While I understand that this is mainly a pet dryer and a utility vacuum, I am wondering if it would work to remove loose dog hair from rugs?

Yes, definitely. Although the receptacle is smaller than that of a vacuum, the hairs compress nicely to fit a nice amount and make it easy to empty. I would suggest using the vacuum at the low speed to prevent damage to the motor from grit or dirt.

It works great for that. I use it to vacuum my car and it's very easy. You just have to adapt it for that purpose.

You have to change it from "blow" to "suck" (sorry). I watched a youtube video to learn how to do it. You unscrew the end, take out a plastice fitting and insert the hose. It's simple once you do it. It will work wonderfully on your rug.

Of course. All you do is disconnect the head from the hose and use whatever attachment you want for the job. Just remember, without powered brushes it won't pick up all the stuff on the carpet. We have cats and it does a good job and the head doesn't get jammed. If it does just unplug the vac and pick the hair out of the brushes. Be sure and have suction setting on 'High' and change the bag when it's getting full.

I find the suction to be wonderful! I have a dog, and 4 cats and it picks up everything they shed. Don't believe the recent competitor commercial that shows this white substance not being picked up by the machine! I have used it to pick up saw dust from indoor wood projects, glitter, and a host of dust like jobs!! It works very well. But you need to know your home's needs - if you have thick pile carpeting then a stick-vac (any stick-vac) may not suit your needs. :)

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.

Hi. It does do very well with rugs, etc. Really a powerful little machine. I think its's great and the extra length cord is a definite plus.

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.

Thank you! I have since repaired my old Dyson DC21 canister. I tried the new Dyson canister and it only has an air driven (not electric powered)rug brush. Useless for pet hair. I also tried the DC 65 upright. Nothing worked as well as the original. Although Dyson assured me air driven was more powerful, it was a joke.

It will clean carpets with little dirt, if you have cats or dogs no way. The vacuum is better suited for hard floors, cleaning ceilings, and if you can find one a vacuum power turbo brush which I use in my car. With a turbo brush it works great on rugs.

I believe it would help - I don't have pets now but used it when I did have a cat and dog. If there is an abundance of hair in combination with dust, some of the hair/fur/dust will fall off of the mop. I do believe it was effective in collecting some amount.

It works great on pet hair! I have two big golden retrievers and dog hair is everywhere. This vacuum is perfect for picking up dog hair and is super quiet. You will love it.

I don't have pets, but I doubt it. If you are talking about removing pet fur from a pile carpet, you may need something along the lines of a Kirby or Dyson. When we got our Kirby years ago, it was picking up dog fur from the carpet & we don't have a dog. It was from the previous owner. Also remember, vacuums always work better when they are new. You may get something that will pick it up when it is new, but after a while not quite do it. Good luck.

This cleaner is very powerful for a lightweight unit. I feel it did an excellent job of removing dirt from deep down in my carpet. I don't have pets but feel it would pick up whatever is in the carpet. Good luck!

I agree with the other commenter...This is would not be an ideal choice for rugs/carpet. It does a great job picking up small debris on tile and hardwood flooring as well as food crumbs, etc. on upholstered furniture when used as a hand vac.

I use mine on all hard floors and area rugs and it works fine. I think it would be fine as long as you say the rug is low pile. It even picks of cat litter which is better than most cordless vacuums.

it doesn't work very well on any surface :(. It does do an alright job at getting pet hair off rugs but that's about it.

Yes! This is truly amazing for removing any kind of pet hair, lint and even loose soil. I use it on my clothing as well as furniture. And the large size makes it a quick job. You need to buy the one that has the handle first though, so you have something to hold on to. Then, the refill.
