Does this leave bits of cardboard lying around to vac up? That's what I don't like about most of the cardboard scratchers.

The denser cardboard helps minimize the shredding. That being said, cats will shred it just like any other cardboard scratcher. These have a lot more use by cats though. They're fun for play, sleeping and hiding. I consider the shredding to be a good thing. You want your cat to shred this up. It means they won't go after furniture or items you don't want scratched. These are nice and large, if you have big cats. Scratching helps cats maintain their claws, as well as strengthening and stretching their shoulder and leg muscles. These are designed with recognition of those really important needs for your cat's health. The denser cardboard helps minimize the shredding.

Hardly any, unless they go crazy on it! Mine is just under the window which gives them a perch to look out for the neighborhood bully! My two guys love it!

I have the original PetFusion scratch lounger and that one does leave bit of cardboard, however, this jumbo doesn't seem to shed as much. It is still pretty new, however, but the cardboard appears denser on the jumbo, which suggests it may not shed as much. My cats LOVE all of their PetFusion loungers. Hope that helps!

Yes, but not as much as the original (denser cardboard). However, catches more cat hair.

It does REALLY limit the litter mess from a traditional box. It does not 100% eliminate it though, they track a very trace amount out that is caught in their toes. It's very minimal though. With normal weekly vacuuming, all is gone in a flash. So, yes it does! Not to mention how amazing it is otherwise... hope this helps! I should mention I use the "dustless" litter I bought here on Amazon as well, so that's probably some of the reason it works better too.

YES it is cardboard, but the innermost circle that attaches to the vacuum has a rubber ring.

The included tools aren't efficient at picking up kid mess like cheerios- they either push items or are too small for bigger area. You'll want to get the hard floor tool or wide open one so you can push/ pull while tilting it a bit. The vac itself is plenty powerful and a joy but items larger than cheerios will get stuck entering the collector.

Yes it does, but I didn't really notice that feature. I truly love how great the vacuum works. The suction is great. It picks up dirt I didn't even see.

It will stand up if you lock it in place with hard push, if you still have the box send it back , this vac is a big disappointment. It is very noisy and is difficult to empty as the dirt gets up into the part that doesn't open. I am looking for a more efficient one. I think they shouldn't sell it on Amazon, makes it not trustworthy.

We purchased a brand new one so there would be no chance of dust. This is the one we purchased and it works great. No more doctor's visits and when she was sick, we would use nasal spray to soften it up and then suck them out. Works like a charm.

I have laminate wood flooring, not hardwood floors. I usually sweep and mop that floor, but I got my vacuum out to answer your questions and went over the laminate floor with it. There is no scratching at all whatsoever and it does pick up dirt and stuff just fine. I've even picked up a few pebbles or a small screw, etc. with no ill effects. Great vacuum! The rotating brush on the floor doesn't bother me or seem to make a lot of noise. Just the same sound from the carpet to the laminate flooring with a little more hollow sound on the hard floor.

It does really well with fine dust like drywall. They demo it in one of their videos I believe. I think it comes down to how well your vacuum performs and how frequently you empty the dust bucket.

Not that I am aware of. That is my only complaint about the vacuum. It works wonderful otherwise.

Mine works fine in the garage for light stuff, and spots around the house. Of course we use a regular house vac on the 1st & 2nd floor. I am pleased for what it is. Greg T.

Haha I accidentally sucked it up in the vacuum hose a couple months ago. It ways under the bed. It is small but you fill it with cat and it Velcro closes, it was fun for my cat until it got sucked in vac. heaven

I mostly use the vacuum to clean up around the litter boxes. That fine powder and hair coats the filter until it's pretty darn thick, and I've never seen it lose any noticeable amount of suction. So for me, no, it doesn't seem to clog at all.

I'm sorry, but we've only been using it for about a week. I can say that in the last week, we have had that same issue. I was hoping it was just am issue with the vacuum getting to know its surroundings, but it seems like that may not be it.

No, I do not believe it is a wet/dry vac since there is a filter in the waste container that would get wet. If I vacuum before I use the steamer and make sure I have washed the steamer pad (atleast every once in a while), I have not had issue with smudges or stuff left over. I also don't have any water that is standing when I'm done steaming to vac up. Hope this helps!

That would be difficult for me to answer because all of my floors are tile some rooms have carpet over the tile. I really like my vacuum and it is great for me because I can not use one that is heavy at all. I do not see any thing on the vacuum that would scratch.

There isn't very much "shedding" of material - I mostly just clean it up in the course of regular vacuuming - but if you're particularly fastidious, you may find yourself doing more. I've had cat scratchers that have lost much more of their surface much more regularly.
