Anyone with dogs will know how tricky it is to eliminate hair around the home. With four dogs, I know this better than anyone.

Having tried countless vacuums in a quest to find the perfect solution, I'm convinced I've found it – the Miele Blizzard CX1 Cat & Dog Vacuum available at Amazon, which is currently on offer for a limited time only.

Here's why I think it's a worthy investment if you've been searching for the best vacuum for pet hair, and well worth the splurge. Get it before this popular appliance sells out!

I swear by this vacuum cleaner with four dogs at home

All prices were correct at the time of publication.

In my opinion, the Miele Blizzard CX1 Cat & Dog Bagless Canister Vacuum available at Amazon is the one essential you need if you live with pet. Although admittedly, it doesn't come cheap, which why I am shouting about the current discount.

As one reviewer puts it, 'It's the best vacuum I have ever owned, and also the most expensive I have ever purchased.'

What makes it so good, primarily, is that it's a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter, which works to remove and retain 99.999 % of even the smallest of fine dust and allergen particles, ideal for tackling the common allergens that plague our homes, like dander.

In terms of keeping a clean home when you have pets, it also features a 36-foot operating radius, which is handy for long-range cleaning without having to change outlets, while the electrobrush allows for intensive deep cleaning of all carpet types, further helping to banish pet odors all around the home.

It's also fully equipped with three high-quality standard attachments: an integrated upholstery nozzle, crevice nozzle, and dusting brush, and it's bagless, too, for maximum hygiene and easy dust container emptying.

The only thing to note is it's not the lightest option on the market, which is definitely something to keep in mind if you're someone with limited mobility or who relies on adaptive pacing for cleaning, for example.

Head of Solved, Punteha van Terheyden has chronic pain, weak wrists, and mobility issues, and she adds, 'I have this exact model at home and the turbo feature on the floor head alleviates any strain, and the usual wrist strain you'd otherwise feel on a heavier canister vacuum. It's been great with two shedding cats in the house and I highly recommend it. I bought it at full price and it was worth the spend, so this $209 discount makes it a great buy right now ahead of the Amazon Big Deal Days when vacuum deals can sell out quickly.'

All in all, it's the model I always recommend for people looking to reduce pet dander in a bedroom or anywhere else.
