Is this the same sweeper that features the removable brushes that user can clean and replace? Does it really pick up pet hair?

Yes, it is the same sweeper and it does pick up pet hair, especially from the carpet.

Yes you can clean and replace the brushes and yes it picks up pet hair. Cleans pretty good for the price.The only 2 things, it doesn't hold a charge for a long time and the dust cup is hard to remove and replace.

The brushes don't remove, however, the top does. You can clean the brushes out with the tool enclosed. As to pet hair, I don't have a pet but I cut my husbands hair. It does an excellent job of cleaning up his hair. We love it for quick clean ups.

You cannot remove the brushes, you can remove the cover and it exposes the brushes so you can clean them fairly well. I take off the clear plastic cover and clean it, you can wash it in warm water and dish detergent but be sure to dry it well before you put it back on. I use a microfiber cloth to clean the brushes and it comes with a little tool that cuts off anything that might have wound around the brushes. It does pick up pet hair well, I use it to pick up my cat's hair and he sheds LOTS of it. Hope this helps.

Mine came with 2 cleanable 'lint brushes' that I use on my sofa to remove pet hair. Yes, they do work. As I have 2 dogs, I use my swivel sweeper on the living room carpet daily as a quick picker upper.

These brushes are not removable as far as I know. I do think for the price it is a good deal. I have owned three over the last 5 years. I find them just ok on pet hair but great for around the litter box and for quick kitchen spills.

Sorry, James, we don't know the difference between the two models. We can tell you that ours cleans very well, but does NOT hold a charge. We need to charge the machine before and after each use to keep it reliably available whenever we need a quick clean-up...don't know if that's true in general or if it's a quirk of our particular sweeper.

It does a very good job picking up pet hair on floors and rugs in upright mode. The power hand tool does a good job on upholstery, but it takes some practice and more than one pass with my cat's hair. Make sure to clean the dirt cup and the cyclonic filter regularly though.

One difference I noticed is the brushes are removable so it's makes for much easier cleaning. There is no little cleaning tool with this one either. I saved mine from the first one and just snapped it on the new one. When I remove the brushes I take a pair a scissors and cut what ever is wrapped around the brushes in have the length of the brush and it comes right off. I have an Irish setter and he has long hair and if I do a quick sweep up job with this and get his hair in it the removable brushes make it easy to clean. You just slide one way or the other to remove them. They are spring loaded. Love my sweeper.

Picks up a lot of dog hair from our golden retriever. Best feature is detachable unit for stairs, corners, furniture. Dog hair brush is good. This Bissle sweeper is heavier than our regular $49.00 Bissles, of which we have four, one for each level of the house plus garage. I have to empty dog hair container after each room, or at least I do empty it after each room as it appears full.

It won't vaccuum or replace a vacuum.You need to vac first, then steam mop. It sanitizes and polishes the floor to an amazing clean, but it does not suck up pet hair.

Yes, it has a filter that gets taken out to clean. Problem is though, the filter has a nylon type covering on the part inside closest to the debris. The pet hairs then get trapped inside the mesh and then are unable to come out. At that point you have to buy new filter. I used it twice only in my car for the pet hair and the filter is almost totally full. I refuse to buy a filter after only 2 uses. The filter design is the only fault I have with this vacuum. I specifically bought it to vacuum my car out after my dogs are in it. Had I know it would be this way, I would not have bought it. Yes, it has a filter that gets taken out to clean.

Hoover is great for quick pick ups only. Don't even think about it if you have pet hair. I returned it right away.

Most of the pet hair falls out when the two little compartments are opened over a trash can as well as grit, lint, etc. Any hair, lint, trash remaining on the roller brush can be cleaned off with the little brush comb that is enclosed and clips onto the handle of the sweeper so it is close by at all times. I have been well pleased with his sweeper and bought 2 more for gifts. It beats dragging out the vac for a quick spiff up the carpet.

Yes it's available both on Amazon and on our website. It cleans pets hair from the floor and can clean both up and downstairs but won't go down the stairs, it has to be carried up or down where necessary

It very likely is. I don't have pets, but it easily grabs any crumbs or fuzz around. I sweep mine off or swipe with a discloth and it cleans super easy though.

I have a cat and it does not eliminate pet hair in the house, it catches some but not all. It sucks air so if the pet hair is not directly behind the machine it won't pick it up.

I am really surprised at the previous answer. I have been using the Meile S7260 since summer 2013. One thing that I was actually surprised to find is the LACK of build up on the beater brushes. We have 2 dogs (short hair, but shed like crazy), a rabbit, 2 cats, and me (longish curly hair that always ends up twirled around vacuum cleaner brushes!). Since I invested a good amount of money in this vacuum, I have always made a point to clean it up after each use by dusting it off and checking the beater brushes for string, hair, etc. I have not yet had to cut away or pull any hair or string from the beaters. This is really a great machine all around.

If you're talking about removing hair from the sweeper's brush, it is easy to remove the brush from the sweeper. You can use a scissor to cut through the hair and pull it off, or you can also purchase replacement brushes.

Yes. With multiple cats and dogs being able to handle pet hair is a big issue for us. It does the job better than our carpet vacuum on its hard floor setting.

It works well. There is a sweeper brush and it picks up pet hair by rolling. The hair gets swept into the vac. I use mine on laminate floors and see no problem. I really like as it is not heavy and does a great job. It does not scrape the floor. So I would say it will not hurt the floors

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.
