Is this vacuum overkill if I don't have any pets?

It is an outstanding unit and you will not be disappointed. however, it probably is over-kill. i recall there is a less expensive unit that i bet is more than adequate...I recall it was basically the same unit but maybe without certain attachments?

I don't think so. It is an AWESOME machine! Expensive but worth it. It's super quiet, cleans really well, is very well thought out & designed, easy to use and Cleans the air while you use it! My wife & I were just singing it's praises 2 days ago.

perhaps so. It is the best vacuum cleaner we have ever had and it does a fantastic job of removing pet hair etc. We love it because of it's ability to get under beds, sofas and cabinets. It is also wonderful for cleaning stuffed furniture and draperies. True, you can get a vacuum of lesser capabilities than this one, but in the end, you get what you pay for.

Not really. It's more of a dustbuster with a long stick option. It won't dig deep into pile to pull up pet hair and dirt. For that you need a "real" vacuum cleaner. The advantage of the ergo is quick & small jobs or a quick once-over of the home. Great for dustbunnies, cheerios, tufts of pet hair and human hair. Not a go-to for a thorough carpet cleaning.

I have 2 cats and a dog but most of what is picked up is dirt and carpet fibers. I don't think you'd have any problems, it's a really good vacuum in my opinion.

I am in an apartment with what I consider "lite" shag carpeting...I have two longhaired dachshunds and this amazing little vacuum has plenty of suction to do the job. As for thicker carpet...I just don't know. It is powerful for a battery operated vacuum, but you may not be satisfied unless you order a plug in model. I also bought a Bissell carpet cleaner to get any additional stains/dirt out of the carpet.

Sorry, don't know that but one needs a vacuum that has at least 11amps. Unless you take it apart to clean all the pieces of the filter system, you'll be pushing dirt, dust and pet fur around as it'll stop picking anything up. Not the best small, bagless vacuum, I've ever owed. They discontinued the model that I had for 12 years that was powerful and easy to use with a better aerodynamic design. This one is "okay" but an older model was awesome. Good luck.

I have a feeling that it won't work for you. We don't have a pet, but I know what you mean. Load the carpet up with baking soda and let it sit for an hour then vaccumn, maybe that will work. Good luck.

I'm sure it depends on your cat. My cats do not like my large vacuum or even the Dyson hand vac. They will tolerate them until I get within a few feet and then they evacuate. However the Neato is rather quiet and I assume a lot less threatening to them because of its size and they don't seem too bothered by it. They sleep on the couch as it goes around it, or watch with curiosity. My dog does not like the Dyson for some reason and barks when I turn it on but isn't bothered in the least by the Neato. The dog walks in front of it sometimes and the Neato has to navigate around the dog.

ABSOLUTELY NOT! An excellent machine! One tip (for any type of sweeper) if you want to pick up pet hair from any carpet. Mist your carpet with water VERY lightly. Your sweeper will pick up hair 3 times faster and more thoroughly.

I dont have a pet inside the house, but my wife absolutely loves this vacuum.

I own both vacuum cleaners. The Pet Lover is great because of the extra attachment for pet hair. I love it.

The reviewer I believe is wrong, it is very good on carpets for quick jobs. If you need to clean the carpet 100% than you need a bigger vacuum cleaner for a non-rush job.

Hello lynWe love the vacuum but don't have pets so I can't give you an accurate answer on this one

Never tried the Dyson. It's great on hardwood, carpet, and definitely pet hair! I have two collies and two cats, so I know whereof I speak on this :-) You do have to empty it almost every time you vacuum with all those pets, but since you aren't paying for bags, no problem!

I have not have a pet but I have been totally satisfied with the Boss. It lifts up the nap on my carpet and cleans both carpet and hard flooring. I do wish it had a longer hose for the attachments.

You shouldn't have to do anything but I think the vacuum has to be upright when using it.

Yes, it's a great vaccum. I like it because it is light weight and you can carru it wherever you need it. I have one as well as both of my daughters. (Lots of dogs and kids). My only advice is be careful with the automatic cord rewinder. Don't let it rewind fast. Two of us had to have them replaced and it was very costly.
