All of my dogs and cats live in the house, and so an efficient vaccum is essential.
A word of warning though: If you ever have to ring Dyson for spares/repair, dont ever admit to having more than two dogs!
The Miele 'cat and dog' is also reputed to be good - friends have one and swear by it.

I have heard they are meant to be really good although I would prefer an upright one to a cylinder one.

I have one that my mother had think its the DC01 but its still not as good as the others I have had so I wouldn't buy one. I have the upright vax one now too - is yours the turbotool 1700?
It's got so much power.I know what you mean about the dyson, i had the same problem, i'd turn it on and the dog hair would go flying in the air, and i also found that the suction pipe wasn't very good either......There was so many bits in my carpet, but when i bought the vax it picked up loads

So we don't recommend the One Pet!
Which hoover do you recommend for pet hairs? I ask because we really need a new one!

I like the bright orange colour though and it seems very sturdy
