We have a lab mix that sheds and this does the trick. I did purchase the attachment too and that does a great job on furniture.

Well we don't have 5 goldens just 4 small dogs but it does a great job on their hair. It was well worth the price.

I have only one Golden but it does a fairly good job. The carpet beater tool does better than the hard floor attachment. I find that with the hard floor attachment I have to remove the hair that sticks to the brush head and pick it off before it sucks in. Overall I like the vacuum. Richard Mass.

First, congratulations on having such beautiful dogs! Second, I can only attest to my one collie. I use the "beater" head on all my carpets, and to date, I have been able to pick the hair up without any problem. As you know, during certain times of the seasons, the hair is more abundant than others. It's worked for me without any issues. I do, however, take an Exacto knife to the underside of the beater brush to cut the hair that is wrapped around the beater brush/bar. I do this frequently so it has never had any problems picking up the hair. Hope that helps!

We have 1 German Shepard who sheds practically year-round. We are very pleased with the Jetmaxx. The beater bar snaps in and out for cleaning and the bags are easy to change. We also like the adjustable suction levels -- Minimum for throw rugs for example and Maximum for dog hair on carpets, etc. Well worth the price!

I have 2 large dogs so I have a lot of dog hair in my carpets. The Dyson does a good job of vacuuming the dog hairs. It also does a good job of removing dog fur from furniture fabric.

Yes it does they are an awesome vacuum. It picks up lng hair also. Our dogs short hair, but we have family have big dogs long hair and they used there vacuum and then used the Dyson and picked up we couldn't believe how much more it pulled out of the carpet.

I bought this sweeper specifically because the pet model from Bissell was not available, and the heavy duty was backordered. We have four cats, two dogs, and sometimes have two other dogs visit for "sleepovers." This sweeper picks up pet hair quite well. Might I also add that I use the little spin-sweeper handle for our carpeted stairs, and it grabs hair well. The only issue I have ever had fighting hair has been in our car, and that is because we did not sweep out our car for a long time; this resulted in the hair's burrowing itself deep into the carpet. (Bulldog hairs have barbs on them that face the opposite direction, and they are hard to remove from car carpeting.)

I have the same problem. I have Golden Retrievers. I just keep checking it and cleaning it about every time I sweep and that's often. For as expensive as this sweep was, it should have no problems at all!

I shed A TON of hair...I am very similar to a dog! I was surprised with how well this lightweight vacuum was able to pick up my hair. So yes, it does definitely pick up hair from carpets.

I have a friend that says it does great! He uses it in his motor home and it picks up long white dog hair really well. My dog is short haired, but he also sheds, and I think that it works pretty well for us, too.

It does a very good job picking up pet hair on floors and rugs in upright mode. The power hand tool does a good job on upholstery, but it takes some practice and more than one pass with my cat's hair. Make sure to clean the dirt cup and the cyclonic filter regularly though.

It picks up dog hair great! It maneuvers so well. I have a rug on top of medium shag carpet and it goes well from one to the other I also have tile and I just turn off the brush and vacuum the tile. I have a bad back and this vacuum is lightweight too!

It's ok. I have two dogs, one is a golden retriever who sheds constantly. The broom is nice under the couch and near baseboards. It works ok in the mid floor, but I find a duster broom to work best there. I recommend it because it does work and pick up hair and some dirt. It is not the answer to all floor issues. (But I still haven't found that, so?)

We have a Golden as well as three cats. We use the tool on hard floors. The tool picks up the hair quite well, but some hair does attach to the felt strips on the bottom of the tool.

It does a pretty good job on pet hair. We have 3 cats and a dog inside. The dog's hair tends to be coarse and the vac doesn't pick it up quite as well as I'd like, but then neither does my expensive Oreck. The Hoover does do a good job on the dust-bunny type little poofs of cat hair (but performs very poorly on cat litter). That said, l still give this vac an overall very good rating.

It does a great job with dog hair. we don't have any long hair people-wise and it was the dog hair I bought it for. I love it.

Sorry, I have no pets so I don't have an answer. It picks up my hair but I imagine dog hair is much thicker. The brush is a regular one with two straight rows; they're fairly stiff and help to lift hair from carpeting.

This is actually pretty good at picking up my dalmatian's hair. I'm not sure what kind of dog you have, but for some reason, Dalmations have hair that have a barb on them. Makes it impossible to pick up, but this does a pretty good job picking up her hair.

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 have two very small area rugs, and it picks up cat hair from them very well. It's a very low pile (I think that's the term), and I suspect that would be key. It also picks up hair from my upholstered chairs like a champ.
