places your pup’s pet hair lands. So powerful, they even claim that their vacuum has the strongest suction on the market when it comes to pet hair. Dyson’s “ball technology” (using a round base instead of other typical vacuums that don’t) also makes it easier to get around tight spaces.
This vacuum also contains a HEPA filter that is helpful when trying to rid allergens and pollen. And not only that, but it’s also certified by aafa.org to be asthma and allergy-friendly.
Retail Price: $379.00
Shark Rotator Nv752 Powered Lift-Away TruePet Upright Vacuum
The Shark Rotator NV752 is unique in that it uses motors to power its cleaning head instead of just relying on the air pressure from the vacuum. This model is also surprisingly lightweight, making it seem to almost glides across your floor with its swivel steering. As stated in the same, there is a “lift away” feature that allows you to create an even lighter vacuum, making cleaning stairways and those hard to reach areas easier to access.
The Shark Rotator also contains a lifetime HEPA filter, which again helps eliminate 99.9% of pollen and allergens.
Retail Price: $288.37
Eureka NEU180B Lightweight Upright Pet Hair Vacuum Cleaner
Designed for the challenges pet hair create, the Eureka NEU180B offers strong suction and a lightweight design for a more affordable price. Although it isn’t built with any special or unique technology like the previous two vacuums, it can still get the job done. It provides a substantially sized dust cup that requires no maintenance other than a bit of rinsing now and then.
The Eureka NEU180B would probably be best suited for an owner whose dog moderate to lightly sheds.
Retail Price: $69.99
Hoover T-Series WindTunnel Pet Rewind Bagless Upright Vacuum, UH70210
The Hoover T-Series WindTunnel technology offers great suction that will sufficiently take care of the majority of your pet hair problems. Although it is worth noting that this model works significantly better on carpeted floors and upholstery compared to hardwood. With that being said, though, Hoover T-Series also has an attached pedal that lets you shut off the brush roller when leaving carpeted areas, preventing the tossing of dirt everywhere.
The Hoover T-Series also proudly contains HEPA and carbon filters that not only lessen allergins, but the carbon filter can also help in diminishing bad smells.
Retail Price: $124.99
