We go thru a vacuum every couple of years, and have to open our computers every three months to blow the fur out. But we stopped complaining last year after watching a yellow lab for a friend. Our vacuum simply couldn't pick up those stiff hairs of the lab.
Let's see, some other things we do. Every summer when my wife is out for the day I open all the doors and windows and use my leaf blower to clean the house. It works very well! Also, at the end of every winter when the temp hits fifty for the first time in seven months, all the dogs get piled into the car and we race down the Interstate with all the windows open. We call it the Furball Express. The dogs come back remarkably free of loose fur, though the car is a mess of fur and slobber.
