What vacum cleaner for wood floors and cat hairs?

[TheJimi]

Just to update the thread, I've ordered a Miele C3 Cat & Dog.

Even looks pretty good in red as well!

We have a Dyson DC59 thing. We had it for our small flat as it was perfect.

Just moved into a new two bed house. My friend said to use his Miele Cat and Dog hoover as he said the Dyson wouldn't be man enough for our first clean. Hoovered the whole house with it. Thought i would just give the house carpets another quick hoover with the Dyson to see, and it picked up a huge amount more. Wasn't expecting that!

Take from that what you will. I gave him his hoover back quickly after.

I have an old VAX for building/DIY works, so Dyson is just used for the normal cleaning.

I've had exactly the same experience. And came to the same decision as you.

My experience of Dysons is that they do indeed start very powerful, but over time they just gradually get less and less effective.

Just borrowed an iRobot 570. Not sure of it's age, but it has copyright 2000-2007 on it's bum, so I'd assume 2007.

All hard floors here. Wood, Lino, tiles. One rug made from astro turf of all things! It seems to work quite well after the first run. Lots of dust and lots of hair picked up which just sits on top of hard floors.

If scheduled for every other day or so ething similar, I think it would do a good job. It goes under our TV table nicely.

It's lines seem utterly random. At best, but having left the doors open, it gets about. They must have I.proved I. 8 years from this one.

Quite tempted to invest. I'll try it for a while yet.
