Not so good on pine leaves and small sticks. Works great on cat litter, leaves, dog hair, food crumbs on the floor.

It picks up hair floor my laminant flooring, which is amazing. I can't even sweep up the hair with a broom no matter how hard I try. I could honestly say that this was one of the best purshaces I ever made. I'm pretty sure it can pick up the pine needles. I used it to clean my car and it picked up all of the dirt and sand in it, I live close to the beach. I never tried picking up kitty litter, so I can't answer that question for you.

I never picked up pine needles or cat litter. This Bissell picks up anything we drop in the kitchen that is not liquid. Does a good fast cleanups on all the other floors in the house. Great little unit.

It works great for me. I have all tile floor in my home and it has no problem sucking up the cat litter and worked great for picking up all the pine needles from my christmas tree.

Yes. I used it for picking up small and large pecans from the yard. it works well by either rolling over the ground or by gently dropping it on the nut to pick it up.

It depends if the pine needles are dry or matted. If they are heavy I would say no. This is not a powerful blower. It's adequate for clearing sidewalks of grass clippings. Not much more.

I buy there Natures Miracle pine cat litter and mix it with clay litter. It smells good. I got 2 cats and I got to scoop poop everyday!

Ihave used it on pine and oak without any issues it will get a little bit loaded up after extended use but a wire bush takes care of that in a hurry!

Fredna- It does have a setting for pine needles. Our experience is with mixed oak leaves and Jeffrey pine needles. So far no issues. I suspect that if all you are loading into it is pine needles, you might have to avoid just dumping a bunch in. Instead you'd probably have to make sure you don't clog it. Large handfuls at a time would probably work fine. It uses plastic grass trimmer line (I bought a reel and cut my own lengths) and the pine needles might go through the line faster than it does with mostly leaves. But it's not very difficult to put new line in. As I mentioned in my review, it's a little awkward to put together. However, I'm in my second season of using it and am happy with it. I hope this answers your question, Brock

Sad to say pine needles do clog the gutter brush and clog the water flow. the brushes must be taken out and shaken. Acorns and leaves to not penetrate the brushes.

That is the downside to this litter. I usually don't put much in and just scoop the poo with a regular scoop. You just have to change more frequently. They do have a pine litter that's not pressed into pellets. It works just as well for the smell and you can scoop it. The downside to that litter is it gets tracked all over the house. I put a mat down outside the litter box and that helped but there were still pine pieces all over my bathroom floor.

I find it best to strip off leaves-the residue when left on tends to accumulate in the cutting chamber and cause overheating. At the very least I wind up having to open it up to clean out the debris. A few leaves seem to make no difference to speak of-only when there are a fair number of them-likewise pine needles seem to be no problem,

I lived near a construction site for a year and ended up with dust everywhere on my tile floor. It picked that up beautifully, even off the grout. Should pick up cat litter no problem.

I use it in my hobby room and it picks up my beads along with thread and of course lint. So I think it would pick up your kitty litter very good.

I have a cat and it does just fine picking up litter. I use the rotary head to do it as the suction takes too long to suck it all up. The rotating brushes seem to give it some help.

I think it could mulch them without much problem, but I question how efficiently it would suck them up. With dry, raked leaves it has no problem, but if the needles are matted thick in the ground, it may not work to your expectations.

Don't have pine needles right now but it does great with magnolia tree leaves and bulbs. Have a grass catcher on my mower so very little grass to sweep. Will definitely use it for the live oak worms (as I call them). Pine needles will come back next month but know it will take care of those as we live in the Piney Wood Forrest.

Technically, you are correct because pine and all conifer trees are softwoods. But it is not a very abrasive cleaner, and you should be fine. Especially if you a solid polyurethane or lacquer layer.

I have not tried it on pine needles, but i have sucked up alot of twigs I thought would not go through. If you get to many at one time they will get bunched up in the start of the shute and you will have to pop it on the ground some to clear it.

Thank you for replying. I have a flowerbed filled in with river rock that I have been having difficulty removing pine needles from. I don't want to get every last one but it looks shabby the way it it.
