How does this work on blankets/bedding? I want primarily to pick up dog hair off bedding, as I've been using lint roller. Will it "eat" the blankets?

It has a lot of suction- works well on rugs- it might eat the blankets unless you hold it down

Truthfully I have only used it on my car's carpet and seats. It goes a great job and picks up my pug's hair.

I would say don't try to use it for that. I buy tons of paper towels from Costco for that. I clean up the chunks, lay down a fresh bunch and step on it to get the really yucky stuff, then use my Spotbot. The manual actually says to pick up any residue 1st. I think it might clog if you try to pick up chunks. But if you don't mind the paper towel thing, this is a fabulous machine.

Hi Vincent:The vacuum self adjusts between rug and hardwood. As far as it being able to pick up dog fur it should. You might want to contact the Dyson Co. and ask them. I am on my second Dyson. My last one lasted over 10 years. It is a great product. I have had other brands in the past. This has lasted the longest and out performed the others.

I have had this cleaner for about a week. I have vacuumed and vacuumed prior to use and yes, I still get tons of pulled up hair into the machine. I have taken the covers off the base machine by removing the 5 screws and had to rinse and use a shop-vac to pull out any extra hair, put back together and then start using again. However, even with this hassle, the machine, both the upright and the detachable unit, have cleaned VERY well. I also have let the base unit dry well underneath and then shop vacuumed out any remaining hair. That helped with better functioning. I guess it may be the price we animal lovers pay for all the tiny hairs that a vacuum can't pull up but the shampooer does! Over all, the units have cleaned better than other brands we have had previously. Hope any of this response helps you!

My machine picks up hair easily, but it can clog the "throat" of the head where the vacuumed material goes up into the cannister. It's easy to take the head off and run a bent coathanger through the hole to push out the blockage. YMMV, because I have long hair and dogs with heavy coats. You might not get a blockage at all.

Works great picking up dog hair off the bare floor and carpet. However, the attachments aren't as effective on my couch (our dog lays on the floor, up against the couch).

No Gary this is not good for that I use it on hard wood floors to pick up dog hair. it is too soft to do what you are looking for, hope this helps Laura

I think what actually removes the pet hair is the dryer itself, not the sheets. If you look at all the stuff you clean off your lint filter, you can see the hair in there too. So the wool balls will do just as good a job as the dryer sheets did, meaning your dryer itself will continue to draw the lint and hair into the lint catcher. I think you'll be pleased! (I have a cat, not a dog, but they get the job done just fine.)

I'm sorry but I haven't tried inflating it. Has the Dryer Maid worked for you? It doesn't seem to remove pet hair or lint caused by loose fleece for me.

I would say it works best on a flat-woven carpet, not a shag-type. It's basically a rolling brush, so it picks up things sitting on top of the carpet. If your carpet is loose enough for hay to sink into it, it's not going to work.

Not sure if it would work for dog hair in a shag- I had that same issue & finally just got rid of the rug. I bought the broom to use in a hair salon & it works great for that. Someone had recommended a shop vac for the rug.

I think it would be fine. I have blankets so not really touching it so haven't washed it yet. It doesn't seem to cling on to dust as my other down comforter would while just changing it, etc. Basically what I mean is a lint roll could take off anything as its smooth (if you mean cat hair). As far as washing I think it would be fine, it not super thick or so large that it couldn't adequately be washed easily. It says on the tag machine washing instructions.

It does not get 100% of lint, but a lot of it gets caught. Pet hair should be caught as well. Especially if it is long hair and if there is already some lint in the snare.

It works well. There is a sweeper brush and it picks up pet hair by rolling. The hair gets swept into the vac. I use mine on laminate floors and see no problem. I really like as it is not heavy and does a great job. It does not scrape the floor. So I would say it will not hurt the floors

I'm sorry Thomas, I can't specifically say, but it did not pick up lint, or hair, in fact the suction was so poor it didn't pick up anything! I had better luck purchasing a Black and Decker wall charged unit with a great extender crevasse tool that got into hard to reach places and when I was done, brought it back into the house and charged it! Hope this helps.

It picks up hair but it ALL remains on the brush. After using the vacuum the first time I was dismayed to see how much hair entangled the roller. When I opened the dust cup to see how much was in there, I was amazed. There was NONE. Literally, not a single hair. I would stay away if your goal is to clean up after a pet that sheds.

Honestly, no. This is one of the worse lint rollers out there. Our cat has medium hair that is really easy to pick up and I find myself using 4-5 sheets at a time. I would go with another brand. Best of luck!
