I have been searching for a vacuum cleaner that would deal with the pet hair in my house, most of the flooring is hardwood. I have two dogs that shed like crazy (one of the them a Husky). Someone had recommended I purchase a Dyson DC33 vacuum cleaner as they said it was excellent. Well, not good on bare floor but excellent on carpeting. After doing some research, I ordered a Bissell Hard Floor Expert. OMG, I cannot believe how my house is now almost pet hair free.
