Will this vacuum be good for picking up dry cat litter? I just want to use it for a little litter that gets scattered.

Yes. My cat's name is Elvira and she will testify under oath that this screaming, possibly cat-eating machine is effective in both picking up dry kitty litter and for chasing her to hide under the bed.

Yes, I believe so. It is very powerful. However, you need to make sure the materials are all dried up completely. You can also change the filter more frequently (maybe once in two or three months) to make sure bacteria would not colonize inside.

That's exactly what I use it for, and it does a great job. Just beware of the on/off button. It's VERY difficult to push backward to turn off. But the vacuum does such a great job, it's worth that aggravation.

Yes, I think it would perform that task quite admirably. It's a powerful little machine, it picks up stuff a few inches away from the "intake" or whatever you call the opening.

Well, I don't deal with sand but it does pick up scattered cat litter! Also, after throwing away one too many vacuums,I am meticulous about cleaning it after every use-all filters and the brushes underneath included.

It would probably be good for that but keep in mind that the collection "basket" that holds the waste is not very big because the vacuum itself isnt big so if its a lot of litter, you may need to clean it out often.

I had this vacuum for 15 years and it was great for kitty litter. Lots of suction, better than my Sears canister. It is excellent on hardwood, concrete, vinyl, and on carpet it will pick up surface debris. I am on this site ordering another one!

The sweeper is great for sweeping dry food. I find the bristles to be soft and not as firm as I thought they'd be. It's a great product, however, I wouldn't recommend purchasing this item for picking up wet food.

Not sure if the suction is strong enough to pull cat litter out of a deeper pile carpet. If it is a low pile berber type carpet I would think it would work okay.

yes it does pick up dust pretty good but they sell others that has a brush like a vacuum cleaner besides the two round ones in the front that I assume will pick up really good so if you do some more research you'll see those I wish I could have bought one of those instead I really think that would have been a better buy

It picks up my cat litter with no issues at all... I really like the vacuum...would buy it again.

It will pick up hairs and dust from carpet while you are shampooing it. It is best to vacuum the carpet first. I don't see how you can use this as a dry vac.

It is good for picking up dust on hardwood. If you have a spill of dry goods or otherwise, the suction is not sufficient to get the job done. It is good for dusting and light cleaning.

I bought this in part to deal with cat litter. It does pick up litter if it is scattered in the middle of the floor, but you can't really use it to get around the edges of the box, where most of the litter seems to collect in my house. I tried it on clumping corn and clay.

That is a great question. This unit is perfect for picking up dry crumbs and debris however when it comes to wet food like bananas, avocados, etc. this may not be the best option as it could stick and become difficult to clean the sweeper after use.

Hi! It's fantastic for us with a cat and little pebbles from kitty litter - UNTIL the filter gets full, then it kicks them back out. I think it's hands down the best vacuum I've ever owned.

It works great on carpets and hard floors, I use it for quick pick-ups around the litter box all the time, the suction is really good and easy to clean out too.

I don't have a cat, but it has picked up a few pebbles that the dogs have tracked in. I'm sure it would do fine for small amounts of kittly litter. I don't know how it would do for larger amounts. Either way, I'd empty the dust cup more frequently.

This cleaner is very powerful for a lightweight unit. I feel it did an excellent job of removing dirt from deep down in my carpet. I don't have pets but feel it would pick up whatever is in the carpet. Good luck!
