Not Vehicle Related At All
Could someone please recommend a good powerful vacuum.

Our household includes 2 long haired girls and our beloved American Akita. I’m sick fed up of going through 3 hoovers a year. Need something a bit more beefy and up to the task. Of course the stupid EU rules limiting motor power doesn’t help.

Even the “Henry” hoovers don’t look very powerful these days. Any recommendations very much appreciated. 4.6 RV8 110HT

Not sure if anything cordless is going to have the grunt required for all the hair involved..

Need a really good, easy to clean filtration system. That’s what’s killing my hoovers of old. The amount of Akita and girl hair clogging it. It’s almost impossible to clear from filter. 4.6 RV8 110HT

My house has 4/5 women with long hair and I've found the new Dyson light ball very good. You do have to cut the hair off the roller bar once a month but they have a long guarantee and I've found they have good customer service. Ray

Iam going on 10 years with a Simplicity vacuum. Two powerful motors that create great suction and have battled multiple cat and dog hair.

Easy to clean/get rid of hair etc?

Any I’ve had clog up with hair/dust to the point they are almost impossible to clean. The elements of the filter are so close together you can’t unclog them 4.6 RV8 110HT
