Ball Animal Total Clean

For this purpose, you can get a shedding attachment for an existing vacuum for $10 on Amazon. You get one with rubbery fingers like this one https://preview.redd.it/t9radnatwssf1.jpeg?width=350&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cd906eec845044363d52f0fab27603cd7f624d23 Ones with hard fingers don't work nearly as well. My two JRTs shed small white hairs year round and this gets them up from furniture, beds, covers, clothes, and in my car for carpet and neoprene seat covers where they get woven in. I have two of these - one for my car and one in the house. However, if you need a complete vacuum, the previous version of the Dyson Animal (Total Clean) with a lot of attachments (like the rotary brush ) is on sale on Amazon for $410.

Check Facebook marketplace. I was in the same boat 2 years ago and got a Dyson Animal Ball 2 for 25 bucks. Still works amazing to this day

I have the Dyson Ball Animal 2 I think, and we have 2 cats and shag carpets. It's great, every time we vacuum we get a full tank of dander and fur pretty much. I had to get a replacement part after 2 years and their customer service was good too. Their wand attachments are annoying though the tube is not easy to extend if you plan on using that a lot.

3 of us have med to long hair and it’s everywhere. I use a small dust buster for the bathroom for fast easy pickups. We have a Dyson animal ball 2 and the bottom can be removed to access the part that spins and catches all of the hair (there’s A LOT of hair when vaccuming). I use a little sewing thread cutter (seam ripper) and run it along the length of the cylinder and cut all of the hair, remove and throw away. Works like a charm. Make sure your vacuum is unplugged just in case.

I don't have animals anymore but I have a Dyson ball animal 2. I hate it because I can't use it to vacuum my car. The accordion hose is so tight I can't stretch it to even use it for longer than 2 minutes. I don't have that kind of muscle. It's exhausting to use. Can't use it for anything other than the floor so it's useless on the couch. That's something you need to consider if the pets are allowed in the furniture.

Yeah, I was really disappointed because part of the reason I bought it was to clean my car and my couch. I'm old but I'm not weak. My husband has trouble with it too and he works a physical job.
