Does this work well on cat fur/hair on carpet? Thank you!

Yes, it definitely picks up cat hair. We have two cats that shed year-round, a long-hair and a short-hair. The long hair winds up on the brushes so you have to manually pop the brushes out by flexing the plastic housing slightly near the wheel axles and then pick away the hair. Clean out the housing while you're at it. A brushless vac with a bag or dust container makes the job easier.

I know that it works well on carpet, but do not know about cat fur/hair. I would THINK that it would work on the cat fur/hair, but would imagine that like any brush, it would be some work to remove the picked up fur and hair from the brushes.

Hi Mae, We don't allow pets in our facility so I can't answer your question. I will tell you that it does pick up children's hair and thread well.

Not sure. WE have a dog with really short hair and it does pick it up pretty good. I like it because with the children it gets crumbs and small pieces of paper ect up really good. Hope that helps.

It does pick up hair but not having a cat, I can't say..It picks up quite a bit but does not do the deep cleaning as with a vacuum.. It is good to have though..

We have 3 long haired cats and as of about a month or so ago... this vacuum. We love it!!! Picks up cat hair with no problem - both with the upright mode and with the hand held attachment. Just watch the levels on the canisters and empty them often... it fills up quickly... but that just shows me how well this thing works!

I have found that this does not work well on carpet or rugs. It works well on hardwood, tile and vinyl. So if the areas you are vacuuming are not carpeted, it will work well.

Cat hair generally isn't what I try to pick up with this sweeper, but we do have a cat and the sweeper does pick up at least some of the cat hair. There's always plenty of it in the dust bins when I empty the bins. This sweeper is certainly no substitute for a electric vacuum with a powered rotor brush, but nor should it be expected to be.

It really doesn't. I have pile carpet. Tried to get cat hair. Had to really use a lot of muscle and it got only a little. Finally gave it to Goodwill. Vacuum worked better. Would work ok on tile or wood floor. Lot of effort for subpar return.

I have found it to be very good at removing long hair from the dog so will no doubt work for the cats as well. It takes a bit of work but is worth the effort and is the most successful item I have yet found for pet hair removal. I have used it on carpet, furniture and blankets..

We have cats (and dogs), but we have the big Dyson (the one specifically for pets) to pick up the cat hair from the carpet. The hand held does great on picking up the fur that gathers in corners on the hardwood floor, and on the couch, but the couch is leather, so it vacuums right up. Not sure how it would do on a cloth-type of fabric, though.

Yes, it does work on carpet, In fact, that's where I've used it. It works great on carpet.

Yes, I used it on our carpet to clean up a kitty mishap. Worked like a charm and did not damage the carpet

I have a cat and this broom does great sweeping up the fur -- really excellent. For cat litter it's not as good...with my floors the litter gets stuck in the cracks so if the wood is smooth then it would probably be okay. Hope this helps!

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.

I would be very careful, maybe try it in a hidden spot first. I think it would depend on the fabric on the upholstery. On the carpet use a broom that's designed to remove pet hair, it has rubbery bristles, then I use the carpet rake to get down in the fibers and pull up the hair the broom didn't get, then I vacuum. Depending on the weave this could pull fibers on upholstery and there are many other pet hair devices that would be better to use on furniture.

I use it to get cat hair off wool rugs and it works very well. My daughter got me a smaller version for clothes and it too works very well. I highly recommend it.

I don't have any pets; The swivel sweeper picks up lint and dust from my cheap carpet. If the cat hair is short, I suppose this machine wouldn't have any problems picking them up.

Yes, it does catch pet hair. We have three (yes, 3) cats. I'd suggest you get an extra quantity of the washable "Cut-to-Fit Carbon Pad for Air Purifiers". You'll need to change them out fairly often with a shedding pet in the house.

The Hoover does pick up cat hair (very well indeed from my carpets and bare floors). Does pick up the little kibble cat food (dry) from my kitchen floor. Haven't tried it on cat litter but assume it would do the job. Great little vacumn.

I have a long haired cat (Persian) and it works great! Takes out the toughest knots! My only complaint would be the fur ejector. It fills too quickly with fur and I have to keep ejecting it.
