A dog that sheds her weight in hair daily and two cats who puke every other day. Fun.
My son has an English Mastiff. The drool and the fawn-colored hair that is almost the same color as the carpets….Need I say more? My current vacuum just doesn’t perform at the standard that I’m looking for in a vacuum.
Angora cat fur! YUCK!
I have a shar-pei who’s hair is everywhere! The hairballs are so bad, I’m afraid to mop!!! If the get wet, they might turn into Gremlins!!!
We have 4 dogs (shelties with all the hair) and 3 cats of our own plus we foster animals and save them from the kill shelters. What pet hair mess do we not have in this house?? LOL We could definately use this vac.
hardest would be cat hair & hairballs on rugs
My most challenging is the fur. SO much fur!!! Also all the dirt that gets tracked in because my dog loves to lay, roll, and dig in the dirt. And since she does NOT like having her paws wiped, it can be quite challenging to keep up with.
With 8 cats and 3 dogs, I could always use dyson Animal Handheld Vacuum, I actually went looking but just wasnt in my budget, thank you.
My Husky/Shepard Mix sheds endlessly. He will stand for daily brushing and even tolerate his coat being vacummed, but it is to no avail. as his hair defiantly finds its way onto a multitude of surfaces in our home on a daily basis, even clothes hanging innocently in our closet. When he shakes, a hair storm results with hair flying EVERYWHERE. I recently investigated a burning smell from our vacuum cleaner and found pet hair hopelessly lodged in every nook and cranny, it had even found its way inside of the brush roll itself necessitating complete disassembly and reassembly. My vacuum had truly met its match.
I have a 2 yr. old with Accute Asthma. We also own a Queensland Heeler and Boxer/Mastiff mix. We also have two cats that we found in a field by our house. Since my son was diagnosed with the Asthma, I have had to keep the dogs and kitties outside because the “awesome” Kirby (yeah right) does not pick up the dog hair or cat hair at all. I am constantly getting on my hands and knees to brush the hair out of the carpet and off the couch. I would eventually like to let our family members back in the house, but until I can find a vacuum that will pick up the hair, that’s not going to happen. :( And after spending $1500 for a vacuum that doesn’t work and you can’t return, who has the money to go and buy something else? My children and family pets would be ever so gratefull if they could come back inside. Thanks for the consideration. : )
My dog sheds alot. My most difficult thing is getting the pet hair off the sofa. This would be great. Thanks!
My most difficult pet cleaning task would definitely have to be vacuuming up my Bernese Mountain Dog’s long hair that floats all over my laminate floored house!
I have two cats, one is a Maine Coon, with that long, luxurious, silky fur. I also have one dog. Two little girls with really long hair, and my own past my waist hair. It’s actually a toss up as to which is the worst and hardest clean up, since there is /always/ hair to vacuum up, both the pets, and the family’s. Oh, and my husband is a Marine who cuts his own hair, so there are hair clippings all over the floor at least once a week. Hair, hair EVERYWHERE! This vacuum would be a serious godsend in my house.
We have guinea pigs and they are constantly kicking litter out of their cage! The Dyson would help keep it all picked up!
Wow this would be perfect to suck up my dogs hair! Thanks for the contest. Hope I win
I have several housebunnies (all litterbox trained) and the worst is when they all shed at the same time–I have dustbunnies made of real bunny hair hiding in the corner of their bunny room constantly.
I get bits of actual bone stuck into my berber carpeting! Talk about painful…
My biggest challenge comes from my Jack Russell Terrier who loves human food (like any other dog). This wouldn’t be so bad except that she’ll eat anything only to barf it back up when we’re at work. The worst one was when someone gave her mango, which she loved, but which added a wonderful yellow shade to our carpet–something akin to bile with lovely chunks of fruity mango. As a side note, our Shiba Inu one day had to go real bad and turned a lovey asian decorative bowl into his commode. Not difficult to clean, but very creative–at least it wasn’t the carpet.
Hardest cleaning job for me would have to be the cat tower.I only have the 1 cat but its almost impossible to vac up all the cat hair it catches in the thick carpet where my kitty lays all day.
I always have to brush it with the hard wire cat brush.That works
Fourteen indoors cats (at the moment) – thank god for travertine; but I can use all the extra vacuums I can get
