I have bought a pet dust buster before and found the suction awful on furniture. How does this work with suction on a couch from cat hair?

Can't help you with pet hair questions. My wife thinks it's the best thing since sliced bread.

it's excellent except when the cat is on the couch. He's fussy about getting his tail in the brush. T2

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 just wipe it with a damp cloth. So far that is working for me. I just get a lot of cat hair and dust and it wipes off easily.

I can say, that with this Eureka Upright, "Billy"(our big brute) and "Betty" (our pretty kitty) who's long white fur was everywhere. On the very first time we used the vac on the hallway runner rugs, I was totally amazed on how well it picked up all the fur. To be honest. I have not used the small power brush attachment. Like the other answer, the vac is heavy. It has literally picked up better, than anything I have used before, especially for its price.

The Everholder FURemover Broom may be the solution. I have several dogs and cats and deal with lots of hair and litter. I use this broom every day and it works better than any other broom I've ever tried. It's sturdy and hair and litter doesn't fly around when you're sweeping. Definitely worth a try.

I have 4 dogs and 3 cats and I think it works good. It tends to clump hair in balls on the carpet that your vacuum misses and then you just vacuum it up when the carpet is done.

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.

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?)

In my experience, it works well for picking up pet hair from the hardwood and tile floors, and from the suede couch fabric...I tried it on my area rug out of curiosity and it didn't do very well. My biggest complaint, though, is in emptying the canister. You have to take the filter out and apart (the filter has 2 parts) to get the pet hair unstuck, and you have to use your fingers to get it out. I actually might return this dust buster because of this. I'm really disappointed, because I LOVE everything else about it except the emptying part with the pet hair.

I have a cat and she has a lot of hair. You find her hair on the furniture, the beds, the floor...all over the house. This has worked great for picking up her hair. The only thing is that the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser´s charge doesn´t last long. You have to charge it every 15 minutes. I am very happy with it.

The brush is motorized!!! It is turned by a rubber belt from the vacuum motor just like all good vacuums. And it is powerful! I was really surprised that it cleans the couch so well. I have 4 cats so you can imagine! The brush really cleans deep but it doesn't seem to hurt the micro suede material.

I have two kitty-cats and the vacuum has worked very well, so far, in picking up their hair from oriental rugs in the living/dining rooms, and from the carpets throughout the house. I haven't tried it out on the stairs, since I use my hand-held Dirt Devil for that chore. As you might guess, sometimes I have to cover an area densely covered with hair 2 or 3 times before all of the debris is lifted; but this would be true for any standard vacuum, I'm sure. I give this particular vacuum high ratings, not only for its ability to clean up pet hair, but for the ease in which it removes the offending dander & hair.

In my experience, the 10 amps of power pull dust bunnies out from under dressers that I can't see or even know they are there. My dust bunnies consist of hair from both a Pomeranian dog and 2 cats and it gives me great satisfaction to know how clean my floor really is. Works really well for toe-kicks in the kitchen, too. Anything that is specifically targeted, like along edges and corners, wouldn't have a chance unless it's glued to the floor.

Absolutely. I have 2 dogs and 1 inside cat. Picks up their hair from title floor , throw rugs, and carpet. Wouldn't use it for deep down carpet vacuuming but gets the surface stuff just fine. Also just finished doing my furniture and it got the pet hair off of it also. This is exactly why I wanted it and have been very happy with its performance.

The suction was pretty good the first time I used it. Since then not so much. I have no carpet in my house. If you are planning to use this on carpet don't, it's not made for that. The only thing I really like about it is the upholstery tool. I do use that to vacuum my couch and it gets the dog hair out great.

I have a white long haired cat and he sheds plenty. I bought the Black & Decker vacuum because of that. For me, it works wonderful for pet hair and always use the tool on board that is meant for just that purpose. Happy cleaning!

I got the pet hair adapter because I have two long haired pets and I have long hair myself. I have hardwood floors with rugs and it does an amazing job. I'm actually shocked at how much hair it gets up daily. I'm not sure how it does with the original brushes.
