Does this Vacuum pick up cat hair on carpet good? I have a Bissell and it sticks. Since this is a 5 amp.

Yes, it picks up cat hair very well (I have 2 long hair cats). The only down side is that I have to clean out the brush and the vacuum cup often. I think it's worth it because it makes easy work of doing fast daily clean-ups.

My dog hairs come right out on the flat carpet, but I have to work harder on the shag rug in the living area.

Hi Lana....good question! I have owned a Hoover Wind Tunnel for about 20 or 25 years now and have never had that problem. I know it does pick up pet hair very nicely. I used to have 6 cats and 2 dogs and my housecleaner used my Hoover and never complained about pet hairs not being picked up. Since getting my new Hoover Wind Tunnel I only have one dog who does not shed and my hair is short. So I don't really have an answer for your question. But it would really surprise me if you did have any problems at all with this vacuum.

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.

It does not work well on carpet, only hardwood floors. We don't have a pet but I would guess that it would not pick up pet hair on carpet.

I don't know the answer to that question, but I spent too much time on the Bissell Hot Line on hold to find out the answer. I have a long haired cat and the Bissell did a good job of picking it up the fur, but needed charging too often. I went out yesterday and bought a new Sharp Cordless Sweeper, which is charging as I type this. The Bissell will hit the trash.

No. This is pretty useless for picking up cat hair on carpet---disappointing.

Yes, it works great on carpet ! Cant believe all the hair and lint it picks up...great suction.

I find the suction is really good with the attachments. I do have to be careful to not accidentally whisk by an unintended target and suck it up. I will have to say...on another subject.... that it is really hard to get a good suction on an uneven carpet. I purchased a rug with different heights and I find that the vacuum is not heavy enough to get a good suction. I have to go over it numerous time to get the dirt (front hall rug). Now I wish it was a little heavier to really get a good suction.

This attachment has a lot of power and the brush rotates so it should do well in picking up cat hair. My concern would be in corners, etc. but you could use the crevice attachment for that.

Yes, it definitely picks up cat hair. We have two cats that shed year-round, a long-hair and a short-hair. The long hair winds up on the brushes so you have to manually pop the brushes out by flexing the plastic housing slightly near the wheel axles and then pick away the hair. Clean out the housing while you're at it. A brushless vac with a bag or dust container makes the job easier.

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.

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.

We do not have a cat so don't know if it will pick up cat hair. We did have a Lab with a heavy coat and it did a good job as long as you vacumn before you use the rug shampoo.We do not have a cat so cannot answer the part of the question re cat hair. We did have a Black Lab with a heavy undercoat and the cleaner did a good job as long as you vacumn before you use this machine. We were actually pleasantly surprised as to how well it cleaned our rug which is a light colored Berber.

I have successfully vacuumed up pieces of thread with the Bissell, but it is not strong enough of a motor to handle dog hairs! You need a bigger vacuum cleaner for that kind of job, I'm afraid.

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.

First, the Bissell is a very powerful vacuum and the attachment for the pet hair has a rubberized head with short protruding nubs and while rubbing on the pet hair it will loosen from the fabric and at the same time will suck the pet hair into it's belly...LOL. This is a great little powerhouse! S. Sweet

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.
