How is this on thicker carpet with cats? Need to be sure it can get the hair, food, and litter out of thicker carpets.

The Shark Navigator Professional will not work properly on thicker or high nap carpets. As a matter of fact non of Sharks vacuums work on thicker or high nap carpets. Tile and rugs like Berber the shark does and excellent job. I believe the instructions that cone with the Shark also state that it doesn't work well on thicker or high nap carpets.

So far for me, it has worked nicely. Sometimes, on a carpet surface, I will use the little brush attachment and it will pick up the hair that really sticks to the rug surface, but most of the time, the regular attachment works. We just have a super fuzzy cat..

We have basically low carpeting and it works fantastic. The room ba goes from the hardwood floor up onto the carpet and back. We cant speak to thick high pile carpeting! But we are thrilled with the Roomba performance ce!!

I have 3 short haired cats and I find it works fine in removing hair from carpets, just adjust the setting on the carpet attachment. If you have berber style rugs will be tougher, due to loop style of rug, but on regular rugs works fine. For the cat hair on furniture use the furniture attachment, which does not have a beater roll in the attachment, just a brush so it takes longer.

I haven't had a problem with that with my cat. The liners are pretty thick. We use a deep litter box and a lot of litter.

I have a cat and she has a lot of hair. You find her hair on the furniture, the beds, the floor...all over the house. This has worked great for picking up her hair. The only thing is that the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser´s charge doesn´t last long. You have to charge it every 15 minutes. I am very happy with it.

Depends on the carpet. Mine works great for couches, might be ok for carpet that is a low pile, not too thick. Clothes, delicate fabric, fleece and wool not so effective. My cat is medium hair.

I've used it on our carpet and area rugs, I think it works best at breaking up superficial dirt before vacuuming however, I don't feel it pulls up the cat hair (or my hair) that well. I think it works best to pull.

I (a long-hair human) have a a very furry cat, a long-hair chihuahua, and a long-hair human child. I am very pleased with how well it did getting all the hair out of the carpet. I was sure to clean out the brush when I was done, though.

Not very well. It will work so so on low pile carpets but won't go at all on thicker stuff.

We do not have a cat so don't know if it will pick up cat hair. We did have a Lab with a heavy coat and it did a good job as long as you vacumn before you use the rug shampoo.We do not have a cat so cannot answer the part of the question re cat hair. We did have a Black Lab with a heavy undercoat and the cleaner did a good job as long as you vacumn before you use this machine. We were actually pleasantly surprised as to how well it cleaned our rug which is a light colored Berber.

Works like a champ for me, but I have low-pile carpet and wooden floors. Cat hair, cat litter, normal dust and dirt come right up. I'm happy with this vacuum.

I have a 15 lb cat and a 13 lb cat that have used this product and it has held up pretty well. They have both used the house and each fits without problem. They are also on the tree at the same time and no problem. To clean, we simply use a vacuum cleaner to lift the hair and dirt particles.

Our carpet isn't that thick but when we turn on the witch at the top of the handle to clean the carpet the carpet is so clean. You can see all the gathered dust later. But if have carpet throughout your whole entire house I don't suggest this vacuum. The switch that you turn on for carpet makes the vacuum heat up if u leave it on too long. We have carpet and hard floor so we only use the switch when we have to vacuum carpet. When I used this in the beginning the machine would over heat and shut off. So then I didn't use it for hard floor (but don't need to). Anyway, I've had this vacuum for about a year and half and it works way better than the dyson that my friends have.

We have cats and have never had problems with cat hair getting inside. Then again, they've never been on top of the toilet tank rubbing against the canister, either. I can't make any promises, but the inside has stayed pretty clean. If you still need something "fully enclosed," this is not the product for you.

The Everholder FURemover Broom may be the solution. I have several dogs and cats and deal with lots of hair and litter. I use this broom every day and it works better than any other broom I've ever tried. It's sturdy and hair and litter doesn't fly around when you're sweeping. Definitely worth a try.
