<p>In my opinion / experience, the best way to clean in car cabin is a pair of dish washing rubber / latex gloves, static causes pet hair to stick, once you brush all the hair into a corner, you can either vacuum it or pick it up with your fingers. Pet hair "weaves" into carpet, low suction is not the problem, the lack of a motorhead / brushbar is what makes it hard to clean up.</p>

I have an Oreck and it tends to spit the fur out in clumps at random intervals. I'm also looking for a furniture attachment or even a separate vacuum. Any suggestions? Emilia isn't allowed on the couch, but her fur doesn't seem to know that.

Dyson so far hasn't died of fur poison. LOL. Target has good prices on them and some times you can use the 20% Bed Bath and Beyond coupon to get 1. Good luck.

Al & Gwynn are impressed! I guess there's more than one way to kill a vacuum -- use your fur, not your teeth! Good work, Otto.

<p>I can second the Hoover Windtunnel vote. I got the Windtunnel P.E.T.S. (which is the T series) in July. It's awesome. Until we can afford to drop $500 on a Dyson without thinking hard about it, this is really the next best thing. It doesn't lose suction and was around $100. The hose attachment is great although I miss the little brush/duster attachment from my last vacuum. And if the belt breaks, it's a freaking nightmare to get back on.

Funny, the vacuum scare is exactly the reason why I can leave it anywhere in the house and not worry about it being chewed up. Shiro won't go near that thing!

<p>Out of all low priced vacuums Eureka is very good. You can find one for under $100. I've had mine for 4 years and my dad had it before me. The filter is small, but it's easy to remove and clean it, I just rinse mine with water and let it dry. </p>
<p>In the meantime I'm dreaming about Dyson Animal, but that's about 10X the price of my Eureka</p>
