Which one of these Vacuum cleaner is the best for pet hair?

Hi there, I have been servicing vacuums for about 10 years or so and have worked on most of these machines. In fact they will all clean pet hair almost exactly as well as each other BUT will have different lifespans and running costs. The bissells has cheaper filters but really needs you to be super diligent with the pre motor filter. If you don’t keep an eye on them you will reduce suction (wich you don’t notice as quickly on an upright) and cause the motor to run hotter. The heat in the motor speeds up the wear of the carbon motor brushes and therefore shortens the life of the machine dramatically. Also the pet hair eraser is a bit awkward to use, the chunkier front makes it feel like your pushing around a machine much heavier than it actually is.
The hoover has a better quality motor but more expensive filters. Providing you pay attention to cleaning out the fine dust from the cyclone chamber though you shouldn’t have to replace them too often. Even if you do maintain your machine properly change the filters every year to get the best life from your vacuum. The pet cyclonic is pretty maneuverable but a bit loud I think. All things considered if it was my choice I’s get the Pet Cyclonic pretty good life, good results and good to use.
Hope this helps!

Out of those choices I would pick the Hoover. I have a Kirby that I have had for 18yrs.=)

You really can’t beat a commercial upright Oreck. I love it.

Do not purchase a vacuum unless it comes equipped with HEPA filtration.
