My wife and I have an Old English Sheepdog that has lot's of hair. This Hoover vacuum does a superb job of picking up his long hair and whatever else he and the cat drag in. Any pet owner should have have this cleaning tool..

I done some research on best vacuums for long dog hair, and the Hoover pet wind tunnel ranked quite high on several sites. I was leaning more towards one of the more expensive models thinking that more money would mean better quality. But, I chose this one ultimately because it was lighter than the other two I was considering and I have a tri-level house with lots of stairs to carry the vacuum up and down. I also like it because the height is adjustable and the spin brush can turn on or off. One of the models I considered had automatic height adjustment and I don't always like when machines try to think for me. Our copy machine at work does that and I don't like it. I want control of the vacuum height and everything else. This vacuum allows that and does a great job. Some hairs to get caught around the spinning brush, but not nearly as much as with my previous vacuum and I think that will happen with any model when you have a dog with long hair. This vacuum does a much better job of getting it all though and I am very happy with it. And, it was about 1/3 or 1/4 the cost of some of the other models I considered. I figured even if it only lasted a handful of years, I was still getting a deal. It has been several months now and we use it two or three times a week and no problems so far. It is kind of big and bulky to use on stairs and it just dawned on me that I should have tried the attachments. I just haven't had much luck with attachments in the past, so didn't even consider it. So, I can not rank that aspect of the vacuum, but I am making a mental note to be sure to try it out next time.

Easy to use, fairly lightweight, picks up really well.

Purchased because I loved my Hoover Vacuums in the past. The best suction comes only with a bagged vacuum. I do not like bagless vacumms. I did not want to use to clean my car, and ended up doing so. Light weight too! Love it!!

This vacuum works well with picking up pet hair. It is lightweight.
