My mother is disabled & is having trouble using her old vacuum - she has 3 cats and persian rugs + hardwoods - would this work as her sole vacuum?

Probably not. You have to empty the rubbish canister way too frequently and the filter is gross to deal with. When you the filter gets clogged up with pet hair and debris the machine stars to push rubbish out of the machine instead of sucking it in. Before it gets clogged up it works fantastic, just a word of caution I only have one dog that a small Chi-Corgi mix. Your Mother's cats would produce decidedly more hair than one dog. Hope this helps.

The Vacuum part works great... I just do not like the suction from the pet attachment

It will work great just keep the vacuum on the highest setting. If you don't think it's getting all the dirt go to the medium setting. I would not try to go on a low setting. Remember that new carpets shed so don't be alarmed if you see some in the container. Hope that helps and congrats on the new carpet!

Yes, it should work just fine with vacuum bags. I have to hold down my small rugs when vacuuming cuz the vac sucks up the whole rug. Good suction.

I found this vacuum to be a little hard to handle, the hose keeps getting on my way, it heavy plus it's not very good using it on carpet, I ended up buying a tool for hardwood floors and that its it's in use, hope it helps!

Probably not. It's good for quick cleanup of spills on linoleum and light daily cleaning on low pile carpet, but I wouldn't want to use this as my sole vacuum.

Yes, but it's not perfect when you go on and off a rug. I use it for both bare floor and rugs on Cape Cod where there is a lot of sand and dust. (I also have two dogs and a cat, and so far ir has held up well.

You have a central vacuum system, as your number indicates, therefore I doubt it will work. However my research was limited.

Yes. I had to buy it for that carpet because my Dyson wouldn't work. It has adjustable heights so it works great. I really like it.

Yes, I have a mixture of tile, carpet and hardwood floors - vacccum does a great job on all surfaces. Just remember to us lower suction on hardwood and tile.

I think any vacuum cleaner will work just fine. Mine is a dry vac, and it does great! I really like this system. Being on chemo/radiation, I don't have the muscle power to use the big ones, this one is so easy, and does not require doing the whole floor at one time.

If you vacuum a small amount of hair only on the hardwood, I would hope the function would be adequate, but I've found mine is marginal and inconsistent. There really isn't an attachment to help with furniture. It's sad to have such a clear failure from Dyson. I was previously a huge fan.

We're in the same position. Hardwood floors with two Newfoundlands. All of the pet hair vacuum's I've seen see to be upright while all hardwood floor vacuum recommendations are canister. Does anyone marry the two into one?

I can't say for sure but I would make sure you empty the canister and clean the filter.This vac works best on bare floors,That's how I use mine.

I believe it specifies a "Hoover" carpet cleaning solution but any carpet cleaning solution would work, even a DIY one (you can google it)

I don't have tall carpet, I have short Berber and tile floors, so I can't tell you. Sorry. My Hoover Zen stopped working since I wrote before after less than two years, and I have replaced it with a different brand and I am much happier.

I own a Dyson DC23 and it works extremely well on my carpets. As for tiles and hardwood floors, it doesn't clean them as well as it does on my carpets. I end up using a "Swiffer" Sweeper 2-in-1 mop and broom for the hardwood, and Tersano cloth pads (which fit the Swiffer) for the tiles in my kitchen. This Dyson is decent enough for stairs as it can sit "tilted" between the stairs--you just need to be able to lift it up by the handle one stair at a time.
