How is it at picking up dog hair particularly from Oriental type area rugs?

VERY good! While the house is "standard" carpet, I have a hallway runner and an entry way runner that are of the oriental-type. And, I have two large dogs. The dog hair is no challenge! That said, I usually have to 'toe stand' on the ends to keep them from sucking upward. Believe me, I have run this vac through Hades and back - and it is still going strong!

First, congratulations on having such beautiful dogs! Second, I can only attest to my one collie. I use the "beater" head on all my carpets, and to date, I have been able to pick the hair up without any problem. As you know, during certain times of the seasons, the hair is more abundant than others. It's worked for me without any issues. I do, however, take an Exacto knife to the underside of the beater brush to cut the hair that is wrapped around the beater brush/bar. I do this frequently so it has never had any problems picking up the hair. Hope that helps!

Yes, the Dyson can pick up long dog hair. The trick is to periodically clean the roller in the vacuum head. I sew a lot and threads often accumulate on the floor. The Dyson vacuums them up too. But sometimes the very long pieces wrap around the roller rather than going into the dirt bin. This brand of vacuum is the best I have ever had, it has extremely good suction. You will love it.

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

It works well on hardwood floors with floor brush attachment. We have dogs and it picks up all dog hair with lots of suction

It works AWESOME on stairs. Does a terrific job picking up pet hair and overall cleaning.

I can't say for certain, but it's great at picking up short, resilient dog hair embedded in to black auto upholstery.

I would definitely say this is good for pet hair. I don't have a dog but was dog sitting and hair got everywhere! Vacuum took care of it very nicely off of the rugs, carpet, wood floor and linoleum.

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?)

I just use the Master Grooming tool on my dog in the family room. There is not much dust, and I vacuum the floor when I'm done.

The Rug Rake does load up quite quickly, but it does a great job of picking up cat hair from a carpet. It's hard to remove the hair from the rake with your fingers, but I use a smaller soft wire brush like the "JW Pet Company GripSoft Cat Slicker Brush" or the "Oster Clean and Healthy Cat Slicker Brush" to remove the hair. Then it's quite easy to remove the hair from the smaller brush.

I use it on my oriental carpets and it works quite well, even with two constantly shedding corgis in the house.

I have two dogs, one a big shedder and the other not. It does a GREAT job picking up my Dogs shedding fur. The only thing is it shd be cleaned after each use, which takes a minute. Its very user friendly.

Good if pet hair is in small spots. A hand held is not meant for large surface area. However, it is strong enough to pick up fur in alll small areas. I can't imagine using it for an entire sofa. Your wrist and hand just couldn't manage it. I use it for quick last minute touch ups all over the house: lint, fur, corners, drawers in the bathroom and the kitchen. Great for the seams of the seats in the car, car carpet.etc, etc.

It will work well on dog hair if you are vacuuming a hard, smooth surface such as smooth tile or hardwood. We don't have any rugs so I can't give you an answer on how it will work on rugs. I will say that the suction is not very powerful so I would be cautious about buying it to use primarily on floors with rugs.

Don't have a cat, but it does pick up dog hair very well, if that's any help.

I have 2 Westie dogs and the vacuum does a good job picking up the hair. I picked this one because it has an electric vacuum head and many others only used suction.
