Does human hair build up on roller? I have long hair and it totally clogged up my Dirt Devil upright.

I too have long hair. When hair or string gets wrapped around the brush, I turn the vacuum over and run a box cutter along the bristles to cut through it. Then I turn the vacuum on and the hair or string is able to come off and be sucked into the vacuum. I repeat this as necessary.

I bought this as a gift for a family member. However, I have used Hoover vacuums for years, and never had a problem with build up on the roller. The family I bought the vacuum for have two girls with long hair, and I hasn't been a problem for them.

I think that h.appens with all rollers including my wind tunnel. I just use a seam ripper to cut it and pull it out

Hi Lana....good question! I have owned a Hoover Wind Tunnel for about 20 or 25 years now and have never had that problem. I know it does pick up pet hair very nicely. I used to have 6 cats and 2 dogs and my housecleaner used my Hoover and never complained about pet hairs not being picked up. Since getting my new Hoover Wind Tunnel I only have one dog who does not shed and my hair is short. So I don't really have an answer for your question. But it would really surprise me if you did have any problems at all with this vacuum.

I have long hair as well, it is almost waist length and I don't have any problems with this. I can easily pop the brushed in and out and clean them. I use a pair of scissors to cut stings, hair, etc loose and pull them out.

Well not necessarily. You just need to make sure that the roller inside is rotating with the grain of the hair and not against it.

Esthela, maybe t there's something stuck inside, or wound around the roller or brush? Otherwise, I have no idea. Good luck!

Long hair gets wrapped around the bar just like it does with any vacuum cleaner. The trick is always to remove it frequently before it causes a problem. I have had to cut it loose.

to me, the dirt devil picks up very well...cat hair on tile and wooden floors...but do not like it because the charge does not last long....maybe 3 rooms and with no warning it cuts out.

Not do much.. The motorized roller wear out easy and also if you have a larger person and it male, and weight is applied it could break the roller part! Not a good experience with this product... And I work in the beauty field...returned

Doesn't clog, but the rotating brush recently stopped rotating for me,and I've only had it for 2 months. (This was after I cleaned all the hair off, as well.) Without the brush rolling, it misses a lot of stuff.

no,just a warning,i have very fine thin long hair,this product did not keep the curl in, did not get hot enough,returned product and bought HT 1305 hot rollers with ribs,came with only 5 rollers,you can always order more rollers,this product worked great to keep curls in all day,was very satisfied!

I haven't noticed that happening when I roll my hair. I have wavy shoulder length hair & when I use the roller, I do it at an angle like for spiral curls, so maybe that could make a difference:-) if your hair is longer than shoulder length, maybe you could start the wrapping of your hair on the roller in the center of your strand of hair, & then wind the rest of your hair around the roller & then wrap the roller in towards your scalp. I hope this helps:-)

Honestly, I'm 'not' enjoying my carusso rollers. W/ long hair & thick hair, perhaps it's asking too much. I did quite a bit of research and this was the best I came up with. but still frustrating!! Maybe it's just me...lol..

I have always had 3 gals with long hair in my house hold...Learned real fast about cleaning vaccum roller brushes...Acquire a pair of very small fisscar sissors or the equilivent with a very sharp point...Slide the point along the roller brushes and cut the hair into small pieces and then use a long stiff brissel hair brush to remove the hair pieces...I have tried many other methods and this works best for me...We love the vaccum

I just read the previous comments and decided to elaborate on my response. Keep in mind this is a "duster" so I used it after sweeping to get the smaller stuff that sweeping leaves behind but bare feet find immediately. I also used it in between sweeping to pick up dirt hair and what not. It will not pick up big stuff, and the product description states that. I loved it because I could finally walk bare footed through my house without having stuff stuck to them! If the duster starts spinning in one place you need to open up the wheel housing to remove whatever is binding the axle. In my case, my long hair was wrapped around it. I was able to Google the instructions and it is an easy fix.

No. I have a Sheltie (she has a double coat) and I have long thick hair that sheds too, which usually clogs brush rollers and wears down all of my machines. More than 6 months later of vacuuming at least 1x a week, and the roller is relatively clear of any hair, fuzz, etc.

With your hair, I would say there are not enough to do your whole head at once. To get a decent curl you can only put on the roller a small amount of hair. With thick long hair it is hard to get a curl to hold for too long.

I have waist long hair, and the same thing was happening to me. Try putting the roller closer to your scalp and rolling the rest onto the roller from there, instead of the conventional "start at the end and roll your way up" method. Good luck!

Probably sucked up something in the roller. When this happens to mine I stop it and restart, usually all is well. Hope this helps
