We second and third votes on the animal hair model of Dyson (has a special head for vaccuming hair from furniture upholstery). Cost a bit more than some but it's well worth it. We got it while living in CA with 4 cats, brought it to Volcano, and it performs just great for us and our (now) 2 cats. Humidity doesn't seem to affect it.
