Dyson and Oreck were rated poorly with Consumer Reports magazine.

They rated the Sears Kenmore number one so I bought it.

It's the very best vacuum I've ever owed. It's very strong and you can shut down the beater bar if your worried about long hair.

Read October 2006 Consumer Reports they give you a lot of great info. on vacuums. But please stay away from Dyson and Oreck I've heard too many people say they don't like them.

Dyson has a damn good vacuum, but it is not cheap.

From what I understand the Dyson is the best pick...it never gets clogged and lasts longer then the less expensive vacuums. I have never heard of anyone hating their Dyson. The investment may be worth it.

If you are around an HHGregg I suggest you price the other guys first and then go to them, they will beat the best offer and possibly give you a much better offer...haggle, it's worth it!

Dyson's are the best way to go ultimately but in the mean time, my suggestion is turn that vacuum over and cut the hair straight down the middle - depending on how your bristles are - and pull it off. Its worked for me and I've had a Target bought Bissell for 5 years now.

I had the same problems that you are having. I have 4 daughters and a wife all with long hair plus 3 dogs. I would go to walmart and buy a cheap vacuum and always have the same problems. I bought a an Oreck xl online and have not had any problems with it. Hope this helps.

First thing I recommend is keep lots of lint rollers on hand all the time. I have two cats (one is a long-haired), plus I have long hair. I have a Eureka bagless and it works really well. I always take a lint roller to all of my furniture and I look for areas on my floor where a lot of hair gathers. After using the lint roller, I vacuum (I have attachments for my furniture, which really helps). Also, once a day, use your lint roller on your pet (my cats love it) to pick up any loose hair.
