How does this vacuum perform on hardwood floors with pet hair?

In my home all I have is hard surfaces for my floors because I have at this time 2 dogs and 2 long hair cats. When I moved in here I took out all carpets - this is a desert location and well difficult to keep floors clean all that to say, I have wood, tile and laminate flooring throughout my home. I needed a vacuum that would do a major clean up on cat hair and cat litter plus all the miscellaneous 'stuff' that comes in from the gardens on all the paws. I needed a vacuum that could be used with and without the brush because the tile needs the brushing element to get litter out of the grout between the individual tiles...this vacuum does it ALL my tiles and my wood/laminate without brushes that can destroy the wood/laminate finishes. I keep the recharger and vacuum in my office also where the litter boxes reside and any mess is quickly cared for with so little effort. Since my cats are a breed known as Ragdolls and quite large in size I do have cat hair to content with along with litter....not a problem for this vacuum. You just pop off the canister on the front and I do this at my outside garbage area and shake out the canister - the filter comes out easily and I clean it with a very soft tooth brush...takes so little time and I've my vacuum back on its stand recharging in readiness for the next use. I have talked on at length, however in my defense I am 80 years old and when I feel I have something worth talking about, I do. Hope this answers your question.

Works very well for me, and that's why I bought a second one when the first one "bit the dust" after several years. We have 2 large labrador retrievers, plus a "grandpuppy" who visits frequently, so the vacuum gets frequent workouts.

If you vacuum in slow motion its works just fine. I really like this vaccum there is only one thing not so good. You have to clean the "bag" very very often, when not, the brushes stop to rotate and the engine start to sound very high pitched. But with this I can live and my cats are not afraid of this vacuum.Over all yes its cleans on hardfloor and carpet really good. For this price you have a excellent between vacuum and if you have only a small space living in, than it is the right tool

I returned Dirt Devil because it did not fit my needs. Instead, I ordered the Linx Hoover Coordless with Lithium battery. This worked better with my carpeting and tiled floors.

This product was incredibly disappointing. I purchased for just that purpose and it does not work. Once it is on for more than 5 minutes it looses it suction by about half. Go with another product.

Excellent. I love this vacuum. The only problem is I would like a bigger dirt cup. It's not that much an inconvenience. I absolutely lone this vacuum and the charger is great

It does a pretty good job. My hardwood is in the kitchen, so there's a lot of dirtiness. I like using the vacuum to pick up all stuff that gets in the corners of my hardwood floors, and then do a swiffer/mop on top if it to truly clean.

It works great on pet hair! I have 2 indoor-outdoor cats. The Hoover Platinum vacuum system is very effective at cleaning up fur, dander, and any debris the cats bring in from outside. The bags collect everything and seal it inside. The upright vacuum cleans up pet hair from the carpets and hard floors. The canister vacuum cleans upholstery and cleans up corners, baseboard, all those hard-to-get-at spots. These vacuums are lightweight, easy to use, and do an excellent job.

Yes, it is best on hard floors. The attachments are excellent for removing pet hair from upholstery and the suction is remarkable - the most powerful vacuum I've owned.

Don't have a pet, but I probably wouldn't recommend it if you have a lot of pet hair. It's suction power is not nearly that of a full size vac.

I love this vacuum. I purchased this when we replaced our carpet with wooden floors. Our dog sheds quite a bit. It works very well with picking up pet hair on hard floor surfaces. You will have to clean filter areas monthly to keep suction up to par. You won't be disappointed.

I have hardwood floors in the entry foyer, the kitchen and dining room with rugs. I have 3 cats and a dog (don't judge) and I am thrilled with the power of this vacuum. I was skeptical (especially since it is pricy), but I can honestly say it is the best vacuum I have ever owned, (I've had 4). Well worth the money...I'm still amazed at how much it picks up even off the wood and when you think it's clean.

I have two big dogs also. They aren't real furry but they do she'd a good bit. I don't use it on hardwood floors a lot, but when I do it seems to work fine. One nice feature is that it's easy to disable the brushes when using on hardwood.

We're in the same position. Hardwood floors with two Newfoundlands. All of the pet hair vacuum's I've seen see to be upright while all hardwood floor vacuum recommendations are canister. Does anyone marry the two into one?

I've used it extensively on my hardwood floors, and it works great.I absolutely love this little broom, and think that anyone would has a lot of pet fur flying around will love it too. Don't know how I lived without it...

This is a light duty vacuum, my wife uses it in the kitchen and two hardwood floors and loves it. No sure how well it would wrk on carpet although it does have a brush roll. We don't have any pets.

The vacuum is powerful and it sucks up dirt easily. The only thing you need to be aware of is there is no rotating brush to dig up the dirt in the carpet like other upright vacuum cleaner. It works great on hard wood floors.

I only use it on hardwood and tile floors. It's not good as the only vacuum.

Works very well on carpets and rugs. I don't care for it as much on bare floors unless I use a non- rotating attachment. The way you disable the rotating brushes on the standard attachment is by this trigger that opens up an air inlet thereby causing the brush mechanism to lose suction and stop turning. Problem is that it seems to also lower the suction overall so it doesn't pick up a lot of stuff. My solution is to use one of the optional attachments or to just let the brushes run even on bare floors. They are soft and don't leave any scratches. Overall I really like this vacuum cleaner. It seems effortless to move around. Much better than my old canister vacuum. It also takes up surprisingly little room.

This is awesome on carpets and furniture, but not so good on bare floors. It will suck up big stuff, but it doesn't do nearly the job that a canister vac with the brush does. The lift-off option is great and with the pet attachment it's a breeze to get hair off of the stairs, but if there is sand on the stairs you would need to lug the whole vacuum to do an adequate job. No bags, like the dyson, and very easy to clean.

I have hard wood with 2 large rugs and a dog,the roomba cleans the hard wood and transitions to rugs easily. I have not vacuumed the rugs once and there is no loose dog hair on my hardwoods!

This vacuum works great! We don't have hardwood floors. But, it works great on our short pile and extra pile carpeting. We have a few cats and we vacuum often. My husband loves the features. He especially likes that the beater bar disengages when using the extra tools. Great vac for pet owners!
