Handheld Vacumn Cleaners

Does anyone with house bunnies have one? If so which one have you got and is it any good?

I was looking at the Dysons, but they are so expensive, and one only gets six minutes battery life with each charge! I've found a Hoover Jarvis Pets one, which is 40quid on Amazon, which looks quite good, but any recommendations?

I have the Dyson, 6 mins doesnt sound like a lot but that would be constant use. I find it an absolute godsend as it is so powerful so would deffo reccommend it.

I think I managed to find mine in a sale last year though, I dont think I could have justified paying full price for it.

Our huparents have found the hand held ones a waste of time. Hudad has a Numatic James, the yellow one, and it lifts all our poops with ease. It just keeps blocking up with all of the hay we throw everywhere

I have an old one that is just useless - blocks up instantly, but I just use a dustpan & brush for hay bits etc.

what about one of them lint picker uper things, I know they are ancient but you might findone in a second hand shop. I used to love doing my nans carpet with it x

With the Dyson Katie, does yours clog up from the fur? I used to use our bagless vacuum cleaner to suck up Josephine's fur and it ended up blocking the machine and ruining it. I thought it could be because it was bagless, maybe having a bag would contain the fur more?

I was thinking about getting a Dyson but didn't want to spend heaps of money on something that the fur will just ruin soon anyway.

On the which website it says one of the dyson hand helds doesn't do well with pet fur. it was the DC16

I dont have any trouble with mine. Ive got a full size dyson which I have not had any trouble with either.....although there is not a massive amount of hair to be fair....its more hay.

They do do a range called "Animal" which is specifically for pet hairs - I think it has special filters. My MIL has one for her dog and she says its fab.

i forgot which we have but i think its a wate of time,with how much mess the kiddies make,its just quicker and easier to get the hoover out

I use an old dust pan and brush too! Always good to have a sweep before hoovering, stops it getting blocked....as much

I'm with you guys on this :thump:

I did consider buying a handheld hoover once but decided to just carry on as I was.

Thumper had her own dust pan
