Best 2017 Vacuums for Pet-Ready Features

#1 Black+Decker 20V Pivot Vac Cordless Handheld Vacuum
4.7

Pet-related evidence was favorable: reviewers reported strong animal-hair pickup, especially on upholstery and mats, and one parent/pet-owner review treated it as a household essential.

Pros: Suction and Airflow, Ease of use

Cons: Filtration / Dust Containment, Build quality and durability

#2 NaceCare Henry HVR160 Compact Vacuum

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.

Pros: Suction and Airflow, Bin and Bag

Cons: Storage footprint and upright-stand stability, Floorhead design

#3 Kenmore Elite Canister Vacuum

Pet features are polarizing: several reviewers praised the Pet PowerMate and hair pickup, while lab testing found pet hair results below the product's name-driven promise.

Pros: Accessories and Tools, Filtration / Dust Containment

Cons: Maneuverability and Handling, Weight

#4 Miele Blizzard CX1 Bagless Canister Vacuum
4.3

Pet performance depends heavily on the model and floorhead: Cat & Dog reviews are excellent, while standard floorheads struggle with pets on carpet.

Pros: Overall opinion, Suction and Airflow

Cons: Hair Pickup — Carpets, Price and Value

Pros: Overall opinion, Weight

Cons: Hard Floor — Large Debris Intake, Cord length

#6 Eureka Blaze 3-in-1 Stick Vacuum

Pet readiness is mixed: it can pick up kibble and some hair, but reviewers criticized the missing pet brush and weak pet-hair extraction from fabric.

Pros: Overall opinion, Maneuverability and Handling

Cons: Emptying and Mess Control, Filtration / Dust Containment

#7 Bissell Zing Canister Bagless Vacuum
3.3

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.

Pros: Overall opinion, Weight

Cons: Accessories and Tools, Filtration / Dust Containment
