Hand vacs can be a handy mess buster for pet owners. Reaching the couch, under chair cushions, or even cleaning the doggie bed is difficult with ordinary roller brushes or even some vacuum attachments. Let's soon welcome a new creature in town, the Dirt Devil Gator.
What's the Best Vacuum For Picking Up Pet Hair?
There's nothing friendly about pet hair around the house. It tickles your throat, it coats your floors and furniture and, well, it's just gross. Unfortunately, any animal lover will tell you it's an unavoidable part of pet parenthood.

PetSugar Street Team: Bissell Pet Hair Eraser
As a prize for winning Cutest Dog at the Worldwide Fido Awards, Samson (and family) got to take home a brand new vacuum: the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser. How appropriate! Coincidentally, LilPeaPod's Dirt Devil was on the fritz, so getting this vacuum ended up being a lifesaver in more than one respect:
My trusty Dirt Devil vacuum that we've had for a few years was on its last leg.
I Need Your Help Recap . . . Best Vacuum For Pet Hair!
I've already shown you how well my Dyson DC16 Animal handheld worked (as I've only got hardwood in my home), but thanks so much for all your great vacuum suggestions when I asked you which brand you'd recommend for cleaning up after your furry friends.

Does Your Pet Hate Your Vacuum?
Since North freaks out at about everything from the doorbell to when the mop comes out of the closet, I'm not surprised by this video featured on the Wall Street Journal Online about how dogs react to the vacuum. I can see how an unmanned moving object that makes strange noises like the Roomba could be scary (or lunch) to a confused pooch. Although you gave some great advice about how to clear up the brutal battle between your pets and the vacuum, it seems that pets and technology just don't always mix!Casa Quickie: Vacuuming Quicker
If you're anything like me, no matter how awesome your vacuum is, it frustrates you to have to repeatedly unplug and replug your vacuum as you clean your whole house. Even if you live in a small studio (trust me, I have), you're bound to have to do so at least once to reach every nook and cranny.
