I've had my Miele cat and dog vacuum for almost 4 years and it has consistently outperformed all other vacuum clearners I've ever had.
I almost didn't buy it because the sales person said that it's only suitable for pets with short hair - so I was worried that long human hair would cause problems. There was no need for my concern though, it's been wonderful at picking up long hairs (I've had to resort to using the nozzle to pick them up with most vacuums - and a friend used to use sellotape to pick them off the floor before getting a Miele).
After almost 4 years the Miele cat and dog vacuum has suffered its' first problem - the vacuum head stopped going round (possibly due to long hair getting tangled in it). I'll admit that the £70 ish replacement wasn't cheap but on balance I'd prefer to get a new vacuum head every 4 years than to waste hours struggling to vacuum up long hair.
I can't remember exactly what I paid for the machine itself - somewhere around £350 (from John Lewis).
