how well does it handle human and pet hair?

As well as any vacuum I've owned (Kirby, Electrolux, Hoover, etc.), but when I dump the container, I usually snip the hair that gets wound around the brush.

I'm bald, so there's not much human hair. I do have two Golden Retrievers who shed enough hair to make a new dog. That's why I got the cordless vac - to do quick hair pickup jobs. I've got mostly hardwood floors; the vacuum switches back and forth from the rotary brush to no brush easily, and it picks up a lot of hair in either mode.

My machine picks up hair easily, but it can clog the "throat" of the head where the vacuumed material goes up into the cannister. It's easy to take the head off and run a bent coathanger through the hole to push out the blockage. YMMV, because I have long hair and dogs with heavy coats. You might not get a blockage at all.

Thank you for refunding for this vacuum we have two gold retrievers and they are inside dogs in our house so you could only imagine how much hair. It does get stuck in the roller and you have to clean it out just after vacuuming one hardwood floor room. I believe I got a lemon but that is ok amazon took care of me and everything is ok in my book. Thank you for your support!

You would have to clean the roller often depending how many dogs. With two golden retrievers I cleaned it after one room but that's just me I hate it when rollers have a tone of hair in them. My hair also but for some reason not as much, probably due to my shedding schedule is not as often as a golden retrievers... ;)

My three daughters (23, 18, & 16) all have very long hair, and so do I. We also have six small dogs and a bunny in the house! This vacuum handles all the hair quite well, especially if I use it daily. If I skip a few days in a row, I find myself having to cut out hair from around the brush bar. I keep a metal handled flyswatter handy and sometimes use this as a tool to get out blockages that make it past the brush bar. I might have to use my flyswatter tool every three months or so. It's not really a big deal though.

Outstanding for floors and very short carpet. Needs to be emptied often and the receiving cup includes a twist out spindle that needs to be emptied as well. The vacuum is so light and powerful enough for our floors and area rugs!

It does a great job with dog hair. we don't have any long hair people-wise and it was the dog hair I bought it for. I love it.

It handles human hair well, but I can't speak to pet hair as we don't have any animals...

Best vacuum I have ever owned for pet hair. It has great suction. I have only owned it a short while, but I have had no problems with smell. Plus, it gets both bulldog hair and golden retriever hair.

I don't know. We have no pets. It does pick up human hair from the bathroom tile.

Does a really nice job of picking up pet hair. First time using, the canister was half filled with dirt and half filled with pet hair. I have cats all with different hair textures (and a non-shedding dog) and am very pleased.

I trust we're talking about pet hairs - and yes it does very well picking them up.

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.

Sorry, I have no pets so I don't have an answer. It picks up my hair but I imagine dog hair is much thicker. The brush is a regular one with two straight rows; they're fairly stiff and help to lift hair from carpeting.

As I've said, I've been using it on the Paw hair of my Golden and it really works well. Prior to buying this I was using an old Wahl hair trimmer (for human hair) and it wasn't cutting so I replaced the trimmer head and it still didn't cut. With the Pet Pro and the larger trimmer head it goes through the paw hair nicely. I can't imagine that it wouldn't cut the cat hair equally well. Also it has an amazingly solid feel to it.

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.

It's as good as it gets in terms of a lightweight sweeper. Does fairly well on pet hair, small stuff. Swivel motion is nice and easy to empty.

Yes, unfortunately it does collect pet hairs. Our daughter's cat loves to get up on our bed, and it takes me a while get rid of the hair by using a giant lint roller.

Hi Mae, We don't allow pets in our facility so I can't answer your question. I will tell you that it does pick up children's hair and thread well.

If you keep the brushes very clean and use it regularly, it does an excellent job. Especially on pet hair.

I found that it works reasonably well on pet hair, but does have to be emptied frequently as it can get clogged.

This vacuum is best on hard floors, and just ok on carpet. I use it on vinyl, wood and low pile floor carpets. It will do well with pet hair.

I'd say our carpets are about 1/2 inch high. It has great suction and does a great job of getting them standing up again. The trouble is that it cannot handle pet hair and that is why I felt compelled to warn others about this since it is advertised as the pet vacuum. There are only 2 humans and one dog in our house so it is very light vacuuming. I am hearing that the entry from the brush bar area into the hose that connects to the waste area is way too small so the hair gets clogged right there and works its way into the brush bar area. Even if you take it all apart with a screwdriver, you can't get all the way in to clean it.
