The Miele Complete C3 Cat & Dog Canister Vacuum Cleaner is the top of the line in terms of best canister vacuum for

pet hair.  Not only does it use a strong electric powerhead with agitating bristles, but it also has a charcoal filter for an odor-eliminating clean.  This Complete C3 comes with a dusting brush, crevice tool, and upholstery tool to help you clean your entire home.  While each Miele canister vacuum with a 2-motor system can handle pet hair, the Miele Cat & Dog canister vacuum is the only with the odor-eliminating charcoal filter, which is ideal for homes with pets.

The SEBO Airbelt K3 Pet Canister Vacuum is also one of the best vacuums for pet hair on the market currently.  The height adjusting ET-1 powerhead is perfect for any style of carpeting, while the hand turbo brush that is included with it will take care of any hair on your furniture.  The 37 foot cleaning radius allows for a long-range clean without needing to unplug constantly.  At only 12 lbs, this SEBO canister vacuum is ideal for multi-floor homes and quick clean ups.  The on-board tools also help make cleaning up after your dog or cat a breeze.

Each vacuum has its own line of tools to properly assist you in cleaning after your furry

friends.  Miele vacuums use the STB101 Hand Turbo Brush while SEBO uses the Handheld Turbo Brush; both use an air-driven agitator brush to remove hair and dander from your furniture and stairs.  Electrolux canister vacuums take it one step further with the EL8AS Hand Power Brush, which is a motorized head to remove dirt and dust from deep inside your couch and bed. Miele also has the SFD20 Extended Flexible Crevice Tool to help get those hairballs from in between couch cushions and other hard-to-reach areas.

Looking to groom your pets in a more sanitary way?  Here are three grooming attachments that can be used with your vacuum to keep stray hairs at a minimum.  The Pet Grooming Curry Comb is best for curly haired dogs, as its short pins remove tangles and mats while the Pet Grooming Pin Brush is ideal for dogs with a thick coat to remove the dead undercoat and debris that would otherwise irritate the skin.  Then there is the Soft Pet Grooming Brush for short-haired dogs that shed frequently.  This brush is great for stimulating the dog’s skin while also removing hair.

Each company uses an anti-microbial lining vacuum bag with a tight seal around the entry to prevent odors and allergens from escaping back into the air of your home.  Electrolux has anti-odor filter bags and HEPA filtration, while Miele has a charcoal filter dedicated to reducing pet odors.  SEBO filter bags come with a plastic cap to prevent any dust or allergens from spilling out during disposal.

No matter what machine you choose from this guide, you can be guaranteed that it will be strong enough to handle every member of your furry family.
