I bought the Dyson Animal to help remove some of the insane amount of pet hair that my dogs like to accumulate everywhere they go.  One of my major concerns was hairs in my vehicle.  I was having the hardest time finding a vacuum that could remove the hairs from my SUV seats.  I was hoping that if I spent a good deal of money on a vacuum that would do the trick.  Well, it didn't really happen.  Don't get me wrong, the Animal has proven to work very well on the carpet for all the indoor dog hairs but it just isn't very good in the vehicles.  I even bought the auto attachment and that doesn't work well at all.  So, if your main concern is your vehicle you might want to try something else.  This vacuum would not be my first choice.  But indoors it works great! 

 Also, just a little note....when I've had my vehicle detailed professionally they also have had a hard time removing all the dog hair.  They've even asked me what kinds of dogs I have since they were having such a hard time.  They always tell me "that's the best we could do with the hair...sorry".  So, take my advice however you like.  Afterall, it's only my opinion.  :)
