A pet may be a beloved member of your family\u2014bringing plenty of love and snuggles\u2014but they also tend to bring extra fur into your home. From floors to furniture, pet hair has a way of showing up everywhere. Thankfully, the right vacuum can make staying ahead of shedding much easier and less time-consuming.<\/p>\n

Our top picks:<\/h2>\n

At the Good Housekeeping Institute Home Care & Cleaning Lab<\/a>, we continuously test new vacuums on carpet, hardwood, upholstery, and more, paying special attention not only to overall performance but also to how well they handle stubborn pet hair. Below are the models\u2014from lightweight stick vacuums<\/a> to hands-off robot vacs<\/a>\u2014that delivered the strongest performance in our tests.<\/p>\n

WHY WE LOVE IT:<\/strong> <\/strong>Bissell\u2019s Pet Hair Eraser Turbo Plus is a powerful, user-friendly upright vacuum that excels at picking up pet hair\u2014whether from a small cat or a large dog. Its standout feature is the hands-free, internal hair spooling system that neatly collects pet hair into a clump inside the canister, so you don\u2019t have to reach in and pull out loose, tangled messes.<\/strong> The floor nozzle also includes a tangle-free brush roll that helps prevent hair from wrapping around the bristles and clogging the machine.<\/p>\n

HOW IT PERFORMED: <\/strong>This model earned high marks in our Lab, performing especially well across all floor types thanks to its strong suction and practical features. Our consumer testers noted that its combination of attachments and tools made it especially effective for cleaning up after pets of all sizes. \u201cThis vacuum’s combination of features and tools was ideal for picking up the hair of both small and large pets,” one of our testers said.<\/p>\n

We also appreciated the thoughtful extras designed specifically for pet owners\u2014like the Febreze Pet Odor Eliminator filter, which helps control odors, and the LED-lit crevice tool that reveals hidden pet hair in dark corners. The sealed filtration system does a solid job trapping allergens inside the vacuum. And compared to other upright models, we found it relatively lightweight, though its .75 L dust cup capacity is smaller than that of similar uprights. <\/p>\n
