Any recommendations for one that can be used with arthritis in hands ?

Dog groomer can’t give appointment until 11th September,
one of my little dogs is moulting and I can’t use my upright
cleaner

The Dyson does require you to hold down the 'on' button, I suppose so that you don't leave it on and drain the battery.

I've just whizzed round with mine, it's useful but I wouldn't say the best (the top filter fell out and scattered more than I had picked up!).
Other posters may recommend a different make.

Can you give him/her a good brush outside or on a floor that can be swept? A broom plus dust pan and longhandled brush might be easier.

You need the lightest one of all. Not sure which that would be, but we have 2 - Dyson and G Tech. I think the G Tech is lighter than the Dyson, and not so expensive?

I should have added that the Dofly one in the link is light
