Best Vacuums for Pet Hair, Tested & Reviewed

Removing pet hair is one of the toughest challenges vacuum cleaners face. That's because, in part, static electricity makes dog and cat hair cling tightly to fabrics like carpeting, upholstery, draperies and more.

It's the static bond that makes it seem like no amount of brushing with a lint roller, sticky tape or passes with a pet hair removal gadget will be enough to remove all traces of pet hair. But a vacuum designed specifically for picking up pet hair can make easy work of the task, thanks to useful features like rubber trim and raised "fingers" that help break static bonds and lift fur from every surface in your home.
