Pet Hair. Anyone having a problem keeping these things clean?

No issues and we have had them for 5 months. We have a shed-y dog and a wool rug and nothing messes the fabric cover up.

I have a shark auto brush, which attaches to my shop vac, but yes they are very hard to keep clean.

We have 2 cats and have never had any problems keeping these speakers clean...

We have a cat who loves hanging around the speakers and there's been no problem keeping them clean. Once in awhile I use my vac attachment on them.

I have 2 Golden Retrievers, and 4 cats. The attachment that came with the pet version does a great job removing hair from furniture. It has no problem getting hair off the carpet. The canister does fill up quickly but so far I have saved a lot of money not buying vacuum bags. I used to have to clean the beater bar often with my old Hoover. For some reason this one doesn't get the hair tangled around it.

I've been rinsing mine out but I really think I need to get some new filters. After all, they filter crap out of the water and then, if the crap remains, you're not doing your pet a favor if the new water goes through the crap.

I've used mine for years. It does get hair and debris on it but I just clean it off. It's no big deal. I'm shocked that so many just use once and throw away.

I have Shelties...they shed like crazy also. I've had no problems with hair removal. I use a sticky roller or an upholstery attachment on the end of the vacuum to remove hair. Also, the cover is no problem to remove and throw in the washer and dryer. It slips back on the sofa easily.

I don't have a good answer for that! Mine does that too sometimes. I end up taking the brush out completely and clearing any dog hair that is wrapped around it all the way out to the ends. Then it seems to work. Sometimes I don't find much on the brush because I clean it off regularly but it seems any little bit can cause it. I wonder if a new brush would help.

I haven't had any problems with the pole, but make sure you hold only the blue handle when you need to spin the mop. Hair off the mop: I have a dog, a cat and two very long hair girls my mop picks up lots of hair but gets spinned off when I clean off the mop. I use 1/4 floor cleaner and fill bucket to the line with warm water. I have washed 2 mop heads (in the washing machine) after about 5 uses and haven't had any problems. Hope this helps you.Kristina

I have not had any problem and I have two of them. Maybe it's the cleaner you are using?

Simple answer NO! We have two dogs that shed and three cats. No problems with hair pickup.

No I have no problem. I have also tried other combs and I have found this one is working the best fir my furry friends.

I think Roomba does an exceptional job of cleaning up my dog's hair. I run it most in the rooms that she spends time in. Roomba finds hair that I can't even see. It's better to run it more often than less. My longer hair gets wound up on the brush, but my dog's shorter hair goes right into the bin and is easily emptied.

I don't have pets, but it does tend to attract some dust/hair. I could see it attracting a fair amount of pet hair.

Most of the pet hair falls out when the two little compartments are opened over a trash can as well as grit, lint, etc. Any hair, lint, trash remaining on the roller brush can be cleaned off with the little brush comb that is enclosed and clips onto the handle of the sweeper so it is close by at all times. I have been well pleased with his sweeper and bought 2 more for gifts. It beats dragging out the vac for a quick spiff up the carpet.

Whenever mine acts up I just take the brushes off and the squeegee roller and clean the tangled up hair from around the ends where the yellow things are. I also pull that front caster wheel off and clean the hair off if it. The roomba works fine for a while after that.

I use a lint brush and/or my Dyson Animal Hair removal machine. So I find it easy.

it's not difficult and absolutely necessary if you want it to continue to function properly. we have 2 dogs and three cats, and although hubby is bald i have hair down to my waist, so needless to say i'm daily vacuuming an assortment of hair of varying lengths. i'm assuming you are hoping to clean the head beyond the cursory just removing hair/carpet fibers from the bristles of the roller. first you'll have to un-do the two plastic 'screws' on the bottom of the unit. a dime or rounded tip of a butter knife work best. once that's removed find the 4 screw-holes. these screws require a star-tipped tool(we bought a set of them in varying sizes) once you've unscrewed these 4 screws the next bottom plate can be lifted free. at this point you'll be able to free the roller brush bar from the head. pay special attention to both ends of the roller where it attaches to the head assembly. in my experience both ends become literally packed with wound up hair, which ultimately prevents the roller from rotating at all. i've used needle-nosed pliers, tweezers, upholstery needles all in my efforts to remove the wound up debris. experience will teach you what best works for yours. while you have it apart it pays to go ahead and remove everything else that's become trapped in/around the moving part. the head can be taken apart further, though i don't do that usually but twice a year. it's a matter of a few more screws and close attention to putting it all back as it was. however the thorough cleaning of the roller bar i suspect is what you are most interested in. in my experience(with our # of animals etc,) i have to disassemble mine at least once a month to keep it turning freely and doing an optimal job. hope this helps. m. waite

Unfortunately, no. My dog has the same problem. It is pretty easy to clean though.
