Best Pet Vacuums on Sale
Dyson V10 Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner
If you've always wanted a Dyson vacuum but couldn't justify the price, now's your chance. The Dyson V10 Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner was awarded the best investment of all the pet hair vacuums we tried, and it's currently $161 off at Amazon.
Its incredibly lightweight cordless design makes it easy to use. It also didn’t take long to assemble and it does a great job of picking up dust, pet hair, and food from floors, so it's a solid vacuum for homes with young children and pets.
We found that the motor is powerful but quiet, and the different features and modes (especially the boost feature) got rid of pet hair and kibble effectively. If you're looking for a high-quality vacuum cleaner worth the investment, the Dyson V10 Cordless Stick Animal Vacuum Cleaner is a great option.
Samsung Jet 75 Stick Vacuum
If you're looking for a vacuum to tackle pet hair on multiple surfaces, this Samsung stick vac is it. Awarded the best overall vacuum for pet hair, the vacuum has three modes and a five-layer HEPA filter to capture dust, hair, and dander, so you can breathe clean air while vacuuming. We noticed that it picked up fur from our couches, too. In addition to being hard on pet hair, it's also one of the quieter vacuums we tested, a bonus for any pet owner.
Black + Decker Handheld Cordless Vacuum
This Black + Decker cordless handheld vacuum's suction power works hard even on its lowest setting, easily removing crumbs and dirt from car seats and other hard-to-reach places. It draws in dust and dirt like a magnet and is lightweight and comfortable to hold, so you can use the handheld vacuum for extended periods.
Although it only weighs 2.4 pounds, the dustbuster packs a punch. It won an award for the best value among the 30 handheld vacuums and dustbusters we tested. Its low price doesn't mean you're getting a lower quality vacuum, though, and it's on sale for even less right now.
Hoover Onepwr Evolve Pet Vacuum
The Hoover Onepwr Evolve Pet Vacuum held up the best on hardwood floors when it came to pet hair. In our lab tests, it picked up 75 percent of debris from the floor in just three minutes. It also has a long battery life, so you can pull it out and use throughout the week as needed. It is straightforward to empty and reassemble, and it only weighs 7 pounds, which makes it convenient for carrying up and down the stairs.
Vacuums are a must-buy, but can be expensive when they aren't on sale. Whether you're looking for something portable for on-the-go, heavy-duty, or lightweight and suitable for all floor types, we've done the research to show you which one deserves a spot in your utility closet.
