We recently got 2 guinea pigs and their hay seems to get everywhere. It can clog up the vacumm - would this be able to pick up they hay off carpet?

I would say it works best on a flat-woven carpet, not a shag-type. It's basically a rolling brush, so it picks up things sitting on top of the carpet. If your carpet is loose enough for hay to sink into it, it's not going to work.

I use straw in my feral cats bedding that somehow seems to always get tracked in the house especially if my shoes are damp on the bottoms.I can pick it up just fine with this little sweeper.But most likely it is because its on very low pile,kitchen type carpeting in my laundry room at the back door.I haven't tried it on more plush carpeting.But just looking at the sweeper I think it would work well on the shorter type rugs and carpeting.The more flat the carpeting the easier it would be to roll over and grasp whats laying there.

My opinion is that it should depending on the type of carpet. Carpet with tall nap (such as shag), probably not as the sweeper cleans surface unlike a vaccum that "sucks" up debris. My sweeper picks up cat hair, leaves, string and other items that appear on the carpet between vaccuming. I am very happy with the Bissell's performance, plus I don't have to worry about batteries or electricity. Just a quick once over with the sweeper between weekly vaccums and the carpets look great. By the way, it works on bare floors also. Hope this was helpful.

Yes. We have a dog in our house and it gets his hair off the carpet nicely. The carpet in our house is similar to the carpet in the photo where the vacuum bag is being changed (on the product page) and I am able to run the vacuum at full suction. If the carpet were longer than that I would suggest a different vacuum because you'd have a hard time pushing the cleaning head through thicker carpet.

I can say, that with this Eureka Upright, "Billy"(our big brute) and "Betty" (our pretty kitty) who's long white fur was everywhere. On the very first time we used the vac on the hallway runner rugs, I was totally amazed on how well it picked up all the fur. To be honest. I have not used the small power brush attachment. Like the other answer, the vac is heavy. It has literally picked up better, than anything I have used before, especially for its price.

i really dont know because all my carpets are low pile. I would think it would thought because the suction is really strong

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 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.

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.

currently have no pets. due to weak suction I doubt it would work very well to get lots of pet hair picked up.

I found that for cleaning things on top of the carpet or slightly under the top, it did fairly well. I found the suction to very weak. I bought a wet vac to use after I use it because it was not strong enough to remove much of the water.

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.

i use one and i just put it under the hay bin to try to keep it tidy. guinea pigs wont use a litter box they go wherever but i wouldnt worry about them eating the litter but you must buy a low dust litter or they will get lung problem try feline pine or even wood stove pellets. i use them for my ferrets they are super cheep and work wonders. i've never herd of them eating the litter.

I don't think this machine would have that much suction. It is really good for the usual loose dirt,, stones, etc in the carpet. Hope that helps. Jb

It has great suction and picks up all the dirt piles in our garage and in the cars. There's an internal dust filter that easily pops out and is easily cleaned (even washed). The end of the hose connection is approx 1" in diameter and then there is attachments that you can use. I'm not too familiar with working around horses to how the attachments would contour to the horse body to suck up the dirt is your call. I haven't used the wider floor attachments too much (approx 12" in length) but they have brush edges that would help. There is the small dust brush attachment that is approx 3" in diameter that could work well. I hope this gives you some insight and info to make a good decision. The unit also mounts very easily to the wall and will keep the hose up off the ground and from underfoot at you mentioned.

no,it works great on hard floors but only fair on carpets.I have a dog so I use a different vac that has the brush to get any pet hair

I have a feeling that it won't work for you. We don't have a pet, but I know what you mean. Load the carpet up with baking soda and let it sit for an hour then vaccumn, maybe that will work. Good luck.

I use it for my pet rats, one of whom is almost as big as a guinea pig. I think it would be big enough. Whether guinea pigs canbe litter trained i don't know. It has been great for my rats though. Really cuts down on the mess....

Oh my gosh, yes ! This gets EVERYTHING up off any surface ...great to do just before vacuuming. Unless the hair is from hairballs and has been wet..If it's embedded hair that had moisture...not sure...probably would with vigorous movement. If it's just dry hair, it will pick it up. It's an amazing product.
