Vacuum cleaners - for dog hair!
Discussion
I have a long coated German Shepherd Dog, so lots of hard work required keeping carpets free of the constant shedding.
My Miele vacuum cleaner is absolutely hopeless, with the rotating brush head clogging up every 3 or 4 days. When it reaches this point I might as well pick up the fluff by hand.
As the disassembly of the head is a total pain, I am on the hunt for a vac which can cope.
Preferably (but not necessarily)
- bagless
- mains powered
Recommendations please!

Shark recommendation here too.
We have a Heinz57 Romanian rescue who I'm surprised isn't bald given the amount of hair she leaves behind.
The Shark replaced a Henry and as a test we vac'd the living room with Henry, then immediately went back over with the Shark - the amount of hair picked up by the Shark was unbelievable.

We have a shark handheld with animal anti tangle thing. It does not tangle with our long haired cat and seemingly continually malting Kokoni cross.
I would describe it as average. It never tangles or gets blocked, but can lead to a matted hair layer on the carpet over time. So we use one of these for a manual, deep clean every so often.

Amazing what this drags up, but a chore......
Luckily most of our floors are wooden, but the stairs carpet is troublesome as the dog loves to sleep there, on the turn in the stairs. Hence the handheld vacuum.
Edit to add, our previous Dyson's were crap at this task, in between the battery pack failing continually.

Miele with a different head. Shark, Dyson and others are toys in comparison.My Miele vacuum cleaner is absolutely hopeless, with the rotating brush head clogging up every 3 or 4 days. When it reaches this point I might as well pick up the fluff by hand.
