Picking up cat or dog hair is one of the most difficult jobs for a vac. Handheld devices are practical to use, and some models can remove pet fur but they may not be so efficient getting rid of stubborn dirt such as mud.
Factors that you would like to consider when choosing the right model include:
Cleaning efficiency: A good vac performance does not depend only on its suction power but a combination of factors such as the nozzle shape, internal sealing or whether it is equipped with a powered brush bar.
Corded or cordless: Most handheld devices are cordless and they normally run up to 20 minutes whereas corded designs are more powerful and they don’t have the limitation of time.
Capacity and weight: These tools typically have a small and lightweight design, but you should check for the specifics of each model.
Price: Pet hair vacuums may cost no more than $50 but there are also some expensive options out there such as Dyson.
Many handheld devices struggle to remove pet hair, but here are 2 top options we recommend:
Dyson V7 Trigger
