Hi all,
Looking for cordless stick vacuum recommendations to deal with long hair and pet hair.
I know there are tons of threads and recommendations for pet vacuums in general, but I'm specifically looking for vacuums that can also handle long hair without having it twist and wind all around the brush heads. We have hard floors all throughout, so no need to worry about carpets. I'd also want the stick vac to transform into a hand-held vac if possible.
We have a Dyson stick vac from a few years ago, and within a few minutes, it immediately tangles and stops working. We do have the 'tangle-free turbine brush' attachment from Dyson which was made for this, and it's perfect but… it's so TINY that we can't do the whole house with it.
Instead, we usually have to use our big bulky corded Kmart barrel vacuum because it somehow doesn't even have a brush head… it's just a hole that sucks everything up, so no tangles! It's great except that it's a barrel.
So far, I've found only a couple of vacuums that deal with tangles, like the stick vacs from Shark with Zero-M technology. The rest all seem to be barrel vacs or uprights.
Here's what I'm after:
- Stick vacuum with decent runtime (>15mins)
- Deals with long hair and tangles
That's pretty much it?!
Help! Would appreciate any recommendations or ideas.
My wife has very long hair and I have a Briard dog. I bought the dyson outsize. It’s amazing and it’s worth it. I have only had to remove hair from the roller head once manually and even the roller head is designed perfectly.
I do have a a fault with this vacuum, the port that goes from the stick to the barrel is too small for my liking(my dog drags in so much big stuff from outside, sticks and twigs and shit and I don’t want to pick it up haha) but otherwise it’s amazing. Changes power depending on the surface and just gets all their hair up.
My wife does complain about the weight of the vacuum though so please also factor that in
