home healthy vacuum: how does this vacuum work with animal hair?

it works great, i have a basset hound and her hair sticks to everything. The turbo brush attachment gets it off couches easily. I think it is worth it.

It works well. My wife has a rabbit and a cat and a friend that brings her dog over all time. I would recommend this vacuum.

I think what it does is funnel the crunchy debris/dirt into the vacuum part - or somewhere that the vac can suck it up. Update on The Bailey (my name for the Neato) I can't imagine keeping up with the dogs/cats/dust/dirt without this guy. Even running it every day, I have to clean the filter in the middle of a run.

I don't have any pet, I don't know how well it works with animal hair? I guess it should works fine, however you need to clean the robot based on the instruction frequently.

Yes, it does. I have an Aussie and it does pick it up. HOWEVER, you have to stop every few minutes to clean the hair off the brushes and empty the collector. So I bought a cheap Eureka Pet vacuum cleaner and it's great of pulling the hair out of the carpet... which will help the Turbo Sweep... less hair. <g> BTW. I have a Berber, short nap carpet. So, if you don't have a double coated dog like an Aussie, Shepard, Huskie, etc, it should work fine for the price. Just know, you'll have to stop alot to clean out hair if you have a long haired dog or cat.

This vacuum is great on hard surfaces for pet hair. If the pet hair is typically hard to vacuum up because it is on cloth or carpet, not so great. It works very good to pick up loose crumbs on carpet, though. I have two cats that shed and I wholeheartedly recommend, instead, the Eureka EasyClean 71B corded handheld vacuum for pet hair on furniture. It is the only vacuum that will pick up cat hair on my velour couches because of the strong suction and rotating brushes. It is extremely important to clean the filter to keep the suction strong on both of these handheld vacuums. The filter on this Black and Decker CHV1410L is underneath the green filter cover that twists off. The easiest and most effective way to clean the filters for me is to use a shop vac on them. Of course, any vacuum with a hose attachment would work.

Mr. Cook I can promise you, the Dyson DC39 Animal Canister vacuum will handle any cleaning job. I can't speak about a long shag carpet, as I have a short shag, but I couldn't believe how strong it was. I have a short haired dog about the size of a Jack Russel, who sheds hair like you would not believe. Within a day, after vacuuming on the hard surface part of my house, I have balls of fur as big as a tennis ball all around the edges of the hall, and close to the edge of the couch. I just got my DC39 on 5/10/12, but I am one happy camper, I can tell you. The carpet in the bed room was just washed with an expensive carpet shampoo machine that I bought a while back. The shampoo machine pulled a ton of hair out of the carpet even after I had vacuumed it just before running the shampoo on it. I had just shampooed it again just a couple of days before the DC39 came in. The amount of fur that it pulled out of that supposedly sparking clean carpet, was astounding. Also in the same room I have a big king size bed that the regular vacuum couldn't get under. After looking at the amount of hair from the rest of the room, and emptying the canister, I thought about pushing the suction head under the bed as it is flat as a pancake, and can get under nearly everything. Again it filled the canister up. The handle has a button on it the lets you stop the brush from turning when you are on a hard surface. I suppose that's to make the brush last and not wear out on the hard floor. The brush turned so fast on the short shag that you could feel the vibration of it really strong as you worked with it. The head is almost weightless, but it makes the carpet stand up as though it has a lot more weight to it. I recommend it to anyone. Good luck.

I have two dogs and this vacuum works excellent to get up the dog hair. I have never had a better vacuum that did this good of a job. Highly recommend.

Yeah it cleans all floors, but it has a stronger suction than regular vacuums to get all the grime and animal hair

Great Question. So sometimes online you will find us putting the word "pet" in the title. We do this not because its a special Rainbow model for pet hair or even that it has been used on pet hair before but because Rainbow vacuums work really good on Pet hair and lots of pet owners dont know about Rainbow vacuums. So there are 2 tools that come with Rainbows that work really good with pet hair. The upholstery tool (which all of the Rainbows from GreatVacs will come with) and the mini head with spinning brushroll that only some will come with (this one does not come with that).I hope that helps :) If you have any other questions feel free to email us at service@greatvacs.comThanks DustinGreatVacs (seller) Great Question.

I have two kitty-cats and the vacuum has worked very well, so far, in picking up their hair from oriental rugs in the living/dining rooms, and from the carpets throughout the house. I haven't tried it out on the stairs, since I use my hand-held Dirt Devil for that chore. As you might guess, sometimes I have to cover an area densely covered with hair 2 or 3 times before all of the debris is lifted; but this would be true for any standard vacuum, I'm sure. I give this particular vacuum high ratings, not only for its ability to clean up pet hair, but for the ease in which it removes the offending dander & hair.

I have a cat and a dog with long hair. I have had no problems with this picking up the hair or litter, but hair does build up on the red piece in the center of the cartridge. You will need to regularly clean this piece off for optimal performance.

I like to think of it as a mess cleaner -- litter, hair, a spilled plant... but it is great for fur and dust. The filter on the inside catches hair very well and it's easy to detach the hand held vacuum to sweep up fur off furniture. I'm not sure about the warranty, but this will do the job for messes and pet hair. It really isn't meant to replace an actual vacuum cleaner, but it's pretty darn close in my house!

I found that it picked up some of the hair. Two of my dogs have short hair and the other long, I was still able to get up more hair using my old vacuum.

It does a pretty good job on pet hair. We have 3 cats and a dog inside. The dog's hair tends to be coarse and the vac doesn't pick it up quite as well as I'd like, but then neither does my expensive Oreck. The Hoover does do a good job on the dust-bunny type little poofs of cat hair (but performs very poorly on cat litter). That said, l still give this vac an overall very good rating.
