The Best Vacuum Cleaners for Pet Owners
Pets may be our best friends, but pet hair and dander are both unwanted additions to any home.
A powerful, pet-friendly vacuum cleaner can make a world of difference and contribute to reduce symptoms of allergies and odours. This article will guide you through the best Miele vacuum cleaners for pet owners.
Why Choose a Pet-Specific Vacuum Cleaner?
Pet-specific vacuum cleaners are designed with features that address the unique challenges posed by pet hair and dander.
Ordinary vacuum cleaners often struggle with the sheer volume of hair and the stubbornness with which it clings to fabrics and carpets.
Pet-specific models typically include powerful suction, specialised brushes, and enhanced filtration systems to ensure that pet hair, dirt, and allergens are effectively removed from your home.
What Are the Best Features to Look for in a Vacuum Cleaner?
Brushes
Specialised brushes and brush systems, such as Miele’s TurboBrush Mini, Turboteq and Electrobrushes are essential for pet owners.
These brushes are designed to lift and remove pet hair from carpets and upholstery efficiently. They always include bristles that agitate the carpet fibres or reach deep into the pile, making it easier to pick up even the finest hair, skin proteins and other debris.
Filters
High-quality filters are a must when it comes to maintaining air quality in homes with pets. The Miele pet vacuum range includes several filtration options, including the Active AirClean filter in the Complete C3 models, Hygiene filter in the Duoflex models, and HEPA filters in our Triflex and Boost models.
The HEPA filter is particularly effective with finedust, allergens and viruses, capturing 99.999%* of fine dust and allergens, which is beneficial for both pet owners and those with allergies.
Our Active AirClean filter contains a layer of active charcoal to reduce unpleasant odours while vacuuming, ensuring a fresh smelling room and experience.
Suction Power
Strong suction power is a must-have for removing embedded pet hair and dirt. Miele’s vacuum cleaners, such as the Complete C2 and C3 models, offer a combination of powerful motors, streamlined airflow and efficient brushes that ensure thorough cleaning of both carpets and hard floors.
Even if hairs are firmly embedded in the weave of carpets or fabric, these powerful motors and brush and suction systems do a great job of dislodging them.
BrilliantLight
The Miele Triflex HX2 Cat & Dog's BrilliantLight illuminates dark corners and under furniture, making it easy to spot and pick up pet hair and dust. With its extra-bright LED light, even the smallest particles are visible for a superior clean.
