I have a mix of hard and carpeted floors. I need one which can cope with DDs dog's hairs. Not too heavy. Preferably bagless. I gave up a very old cylinder Dyson which was too unwieldy and heavy and bought a small Bosch. But the suction is very poor. A lot of effort produces poor results.

If you love yours, please tell me what it is.

I have had a Miele cylinder for around 25 years. It is bagged, but no doubt times have changed. It works well on hard floors but I no longer have any animals. I suppose it is a tad unwieldy but I think all cylinders are.

Following, I have purchased one that wasn't up to the job with pets and grandchildren trapping about

Which? Recommended this one

Miele Guard M1 Cat and Dog Flex £359

How well does it clean?

You won’t be disappointed with its cleaning overall. It’s particularly impressive on hard floors, be it smooth laminate or floorboards with gaps.

It has no problem lifting dirt from deep within the fibres of carpet and, as you’d expect, it does a great job with pet hair. Plus, any small particles and allergens it collects are locked safely away in the filter, so they won’t find their way back into the room you’ve just cleaned.

Larger debris is swiftly sucked up, and you won’t have to keep going over the same patch of carpet to pick up any hair or fur. Suction stays strong even as the bag fills up.

DDiL has had an upright Miele for ever .
All I can say is her house is clean and they have a dog albeit a shorthaired dachshund 😂

I, on the other hand, have a Henry and a cordless Dyson stick in a large grubby house with no resident pets. The Henry is pretty efficient but it's a cylinder.

I'm moving soon to a house with carpets so may be watching this thread.

Sebo is the best I have found. Mine is upright and has a bag that is so easy to replace having a special cap which snaps on and stops any dust escaping.

Thank you all so far. I shall google the Miele pet one
