Dagon's fur managed to destroy my not-all-that-old Dirt Devil "Vision Wide Glide" vacuum, so I found myself in the market for a new vacuum. The Dirt Devil was crap and couldn't handle fur or crumbs or anything really.
Given my poor experience with Dirt Devil, I decided to look at other brands. I perused reviews on Amazon, which were ambiguous at best, and eventually remembered to ask my mom what vacuum she uses. "It's called Pet Hair Eraser," she said, "put out by Bissell."
Despite its stupid box and stupid name, it is a fabulous vacuum. I had to empty the container twice in the course of vacuuming my meager apartment. I highly recommend it to anyone with fuzzy flatmates.
