I live in Alaska. We practically live in a desert. So I vacuum sand, pebbles, and I also have a cat. I use it to vacuum cat hair off the furniture. I also use it to vacuum up the cat litter that's trailed out-of-the-box. This vacuum has a very strong motor and also has a filter that you can clean. I love this vacuum. I've had it for 5 yrs now and it's still going strong!

Works well on hard surfaces. Light, easy to carry around. Easy to empty and clean. Good suction. I think this will work well for your needs.

It works good in hardwood or tile flooring. Wouldn't recommend if you have a lot of carpet in the house

We live in Tampa. I use mine all the time. I have two (make that three now) cats and a bird, as well as having had three teens in the house. Mine works great for all of that, but like I said before, I don't use mine often on our two carpeted rooms. I use our Dyson for those because I have severe dust allergies and a canister vac just doesn't have the suction to get deep enough into the matresses or carpets to remove enough dust for my liking.

It does unless your kid is very heavy and the cart is full. Depends on how dry or wet the sand is but if you just want to pull it with beach stuff inside it definitelly works well.

You have to buy sand locally. I suggest that you buy top quality playsand; you can get it WalMart, Home Depot, Lowes, KMart or Target. You'll need a few bags and we changed ours regularly to keep it clean.

I bought the pond vac to remove dead "sludge" from the bottom of my water garden ponds. It will certainly pick up sand. I must admit though,that the vacuum power requires constant "tickling" to maintain the vacuum power (the placement of the vacuum has to be ideally below the pond level being vacuumed.

It sucks up a little bit of sand but unless you bury the end in the sand then the suction isn't strong enough to pull it out of the tank. I actually really like how it cleans out waste from the sand and allows the sand to fall back into the tank. My best results are when I hook the vacuum up to a garden hose turned on all the way, by the time I'm done it looks like I have new white sand again in the bottom of my tank.

Yes, it would pick it up, but I wonder if the wet stuff would clog up the little brush roller and necessitate removing it and washing it. Better just get down on the floor with some paper towels. OTHER THAN THAT this little sweeper is wonderful for pet hair, dry crumbs and most other stuff. Both on hard floors and carpets. The best friend you will ever have as your kids grow up!!! Mine is 25 years old--the sweeper not the kid.

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.

Well...i have 1 dog and 4 cats and for me this has been wonderful!!!!! i use it 99% of the time on hard surfaces ( kitchen and bathroom floors ) but i have ran it across hair on the carpet and it picked up just fine...i also use it to pick up cat litter near the litter box....i love this and i think you would too :)

Never used it on sand, but worked great for cat litter and hair. Works very well for kitchen crumbs and I even use it in the family room on low carpet. Doesn't spread anything around. Litter stays in the collector unti you empty it.

It handles great picks up hair and dust quickly. I have a dog and my girlfriend's hair is everywere and this little baby picks it up with no problem .lightweight and is easy to clean out

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.

I have a cat and it does just fine picking up litter. I use the rotary head to do it as the suction takes too long to suck it all up. The rotating brushes seem to give it some help.

It picks up everything well. Just make sure you don't turn it off right after to sweep up the litter. Let it suck it up for a few minutes, I have Maine Coon and he does kick it out everywhere. And as a side know it does pet hair really well also.

We mainly use it for cat liter and dog and cat hair works well...we live in a small place... Works we just to clean up quick. It picks up most of everything. Charged battery and it works well...

It is a very good broom for picking up sand etc on the bottom of a spa or small childs or family size blow up pool. Just run a circle and all the dirt goes to the center and you can pick up the stuff real easy. On off is tricky until you get the hang of it and need to use dry hands because it is slippery.

I have not found anything better for picking up tracked kitty litter. I almost always use it on my bare floors. And it is quick and handy to pick up pet hair on the carpet. Definitely doesn't replace regular vacuum, but I wouldn't be without it for everyday quick sweeps

sorry, we don't have any animals at our cottage. however, it picked up sand, crumbs, bugs etc very well.i suspect it would pick up dog & cat hair, too.
