Meet the Mercedes Benz of vacuums without the price, because fashionista pet owners have to clean up too.

We all love our pets, but we know they can leave hair and dander everywhere.  Don’t let the cute face fool you. Our pets leave an incredible amount of debris, even when we religiously try and clean up after them. According to the American Lung Association, “Cats are kept as pets in 27 percent of homes in the United States and dogs are found in 32 percent. However, roughly twice as many people report allergies to cats when compared to dogs. Animals with fur may be more likely to carry allergens from other sources, like dust.” That’s why it’s important for pet owners to vacuum their carpets often.

It’s like we are on full-time nanny duty. Our hearts go out to those that have more than one pet. Cleaning up is a vicious cycle that we do with love and a permanent smile. We love it. Yes, we do.

Most people have been through vacuum after vacuum, dealing with tangled pet hair or motors shorting out. Many ending up with a vacuum graveyard in their closet because we refuse to throw them out because they just might work one day. Some brave souls take it in for repair only to find out the cost is the same amount you paid for the vacuum. But is it ever really ‘fixed?’

We’ve tried the cheaper ones. Just because, hey, you never know. Only to find out that the deal wasn’t worth it. Then we usually get desperate and go for a higher priced vacuum. The first month or two, everything is fine, and then one day the suction stops working.

We’ve been searching long and wide for the perfect vacuum for pet owners. One that not only functions great but will last for many years. We were looking for a vacuum like your grandma had. Heavy, powerful and one that always worked.

And then we found Miele. Miele’s website boasts, “Since being founded in 1899 Miele has followed its ‘Forever Better’ brand promise. This means: We do everything we can to always be better than all other suppliers and strive to be better than we already are. For our customers, this means the peace of mind of knowing that choosing Miele is a good decision – and probably the decision of a lifetime.”

We were up for the challenge.  We wanted something specifically for the hair and dander we couldn’t see and for all surface types. The Dynamic U1 Cat & Dog Upright Vacuum with its sleek design and super sophisticated interior and bag had us at sold. It has a SwivelNeck which makes it easier to move around and the vacuum just has substance.

 

You feel like you have a real vacuum that was designed to last. It was super quiet and pleasant to use because you can feel the quality. The height adjusts. I’ll wait. Yes, everyone is not the same height, and Miele knows this. It has an Active AirClean Filter which means it proactively doesn’t push all of the debris back into your air. This vacuum is meant for all surfaces. It will swoop across your floors and get down and dirty on your carpets. The Dynamic has a great carpet brush which left carpets looking like the day you moved in. The rotating brush ensures thorough deep cleaning of hard-wearing carpets and cleans carpets thoroughly and gently and restores the pile. Provided you don’t have wear and tear. Best of all, it removed all the pet debris. There was no need to go over anything a second time. The Dynamic U1 retails for $549, and it’s worth every penny. You are guaranteed not to be disappointed. We are guessing it will be your brand for life.
