Vacuum for wood floors & pet hair?

| I need a vacuum that will work well to pick up pet hair off of my wood floors. Does anyone have any recommendations? Our current vacuum seems to just blow it around but doesn't actually suck it up. |

| I use a Swiffer for this. The vacuum part isn't super powerful, but it gets a lot of the hair & dust, and the rest gets trapped on the cloth. |

Not everyone has $1200 for a vacuum.

| Dyson stick vacuum. Get it for 20% off at BBB. |

Hoover Anniversary edition...just over $200. Works great on carpet and wood floors, especially when you use the hose and attachment around the baseboard. It's loud and heavy though.

Dyson. The yellow one. With a canister and no ball.
Don't forget the bbb coupon. |

| We got the purple Dyson canister. It works very well. |

| There are vacuums specifically marketed for pet hair. Dyson makes one. Do you have 500? Miele or Simplicity make powerful suction vacs in that price range. I would get the Miele at BB&B with 20% off coupon--it's a Miele Titan. Make sure you get one with HEPA filter. There is tons of info on the web about this. |

I like this one, too - but remember to keep cutting the hair and crap out of the roller. I don't have pets, but do have a dust problem, and it works well for that. |

| Shark Navigator. $150 and works like gangbusters. No need to spend $600-$1200 on a freaking vacuum. |

| Shark vacuum from Costco. We have 2 cats and it sucks them up nicely (proof in the canisters after we vac). |

Yep. Our dog's hair is no match for that thing! |

| My Miele just died. It was 20 yrs old and awesome. Super powerful suction. They have super long warranties too. |

| OP here. Thanks for the feedback. Do these all work on wood floors? We only have hardwood. Our current vac was marketed for pet hair but sucks on the hardwood. |
