A hairy situation

Love your pet, hate the pet hair? Consumer Reports, for the first time, has included scores for removing pet hair in its vacuum rankings. “The uprights and canisters that did best at regular cleaning also tended to do the best at removing pet hair from carpets in our latest tests,” an article in the March issue concludes.

Think twice before shelling out $570 for Dyson’s DC14 Animal upright. Though Dyson calls it “the most powerful upright for pet hair,” Consumer Reports rated it only fair in that category.

I'm definitely looking into this. My $60 Wal-Mart vacuum cleaner is about to crap out after three years, two cats and one dog.
