What's a good vaccuum for people with pets in Europe? (lemmy.world)

I had the Philips one but after about a year it's suction changed to the point where it's hard for it to pick up cat litter now..

It must be able to deal with a lot of cat hair and litter.. and preferably be under 500 euros.

Of course I think a corded one is better for my purposes, and I have mostly hard floors with a few small rugs.

The problem is that every year the quality decreases, so it becomes difficult to know which vacuums will still be good. For example, someone may have purchased the same vacuum 5 years ago and think it's great but the one sold today might not compare

Hi, I am currently traveling so no link right now, but hopefully a pointer in the right direction.

Philips sucks (I have one too). My parents had one of the more powerful Bosch (corded) vacuums. Think marketed for pets. They worked very well with pets, long haired dogs. Lasted over 10 years I reckon.

The issue is usually that the motor is not powerful enough. Due to EU regulations the maximum watt is limited. Make sure to check the kilopascal suction power. If it's not mentioned, it's probably poor!

I have only 2 cats these days and we get by 95% with a good Robo rock vacuum though. Sometimes a bit with the corded for some impossible to reach corners.

But Philips vacuums are supposed to suck!

sorry

Haha, yes but you will never finish the job with a Philips vacuum. ;)
