We have a karcher wd 2 plus. It's not made for pet hair specifically but it's powerful.
Ich habe mir für die Renovierung meines Hauses den Kärcher WD 2 gekauft. Ist recht laut und nicht regelbar. Dafür hat er gut Power, Lamellenfilter ist dabei und man kann auch nass saugen. Hat mir für den Umbau gute Dienste geleistet und auch danach ist er jetzt der Sauger "fürs Grobe". Für 60€ macht er gute Arbeit.
I have a karcher wet vacuum. Works the same way, there is no need for water filtration since the waste water is seperated from the clean. Gets things super clean, but honestly, it is not used frequently. I only get it out when there is spills on the couch or carpet.
I got myself a Karcher wet/dry in the sales and just purchased a cheap (£12) head for it so i can use it as a standard vacuum. Couldn't be happier. Cost me £75 in total.
Where are karchers? Dirt cheap, hell strong suction and dead simple. Dirt, dust or just air? No problem. Also water or chemicals? Sure thing! I used mine to suck water out of underground garage when firecrew couldn't suck it out anymore due to too thin water layer. I use it to wet clean sofa and my car too. I think those yellow bastards should be at the very top of bifl chart of vacuum cleaners.
Our last two hoovers have been Karcher WD hoovers. Ridiculously powerful, robust, & with Wet & Dry potential. Cheap too compared to your Dysons & your Sharks etc
Any of their wet and dry vacuum (WD series for consumer grade or NT for industrial grade). Most of the suction units are similar across the same range (only bigger bucket) but for general purpose home use is more than enough. Make sure it's wet and dry if you intend to use for vacuuming water/wet stuff and empty the bin + sun/air dry after use if it's wet, otherwise you will have your own biohazardous container at home. Can't recommend their water filter or bagged vacuums as I have no experience with those, however they look very generic like straight out of some china OEM factory.
