r/VacuumCleanersWhat would be the modern equivalent of this?

They made a newer version years ago but may be easier to get parts for. I think it was bag less. They also made a platinum force handheld with a motor driven brush roll. Thing was a beast

I purchased one of those little dirt devil hand vacuums and it has been a game changer! I can just do a quick clump cleanup to take care of the big issues a couple times a week. Then my Roborock does the rest. Easy peasy.

r/CatAdviceWhat stick vacuum do you use for hair and litter?

I use a handheld Dirt Devil. You have to dump it out every five seconds, but it doesn’t get clogged.

r/germanshepherdsI have these two hair shedders and I can’t find a vacuum cleaner that doesn’t give up the will to live after about a year. Anyone got recommendations for a brand and model that lasts longer than 12months?

I don't have much carpeting, so I use a shop vac. I also use one of those rubber-bristled brushes with a long handle and a bit of water to "rake" rugs and get most of the hair up before I suck it up with the shop vac. Then I use my regular vacuum to go over the area. For furniture, the best thing I've used is an older, hand-held Dirt Devil with a crazy strong motor and sturdy rotary brush. I also use a rubber-bristled brush/water on furniture.
