does it pick up animals?

Squirrels can be especially annoying, I relocated my sensor to avoid one certain pest who would climb down in front of the unit.

If you position the unit low enough you may pick up animals that enter the field. We have a small dog that when he runs down the driveway we hear it beep, which for us is good.

Yes mine will pick up the occasional cat but typically the alarm will sound only once for animals/people, twice for cars.

Yes, the unit works off of passive infrared, which means the unit needs to see a change in temperature in motion to detect. So anything with a heat signature and moving within the detection area will be picked up.

I've been able to pick up some pretty small stuff, but I guess if your dog's poop is smaller than the distance between the wires, it wouldn't work as well.

It pulls up dead grass. It probably won't work if the grass has live roots.

It does a very good job picking up pet hair on floors and rugs in upright mode. The power hand tool does a good job on upholstery, but it takes some practice and more than one pass with my cat's hair. Make sure to clean the dirt cup and the cyclonic filter regularly though.

currently have no pets. due to weak suction I doubt it would work very well to get lots of pet hair picked up.

This cleaner is very powerful for a lightweight unit. I feel it did an excellent job of removing dirt from deep down in my carpet. I don't have pets but feel it would pick up whatever is in the carpet. Good luck!

sorry, we don't have any animals at our cottage. however, it picked up sand, crumbs, bugs etc very well.i suspect it would pick up dog & cat hair, too.

Don't have a pet, but I can tell you it does pick up bebris from floors and carpets. Have also used it to clean along baseboards and ceilings. Hope this helps.

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 haven't tried that--I don't have a cat, but I would guess that it would pick up cat litter. It picks up pretty well.

The machine should pick up animal hair with no problems. It cannot traverse stairs, so you would have to move it yourself.

I don't know. We have no pets. It does pick up human hair from the bathroom tile.

It has fingers that go thru the grass to pickup loose material and unless it is fresh, I would thin k it would pick it up too

It can pick up whatever a swiffer cloth picks up. Dirt and sand? Maybe a little. I find it's great for dust and pet hair...

I don't have a dog, but I do have a young child. The vacuum picks up small toys, marbles, etc., so I would bet it could also pick up dog food.

Yes it does. I have 2 cats and a kitten and it does a great job of picking up everything.
