Yo. I like my Dyson wireless vacuum. But, I only like the V10 animal. We got the newer model and it’s shit. They fucked it all up. I returned it. The v10 (without the worthless graphic/dust screen display) has a switch for 3 settings and on Medium it is perfect. The new ones just don’t do “medium” as strong. Here’s the kicker, I get mine on EBay refurbished from the Dyson store for like $200. I’m telling you, it’s the best loop hole for an excellent vacuum. To be clear, if you look for a v10, it needs to be without the display screen. The ones with the screen fucked up the suction settings.

I have a Dyson handheld. V10 animal I think? Works great for wood, tile, and carpeted floors. Repairable, great suction. Once a year or so I take it apart to clean it really well, but it doesn't ever get clogged. I vacuum a couple times a week and it's like 95% cat hair. I also have one of those furminator brushes that helps a lot with shedding. And my cats love it.

I will say I have this lint tool I got from Amazon I use on my couch. I got a new couch and I wanted to keep it clean from the cats and this thing is amazing, I keep it by the couch to touch up and collect cat fur and it even works great wet. I’ll make a bowl of laundry soap water to “wash” the couch once a month and I deep clean the lint roller thing and use it to wash and then once dried it goes back for daily lint rolling. https://preview.redd.it/fudu68jqdsqg1.jpeg?width=1206&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=97c1f4b07b112dcaab16936c401b97a372fe8c06

Not a problem! I had the Dyson pet or animal v10 I think and it did okay. Then I had a corded Dyson roller ball pet vacuum and it just didn’t hit the spot when it came to pet hair but I recently got this shark and was blown away! My fiance has a shark and it’s 10+ years old and is amazing that’s why I got a shark and got rid of my Dyson. Plus cleaning the is a lot easier than the Dyson.

I'm Dyson fanboy, so I vote for the Dyson Cyclone V10 Animal+ from Costco. Dyson has great hair detangling technology, and this model comes with two motorized heads (one for the floor, and the other for upholstery and stairs) that work well for picking up pet hair. You might want to purchase the Dyson Soft Roller Cleaner Head (or a third party equivalent) for cleaning your hardwood floors.

This person is 1000% correct. We have 6 huskies and the V10 Animal+ is our daily driver. The canister having to be emptied frequently sucks, but its the only one thats held up longer than 6 months.

It looks like you have a Dyson V10 Animal. I have a V10 too and this thing is not that good. If you want something with less maintenance perhaps you should look into getting a bagged vacuum! They can offer better filtration, less work on your end, just throw away the bag, and they can be reliable but over time if you dont change the bag it may start to smell. And you gotta buy bags but they can last a while depending on how much you such up. Like another comment said a kenmore canister is a good option. However I did notice that you are in Canada and are from the UK, perhaps you can try to find a Numatic Henry supplier? NaceCare is the North American distributor for Numatic products and theyre based in Canada. Or you could try a Miele, but im not sure how much they cost in Canada. But for all 3 make sure there is a powerbrush so you can clean the dog hair up off carpets(The Henry has an airpowered one which will be weaker).
