I have a lab dog, who sheds a lot! Will the roomba pick up the inch long hair and hold it in the bin in one go around?

Probably so. I have 4 dogs and a shedding cat and it seems to do a good job. Not sure how it does on carpets, however.

Yes. I have a St. Bernard and a German shepherd. I also have long hair and shed a lot. The roomba has been an awesome investment for my sanity!

It should. A lot depends on the amount of floor space that you're trying to vacuum at one time. I personally break my house into smaller zones so that the robot does a more efficient job. My first floor for example is about 1000 sq ft, and I use invisible walls and lighthouses to break that into two sections. Our cat (and wife) sheds and the robot does a fine job picking up the hair. Although admittedly you will spend some time after each use pulling hair out of the brushes. A minor annoyance given the convenience.

We have 1 BIG black lab, 2 other dogs, and 8 cats... all 11 are inside. When we do the whole house I will have to empty 3-4 times, so I would think that it could handle your the hair from your 1 lab dog in one go around just fine.

Yes it will, I bought if for the same reason, Golden Retriever, this machine is really good dealing with all the hair. I'm very happy with it and can recommend it without any doubt.

I have a dog that sheds quite a bit. I use my roomba on 6 rooms i only empty the bin when it docks.

It picks up a lot of cat hair from my long-haired cat. The key to getting all the hair in one go around is keeping up with it and not letting it get too built up in the house between Roomba-rounds. Short answer: yes, it should not have a problem with your Lab's hair.

I have a Corgi and a cat. Corgis shed continuously all year. My Roomba does a great job. I use it every day in the main area of my house not the bedrooms because I keep those doors closed. I have ceramic tile in the living area, kitchen and hall. It definitely cleans those floors in one sweep. I think it would work great if used daily. I love my Roomba!!!

I have a shedding dog as well. It will pick up the hair but you may have to empty the bin depending on how big of an area you are setting the roomba in

get the sage pet roomba ... My orginal roomba finally gave up and it was a pain to clean the pet hair out .... the pet model is MUCH easier to clean out!

I have laminate flooring, and it works fine on that. I do like this vacuum but it does have an issue with emptying the canister if you have long-haired pets. I have a Samoyed that sheds long, white hair. The vacuum picks up the hair beautifully, but more often than not I have to pull the hair out of the canister when emptying it. This would not prevent me from buying it again, just thought I'd mention it.

I only have a short haired dog and it de-sheds a lot of her hair... have to do it a couple times a week, not FurMaster's fault... just the dog.

Simple answer NO! We have two dogs that shed and three cats. No problems with hair pickup.

I have a cocker spaniel, it gets most hair, but not all. I did go from vacuuming the house 2-3 times a week to once a month with the Rumba running 3 days a week. Biggest thing is if you clean it out every time or every couple of times you will be ok for most hair.

long hair does not seem to get stuck in the bristles or get wrapped around the head when the vacuum is used on hard wood floors or tile, probably because the head is not spinning. I imagine it would if you have a lot of carpet. I have lots of pets, long hair, and primarily hard wood floors, and highly recommend the vacuum....it works great!

It does pick up more deep down dirt and some of the long hair. But you are still going to get it in the brushes. I have 2 dogs and a wife with long hair. with the new bin I could tell with the first round it picked up more than the old bin. It is kinda like one of the wind tunnel vacs now.

I just received mine today. And, I had asked the same question because I have short haired lab/beagle mix. I compared the short hair cat Furminator to the short hair dog Fuminator. The dimensions were exactly the same, but for some reason the cat model was cheaper, so I took a chance. I was afraid to get the long hair version because the blades are wider and I didn't want to risk the blade getting to close to her skin. Anyway, I tried it immediately and am very happy! It works perfectly!

Yes, unfortunately it does collect pet hairs. Our daughter's cat loves to get up on our bed, and it takes me a while get rid of the hair by using a giant lint roller.

This machine leaves clumps of pet hair on the floor in the same manner that the professional machine does- no more, no less. With both I simply hang a bag on the handle and pick it up as I go. It doesn't bother me as I see it is actually getting up the hair I have not seen or been able to get up with my vacuum.

We have a 560, our dog is a mini Schnauzer, so he doesn't shed. But, my husband is 80 yrs. old and he IS shedding, it picks up his hair very well. We really like our Roomba, would recommend it .

I have 4 cats and 1 dog. I've had my Roomba for about a year now and it's never had a problem picking up pet hair from tile. My cats in particular shed a lot, but the dirt container is never completely full. I recommend a Dyson for carpet, but Roomba is more than up to cleaning hard floors. That said, I do use Roomba in the bedroom (Berber carpet)occasionally because it gets under the bed better than anything else.

We had a yellow lab who shed hair like he manufactured it. It was no problem to empty. I emptied after each use. You may have to pick some out and brush some off the filters but I have had several portable vacs and have been more pleased with this than any other.

We have two Golden Labs, who are definitely "hairballs". You will have to empty the bin two or three times before the whole house is cleaned. We run the Neato daily between regular vacuuming. The answer to your question is YES the Neato does pick up pet hair.

Yes, the Dyson can pick up long dog hair. The trick is to periodically clean the roller in the vacuum head. I sew a lot and threads often accumulate on the floor. The Dyson vacuums them up too. But sometimes the very long pieces wrap around the roller rather than going into the dirt bin. This brand of vacuum is the best I have ever had, it has extremely good suction. You will love it.

We have a miniture long hair dachund that gets along fine with roomba. She just foes the other way or gets up high out othe way.
