What vacuum would you recommend with having a pet?

Question

I'm looking for something around $100. I have a dog that sheds black hair all over the place and I need something really good that will acutally suck it up, not just move it around. Also, where do I get it?

Answer 1

Go for something with 12 amps. Anything less is a waste of time. Some will say they're equivalent to 12 amps, but that's just not true. I bought a Bissel  12 amp vacuum at K mart and it's been fine (I have 3 long-haired cats and 3 dogs).
