[NAGDU] question about vacuum for dog hair

[Debbie Gabe]

Becky, thanks. I guess I'll just save the money and keep using the vacuum I have and just do the maintenance, as you mentioned. I clean it out every use, but I have to remind the others in my family to do the same.
Enjoy.
Debbie

Debbie, I have a stick vacuum. So far three people who have used it in this home bought their own. I noticed though you have to empty the basket every time. You also have to clean the roller every time, with the golden we have, trust me, every time. A lady who cleans for me loves the vacuum, but she forgets to use it only on dry floors. She will mop go do something else, then vacuum clogging the shaft. You also have to once a month, which is really way to soon, clean the air filter. We sometimes get dog fur wrap around the filter housing. Gang this maintenance takes like ten minutes a month. It picks up every hair fur, cereal, powdered sugar, needles from our fur trees, debris from my wheelchair tires when I come in from whatever,
giggle.   everything. I vacuum from a wheelchair it is that easy to use. I
got mine on Amazon for a hundred and twenty something dollars. If I could remember exactly what the name is that would surely help. It is Luleul something kind of similar.

As long as you keep up the maintenance well mine is going on two hard working years. Between my golden' s thick fur and my long blond hair, well it gets a lot of work. When Kevin cuts his hair, I just run the stick vacuum in the bathroom. The hair is gone into the cup and I throw the contents out.
Kevin sands something in the house, the stick does the trick. A nice clean home is the result.

Hi folks,
I have a lab and I groom her outdoors every day.
And I have a Dysan stick vacuum which I love, but it's not the greatest for dog hair on carpet. It sucks it up but sometimes the fur clumps get stuck.
We will eventually replace the carpet, but in the meantime, what do you use to vacuum up dog hair. I've seen the dog fur vacuums on amazon, but they all seem to come with a lot of other stuff for grooming. Are those vacuums worth the expense?
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Have a great day.
