Does the 780 pick up cat litter?

I cannot answer that; I don't have a cat. It does pick up small bits of mud, dog food, and sidewalk salt.

I don't have a cat, but I can't imagine it wouldn't. It picks up dirt, Cheerios, and any other random debris.

Our daughter has 10 cats and, yes, it picks up litter. She runs it twice a day.

I find it odd that all the responses to this question were made on the 16th day of one month or another.

I do have a cat, but I don't have a RoombaMy cat does operate at 60 Hz though

Well I don't have a cat but the Roomba is a vacuum not a shampooer although they do make a model that shampoos. I would have to say that it would most likely pick up the solids but would not handle any liquid stains.

Well, I don't deal with sand but it does pick up scattered cat litter! Also, after throwing away one too many vacuums,I am meticulous about cleaning it after every use-all filters and the brushes underneath included.

YES! My cat gets litter EVERYWHERE around the cat box and I just bust this thing out once or twice a day to clean it up.

Yes! I have 3 cats and they kick litter up like crazy, this pulls it right out of the carpet.

Hi Bethany, unfortunately for my case, this thing never worked. No vacuum at all. Even if it did, I think it will be too tiny to work for a cat litter.

I have four cats (including two with long hair) but I have never seen it pick up much cat hair. I find some cat hair on the pre-filter, but not a lot. It does a lot better with dust.

I don't have any pets; The swivel sweeper picks up lint and dust from my cheap carpet. If the cat hair is short, I suppose this machine wouldn't have any problems picking them up.

It is useless. I have 2 cats and all this thing does with rugs/carpet is push the hair around - very poor with pick up. I cannot recommend you purchase this machine.

I'm not sure. I have picked up all kinds of litter without any problems. This is my second B/D machine. We moved and I left the old machine because I thought we would be in a condo. I hope this helps. Terry

Yes, it absolutely does,and perfectly. I'm used to other vacuums and sweepers picking up litter and immediately blowing it everywhere: all over my legs and the floors I just tried to clean. This machine cleaned every bit of fine litter from smooth wood floors and very uneven, thick, grouted mexican tile. It's amazing. Period.

Yes, it definitely picks up cat hair. We have two cats that shed year-round, a long-hair and a short-hair. The long hair winds up on the brushes so you have to manually pop the brushes out by flexing the plastic housing slightly near the wheel axles and then pick away the hair. Clean out the housing while you're at it. A brushless vac with a bag or dust container makes the job easier.

The suction power of this unit is remarkable and should have no trouble lifting cat litter. Just empty the cup as soon as it's full or the heating overload thermo-switch will shut off the vacuum till it cools down.

Picks it up decently well - Turn it to the bare floor setting so that the brush isn't running, and it'll pick up most of it. I usually go over the bathroom with a broom and mop as well afterwards though, I like things sparkling clean! In the carpet it picks all the litter up.

I can't speak for the Eureka model, but I know that my wife is totally happy with this B&D model. She uses it to clean up our hardwood floors in-between a "full-on" vacuuming with the large vacuum. It works great for picking up cat litter!

Sorry, but no. It was a little difficult to scoop. We only used this while our kitty recovered from being spayed and could not use the other type of litter.

Cat hair generally isn't what I try to pick up with this sweeper, but we do have a cat and the sweeper does pick up at least some of the cat hair. There's always plenty of it in the dust bins when I empty the bins. This sweeper is certainly no substitute for a electric vacuum with a powered rotor brush, but nor should it be expected to be.
