How well does this handle dog hair? Even after vacuuming first the cleaner I have plugs with hair, looses suction and I have to stop to clean.

It doesn't lug up much but it brings the hair to the top of the carpet then you have to pick it up by hand. It doesn't have a big enough suction hole to suck up the dog hair honestly but like I said it does bring it up to the top of the carpet so you can pick it up. I then take mine completely apart after every use to make sure I do get the small amounts of dog hair out of the moving parts on it.

I have had this cleaner for about a week. I have vacuumed and vacuumed prior to use and yes, I still get tons of pulled up hair into the machine. I have taken the covers off the base machine by removing the 5 screws and had to rinse and use a shop-vac to pull out any extra hair, put back together and then start using again. However, even with this hassle, the machine, both the upright and the detachable unit, have cleaned VERY well. I also have let the base unit dry well underneath and then shop vacuumed out any remaining hair. That helped with better functioning. I guess it may be the price we animal lovers pay for all the tiny hairs that a vacuum can't pull up but the shampooer does! Over all, the units have cleaned better than other brands we have had previously. Hope any of this response helps you!

Shouldn't be a problem - not an issue with our long hair cats. You'll have to stop more to fill and empty the tanks.

I would think things like dog hair would clog the reels-we always vacuum before cleaning to help remove the loose debris to prevent this but I havent used it on any heavy dog or pet hair-always vacuum first especially heavy piles-this a cleaner not a vacuum so vacuuming first is the key-hope that helps but havent had any issues and seems like different circumstances-have you contacted the manufacturer and followed their manual

This vacuum cleaner works reat on picking up my dog's hair. On hardwoord floors, I turn off the brush and strictly use the suction. The brush is off so it does not scratch the floor from repeated use. The small rotating brush that comes ith the unit works great on furniture. I have no regrets buying this unit.

Don't have a pet, but I probably wouldn't recommend it if you have a lot of pet hair. It's suction power is not nearly that of a full size vac.

Hello,My dog has a great deal of hair and when I use this tool it seems to be removing what is usually on all my carpets. I have not noticed at all that it seems to be cutting the hair in any way. I hope this helps.

It does a pretty good job on pet hair. We have 3 cats and a dog inside. The dog's hair tends to be coarse and the vac doesn't pick it up quite as well as I'd like, but then neither does my expensive Oreck. The Hoover does do a good job on the dust-bunny type little poofs of cat hair (but performs very poorly on cat litter). That said, l still give this vac an overall very good rating.

I have no pets now,however; I taught my cats and a cocker spaniel to let me vacuum THEM. Scared at first, but then they loved it (especially during the high- shedding time of the year). I lost these pets long before I got the air machine. I would say that you could just use a hand held vac up to the front cover of it to clean it off. The filters are inside the box and should no be affected by the hair. I hope this helps

It does work great for picking up dog hair..but the vacuum itself wasn't designed well!!! I wouldn't get 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.

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.

Thank you for refunding for this vacuum we have two gold retrievers and they are inside dogs in our house so you could only imagine how much hair. It does get stuck in the roller and you have to clean it out just after vacuuming one hardwood floor room. I believe I got a lemon but that is ok amazon took care of me and everything is ok in my book. Thank you for your support!

Let me put it this way, my hair is down to my ...you know...and It picks it up. It gets wound around the roller brush because it is so long but it is simple to remove. When I vacuum my carpet and I pull out the filter to empty out what it picked up...I am amazed at how much pet hair was on the filter and it pulls off in one piece. I am so happy I bought the Eureka Easy Clean so I don't have to pull out the big vacuum anymore when I want to vacuum while the pets are shedding this time of year. Please keep in mind that I have a regular carpet, not shag, so I don't know how it works on that but I bet it would work just fine on that too!

I would buy the Bissell Sweeper. It works really well, for in between clean up. It's great with the dog hair...am very pleased with it.

In my experience, it works well for picking up pet hair from the hardwood and tile floors, and from the suede couch fabric...I tried it on my area rug out of curiosity and it didn't do very well. My biggest complaint, though, is in emptying the canister. You have to take the filter out and apart (the filter has 2 parts) to get the pet hair unstuck, and you have to use your fingers to get it out. I actually might return this dust buster because of this. I'm really disappointed, because I LOVE everything else about it except the emptying part with the pet hair.

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 had several "bagless" vacuums recently and I find that the receptacles fill up far too quickly, and they seem not to have the suction that this one does. This is a superior vacuum if you have pet hair on your rugs.

I find the suction is really good with the attachments. I do have to be careful to not accidentally whisk by an unintended target and suck it up. I will have to say...on another subject.... that it is really hard to get a good suction on an uneven carpet. I purchased a rug with different heights and I find that the vacuum is not heavy enough to get a good suction. I have to go over it numerous time to get the dirt (front hall rug). Now I wish it was a little heavier to really get a good suction.
