With the crevic tool in the corners and the pet attachment for carpet it works well for me and I have a dog

Hi Gina, I would by the Shark...hands down the best vacuum. I bought this Eureka at Wal-Mart and the pet hair will damage the end of the roller by the bearing, melts from the friction even when you clean the beater bar. The Shark tank will lift off so you can carry up steps very easily. I use the brush attachment to get the pet hair. I have an Irish Setter and the hair is long so it gets caught by the bristles. Those suction powered attachments wok so,so.

One story here, so no stairs to clean. If I had a second floor I'd buy another one for sure!

It works well the wand is long and there is an attachment for it I the most important thing is to keep the filter and canister clean so you always have a good suction. I just use my air compressor twice a month to keep it clean.

This works great on stairs. Disconnect the extension and use the brush attachment.

It works very well on carpeted stairs. For a hand held vacuum, it has plenty of power and a nice long cord. It may work a little too well, in that the canister fills up very quickly, so you will probably have to empty it every time you use it.

It pivots on the rounded piece on the bottom, allowing it to slide inside the rungs, then you step on the step above and slide the platform back out with your foot and step down. Hard to explain, makes sense when you actually see it working.

My experience is that it does fine on carpeted stairs. The brushes rotate consistently, and it picks up a lot, especially dust. First time I used it, I had to empty the canister frequently, as it picked up so much!

It can climb to the steps once for a while but not in every time it was turned on. When it can climb to the steps then it cleans. Thus, it is not a great reliable tool for cleaning steps.

This vacuum does a much better than average job on stairs. The motorized head is light and swivels easily. It has great pick-up, and a light on the head. The entire vacuum is very light and easy to carry on stairs. The crevice tools Los work well on stairs. The long cord is plenty for he stirs in most homes.

I do not have stairs, but don't see why you would need a separate attachment. It has great suction and should do the stairs just fine. I love this product, it does a great job!

Yes, this would work well on stairs. My regular vacuum attachments (Hoover) don't work because those attachments are female to fit to a male fitting and the Makita attachments are male to fit to a female fitting.

Umm I haven't used it without the stairs but it should be fine for dogs. If not they are pretty steep and shouldn't be in the way.

Yes, that was a main reason for purchasing it. It has a smaller head attachment that can be used for stairs. However, it is also easy to vacuum carpeted stairs with it as is, because it is lightweight and swivels.

I don't know if that would work because the ramp plastic is fairly deep. I think it would be hard to "hook" the ramp onto the stairs.

I works very well on stairs, just a bit of a pain to move up and down the stairs. Also won't completely get the creases.

The alarm sounds based on vibration, so I really think it would depend on the stairs. Concrete steps? Almost certainly not. Something with a little more give? Possibly. I would not bet on it working on stairs consistently though.

Yes, it does but you have to provide the power. If it's too heavy you may have problems pulling it up the stairs.

Works well on MY stairs. It may depend on the carpet you have, the physical wear and the staining, but mine come clean well....
