Has anyone used this with dog hair? I have a lab and am wondering if it will keep up?

I rescue cats, so I currently have 7 adult cats in my 2-bedroom apartment, with all hardwood floors. I just bought this and was very impressed the first time I used it. I have had a number of different vacuums with varying degrees of effectiveness and I finally settled on this one because it seemed more well-made than other sweeper vacs I've tried. Parts seem more durable. I felt like it was really picking up the hair, and the dust. Walking around the apartment afterwards the floors felt really clean. I think it would work for a dog. Also nice: long cord meant I didn't have to keep plugging into different outlets as i moved from room to room, and it did a decent job on my low pile bedroom area rug too. Hope this helps.

I have a cat and it does well on hard surfaces and low pile carpet. It does not have a roller brush but it's very powerful with a long cord. I think you would like it. You still may want a heavy duty vac for deep cleaning and upholstery. I rarely use mine and almost daily use the Fuller.

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.

Absolutely! I actually only use it on my dog when she is dry and it gets out tons of fur. I have a lab mix and it seems to get out different parts of her coat than the furminator does...its fabulous and she loves the way it feels! Make sure you use it outside though...because the hair goes flying!

Wow never had any problems with hair build up in the beater brush and I have to Labrador Retrievers that blow their coats twice a year and shed constantly. Use the Miele daily so maybe I just stay ahead of the problem.

i wonder what kind of material you are using it on and what you are trying to get out of the fabric? Some fabrics won't release dog hair, no matter how good the brush I've noticed!

I have a yellow lab, so lots of doggy hair. Yes, I would still vacuum before using the carpet cleaner. The basket does hold the excess hair. This machine works very nicely. Easy to operate...

I use Scotch-Brite inside the house for picking up lint. I haven't tried it on pet hair but it should work.

Yes, we have LOTS of dog hair to pick up and it sort of clogs the canister and keep is from dumping. I have to use my hand to drag it out. Not a big deal, but a deal....

We own a black short hair dog. I think it does a very good job of getting her hair off the carpet, dog bed and furniture. The suction is excellent. The bag is very easy to change also. However, the bag does retain smells. My husband swears it smells like dog after I sweep, so I bought tablets you put in the bag to hide odors. I don't smell dog myself.

It's not designed to collect hair like a traditional brush. It's just supposed to cut the undercoat and pull it away. I always brush my dogs outside or in the garage because the hair goes flying everywhere.

I have two dogs and this vacuum works excellent to get up the dog hair. I have never had a better vacuum that did this good of a job. Highly recommend.

I think it would do good. I've always used a shop vac but this has a great suction & is so light & portable, I would definitely think it would be ideal. I use it for dog hair- lab to be specific- and have no complaints after 6 months.

Yes, it stays in place very well. The dog hair easily shakes out if it as well. I love it!

Yes, I have a dog with long thick hair. The trimmer cuts through it easily and evenly in one pass. Bathe and dry your pet first to keep the hair from sticking together. After use, just keep it clean and oiled. It is also very quiet which helps keep my dog calm. I have never had any problem with it.

I have a dog the sheads a medium amount (weekly vacuuming is ok). And I haven't found any hair stuck to the ball. It doesn't feel sticky and it hasn't gotten a hair grabbing charge like a rubbed balloon either. So it shouldn't be an issue.

Not sure if it would work for dog hair in a shag- I had that same issue & finally just got rid of the rug. I bought the broom to use in a hair salon & it works great for that. Someone had recommended a shop vac for the rug.

Your asking for a lot of problems if you want a Roomba to go after "enormous" fluffy dog hair piles. The brush on the Roomba will only hold a certain amount of hair and then it's time to pop the brush out and take a wire brush to it for cleaning. I wouldn't suggest a Roomba to anyone who owns a dog that sheds a great deal expecially if it were a long haired dog. They would surely be disappointed in the amount of work it took keeping the brush working properly.
