Pet hair Bissell 2070 Quicksteamer Powerbrush Lightweight Deep CleanerWe have a large dog who sheds a lot. Will this steamer work for that or will it just move the fur around?

It won't vaccuum or replace a vacuum.You need to vac first, then steam mop. It sanitizes and polishes the floor to an amazing clean, but it does not suck up pet hair.

I have a Golden Retriever who sheds a lot. I only use the Eureka Suction Seal cleaner on a very small carpeted area as the rest of my house has ceramic tile. The canister fills up very quickly and the brushes of the machine quickly fill up with hair and must be cleaned out or you'll risk burning it up. I was not at all pleased with this machine and cannot recommend it.

Thank you! I have since repaired my old Dyson DC21 canister. I tried the new Dyson canister and it only has an air driven (not electric powered)rug brush. Useless for pet hair. I also tried the DC 65 upright. Nothing worked as well as the original. Although Dyson assured me air driven was more powerful, it was a joke.

We had another Bissell and it did the job. We have two dogs, one short hair but sheds and the other long hair with shedding. We also have outdoor carpet on the deck and this sweeper works very well keeping everything very tidy and clean. We also use it on the linoleum in the kitchen and it does a great job.

Don't have a pet, but I probably wouldn't recommend it if you have a lot of pet hair. It's suction power is not nearly that of a full size vac.

It works well for combing out their coats and light deshedding but we also got the furminator deshedder for serious springtime deshedding. We have a black lab mix that has a thick coat and is approx 55 lbs and the size of the rake is fine.

I have two dogs, one a big shedder and the other not. It does a GREAT job picking up my Dogs shedding fur. The only thing is it shd be cleaned after each use, which takes a minute. Its very user friendly.

I have 2 ever shedding dogs in my home. YES! This vac works GREAT not only on my carpets, but my tile and furniture as well. Best vac I ever owned! I have had it for 3 months now and I use it for everything! You would never believe the power this vac has until u try it.

I also have three dogs and was given a Roomba for Christmas. You WILL still have to use your regular old vaccuum even though you have a Roomba. It will probably be great on your hardwood floors--likely a big help. However, on the carpet, it will probably just do 'maintenance-quality', picking up quite a bit of hair, but still not replacing a good manual vaccumming. (But hey, every little bit helps when have multiple pets). I run mine every day, and I appreciate its ability to perform damage-control every day with the "kids'" daily shedding, supplemented by my own once or twice a week regular vaccuuming. I empty the bin every time it completes a cycle. It only takes two seconds. If you try to run it will a full bin, it won't be able to pick up anything very well, just like a regular vaccuum. One more very important thing-- since you have pets, you'll have to be extra dilligent about cleaning the brush and the rubber thing next to brush. The brush is relatively easy to clean with the cleaning tool, but the rubber thing next to the brush can get hair wrapped around these tricky grooves next to its wheels--its kind of time consuming, but if you don't keep those things clean than its bad for the Roomba. Oh, and for other pet people out there, I was at Roomba's website the other day and they have now came out with a Roomba for homes with pets, so you may want to look into that if you are considering buying a Roomba. The Roomba Sage for Pets is like 219.00, and the Roomba Discovery for Pets is around 300.00. The brushes are supposed to be easier to clean than the standard Roomba.

It works great on hardwood floors, but doesn't have the power for carpet, I am still trying to find a vac that picks up pet hair and dirt from carpet that doesn't weigh a ton!! Have a bad back, if you find one please let me know!!

Well I don't need to vacuum that often now but you could certainly use the dry mop that comes with this product. It's great for dusting. But I wouldn't use the wet mop on a floor covered with pets' hair. I love this mop though. It really makes it easier!!

For us this one worked pretty good for pet hair. We have a black terrier who leaves a lot of hair on our beige carpet. We can definitely notice a big difference going over it with our DC23

I have laminate flooring, and it works fine on that. I do like this vacuum but it does have an issue with emptying the canister if you have long-haired pets. I have a Samoyed that sheds long, white hair. The vacuum picks up the hair beautifully, but more often than not I have to pull the hair out of the canister when emptying it. This would not prevent me from buying it again, just thought I'd mention it.

As a professional pet groomer for the last 10 years I would advise to look at your pet, does it have more hair over or under 2" long? If the majority of hair is shaggier then get the longer one. If the majority of hair is shorter than get the shorter haired version. But the basis of a good deshedding is the bath and blow out, I cannot tell you the difference my customers notice in the way we can hydro-massage quality soap-free shampoos into the coat, condition the hair, and most of the loose hair slides out in the bath. Then you use a nice big professional HV (high velocity) dryer like our K-9 II to blow the hair out straight and fluffy, then use this tool. It glides right through. Look into finding a self-serve pet wash nearby to utilize their professional set-up and make sure your pet is clean enough to Furminate. Hope this helps someone, ~Serena

I had 3 dogs for years ( now 2 ) and this machine does a fantastic job of getting the pet hair up. My Daughters all have long hair and their hair is actually the most difficult getting trapped in the beater roller! When this happens we have to use scissors to clip the hair off. Our dogs are a Peekapo and a Bichon poodle mix and the dog we lost was a Mini Labrador. The Lab's hair used to clump twice a year when her coat would change and we had to vacuum constantly, but the Bissell does the job very well. The dogs hair never seemed to get into the rollers like our kids hair. So it goes.. Hope this was helpful.

I only have a short haired dog and it de-sheds a lot of her hair... have to do it a couple times a week, not FurMaster's fault... just the dog.
