About vacuum cleaners for pet hair

Turbo brush

Vacuum cleaners for pet hair usually come with a turbo brush, which has a rotating brush roll that easily removes pet hairs from soft surfaces.

We recommend getting a regular turbo brush for vacuuming carpets and a mini turbo-brush for furniture.

Advice: Most vacuum cleaners allow you to buy the turbo brush (and other accessories) separately. This means that you can start by buying the just vacuum cleaner and purchase the accessories later if you change your mind.

Advantages

These are the main advantages of buying a vacuum cleaner for pet hair removal:

More flexibility: Vacuum cleaners for pet hair removal are more versatile than regular vacuum cleaners because they come with more accessories.

Disadvantages

These are the main disadvantages of buying a vacuum cleaner suited for pet hair removal:

Price: Vacuum cleaners for pet hair tend to be more expensive because of their extra features.
Takes up space: The extra nozzle takes up space when the vacuum cleaner is not in use.
