I had the same problem in my previous apartment plus also having two
long-haired cats. I broke down and got the Hoover Wind Tunnel. I am amazed how much it picks up. It has a "self-propel" feature which might be what you are looking for.

It would help if you got a good brush (perhaps a "slicker brush" and brushed them daily. *The cats would probably love the attention.MLB The OP said she used the Furminator, which is a great brush. I have an Oriental rug, which is difficult to vacuum. Cat hair just sticks to it like glue. I've had the best luck using the sticky roller on it before vacuuming. You probably don't want to do that in your entire apartment, but you could try it in some of the high-traffic areas. As for a vacuum, we bought a used Royal commercial vac on ebay. It really sucks up the cat hair (we have two cats) and hasn't clogged. Here's a model similar to what we bought: http://www.royalvacuums.com/Commerci...ts/M1028Z.aspx We paid $70 plus shipping. It's easy to repair and very simple in design. I'm happy with it. |

Bissell seems like a good vaccuum cleaner. You see them every year on Animal
Planet during the Kitty Half-time show. But then again they sponsor it. "ensoul" wrote in message ...

When we had an Oriental carpet, the only thing that would get the cat hair off of it was a wet sponge. Maybe the OP could use a sponge mop. |

I had a friend suggest the sponge mop it does work well but I end up in a lot of pain because of having bilateral thoracic outlet syndrome and bilateral carpal tunnel that's why I asked in my orginal post for something that is easy to push and pick it up well... easy to get lost in shuffle I said the following...the rug is cheap very flat and their fur is very diffucult to get off and keep off the rug it had clogged up & broken one one vacuum cleaner all ready, a Eukeka Power Plus, 12 amps The Boss..I do use the furminator brush dailey...Stacey suggested the self propeled Hoover Wind Tunnel....I live in a small town only place to shop is wal-mart..my income is very limited being on Worker's Comp thanks all lynn |
