Pet-related evidence is very positive: reviewers say it handles pet hair and broader pet messes well, with one review explicitly recommending it for pet owners.
Pros: Overall opinion, Suction and Airflow

Pet-hair evidence was positive where tested: car interiors, sofas, pet bedding, and carpet fibers were handled well, though the standard model is not the dedicated pet variant.

Pet-hair pickup is a clear strength, with both lab-style and owner evidence saying it handles pet hair well.

Pros: Accessories and Tools, Filtration / Dust Containment
Cons: Maneuverability and Handling, Weight
Pet readiness was generally strong thanks to pet-hair tools and hair pickup, with some caveats around the motorized brush.

Cons: Hair Pickup — Carpets, Price and Value

Pros: Overall opinion, Suction and Airflow
Cons: Ongoing ownership costs (bags, filters, batteries), Hose length
Pet capability is mixed: reviewers liked the pet tool and pet-focused design, but lab testing said pet owners should not treat it as the best option.

Cons: Cord length, Hair‑Wrap / Tangle Resistance
Pet tooling impressed some reviewers, especially the powered pet attachment, but other testing found hair wrap, stalling, and weak pet-hair results on carpet.

Cons: Hair‑Wrap / Tangle Resistance, Weight
Pet-oriented evidence was mixed, with strong pet-hair praise in some tests but poor pet-hair handling in another review.

Pet-related evidence is mixed: one comparison frames the 400 as better for people without pets, while another review says the included attachments can handle pet-hair cleanup.

Pros: Suction and Airflow, Overall opinion
Cons: Onboard tool storage, Controls and UI
Pet-hair feedback was mixed: some reviewers liked its couch or family pet usefulness, while others said filtration and pet-hair handling kept it from being a top pet choice.

Cons: Accessories and Tools, Filtration / Dust Containment
Pet suitability was context-dependent: light-to-moderate pet homes scored better, while one heavy long-haired pet test strongly criticized the pet positioning.
Pros: Overall opinion, Floorhead design

Pet readiness is limited: reviewers praised straight-suction cleaning but warned that animal hair on wall-to-wall carpet or weak turbo tooling can be a problem.
