Why is this vacuum supposed to be so good at picking up pet hair? How is it different from other vacuums?

I don't know the exact mechanics of why it's good at picking up pet hair, but it really is. It does have a lot of suction for a small lightweight machine.

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.

It does work great for picking up dog hair..but the vacuum itself wasn't designed well!!! I wouldn't get it.

My mother has a Pomeranian, and I have a cat. We don't have a real issue with pet hair as the cat stays in the basement a good part of the time. This vacuum works well on carpets. All I can say is this is a good cheap vacuum. I would recommend a vacuum canister, or upright that says it made for picking up pet hair. Those vacuums don't cost a whole lot more to buy. Otherwise you will wind up purchasing an extra vacuum. Better safe than sorry. Hope this helps.

yes it does, I think it's great. It picks up pet hair and anything else in between. It's important to charge the battery after each usetor the next time you go to use it the vacuum won't have enough pick up. But overall I'm really happy with it,I love having it around.

It picks up hair but it ALL remains on the brush. After using the vacuum the first time I was dismayed to see how much hair entangled the roller. When I opened the dust cup to see how much was in there, I was amazed. There was NONE. Literally, not a single hair. I would stay away if your goal is to clean up after a pet that sheds.

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.

Cat hairs: terrific. I have two cats and it was able to get a bunch off from carpet about 3 hours after I had vacuumed with my old vacuum. Best vacuum I have ever had for hairs. It does okay on my two rooms that have vinyl. One is my bathroom and it picks up all the litter around the litter pan. The brush attachment works well on hairs on furniture. There is nothing I dislike about this vacuum. The only drawback is that it is a little heavy, but it is still very easy to push. Hopes this helps.

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.

In this household, it picks up pet/cat hair like nothing else I've ever seen or used. Mind you, this particular vacuum is intended only for hard-surface flooring, not for use on carpeted floors. I highly recommend it.

I think it is a great vacuum for my car. I have a dog that rides in the car and it is pretty good about picking it up. Now I don't clean my car as often as I should but do think it works great.

I have 3 cats and a dog...the DC65 multi floor picks up pet hair fabulously!...amazing..I also use a hair remover brush thingy (lol) for blankets and furniture...$5 compared to the pet attachment..

what is the special attachment for picking up dog hair? does it come with the vac or do I have to buy it?

It does pick up more deep down dirt and some of the long hair. But you are still going to get it in the brushes. I have 2 dogs and a wife with long hair. with the new bin I could tell with the first round it picked up more than the old bin. It is kinda like one of the wind tunnel vacs now.

Yes, it picks up cat hair very well (I have 2 long hair cats). The only down side is that I have to clean out the brush and the vacuum cup often. I think it's worth it because it makes easy work of doing fast daily clean-ups.

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. :)
