What's the best little canister vacuum for going around the house and sucking up cat hair?
Brian, this is similar to the vacuum that i use to pick up dog hair around the house. We have 2 German Shepherds that shed quite a bit during the 100degree summers that we get down here in Dallas. Our house has tile/hardwood everywhere accept for the bedrooms, which are carpet. I went to a local vacuum store with the hose fitting and got a 50ft hose, so i can vacuum the entire house without moving the canister.. The specific vacuum i have has a 10amp motor, and has more than enough power to have a good amount of suction even with the 50ft hose attached. BTW, i found my vacuum on Craigslist for 50$... about a mont after i bought it, it needed a new motor, at a cost of 200$.. But still 250$ for this beast is a heck of a deal in my opinion.. And, the last motor lasted 15 years... The bearings were going bad, this is why i needed to replace the entire motor and not just replace the brushes. Maybe you can find a similar deal on craisglist in your area?

Brian, for a "little canister" for cat hair, you might try this one . Brian! That's the design I was mentioning. Thanks, John. Handheld with a beater bar--and it's cheap! Now I want one, again.
Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.

My Dyson has a small beater-bar attachment that's great with the stairs.

I need something with a longer hose/nozzle to get to places, like under and behind the computer desk, under the bed, and bedroom furniture, etc.

It's like a Roomba but doesn't require batteries.

Yes, so long as you glue an ant to each hair.
