Works very well! We got this as a second vacuum so we don't have to move between floors. We have 2 little dogs, a cat and a rabbit so we have a ton of pet hair. We also moved into an older house with 25+ year old carpet. First pass through our family room and the canister had filled. Does a great job with cat litter and even small pieces of hay. Have used it frequently and we are not easy on it and it is still suctioning well- suction feels almost equivalent to our small car shop vac we have. Definitely a keeper for a vac in this price point.

Bought two of these; we keep them near our cat's litter boxes and use them to clean up litter they kick out. We also use them to suck up food that our son throws on the floor and small kitchen messes. They do a good job and have good suction.

PROS: Good suction, battery lasts long enough to clean up any mess when have run into so far. The battery is removable so when we need to, we can replace the battery without having to buy a whole new vacuum. Easy to service all the parts of the dustbin and filter.

CONS: My wife has long hair which gets easily wrapped up in the roller. It can also wrap up in the dustbin which causes it to clog and lose suction. The dustbin is not large so it has to be emptied after every 1 or 2 uses.

I bought this for cat litter. With 2 cats, I'm sweeping up litter twice a day and this has made it so much quicker and easier. Just sweeep it to the suction area and it sucks I up!  No problems. Love, love, love!

Works wonderfully.  My mom has a picky cat, who will only use this stuff.  I thought I didn't need it for my 2 cats who aren't so picky... but when I switched from Tidy Cats (or other brands we tried occasionally) it was obvious I wasn't going back.  This stuff clumps AMAZINGLY.  And I've scooped a lot of cat litter in my life.  Also produces minimal dust - which is so nice.

Love it!  Works great at containing most of the scoopable litter.  One of our cats is a messy litter box user so this mat has really helped cut down on the litter being all over the floor when he kicks it out.

Great for my small apartment! I have 2 cats and it does a great job with picking up hair &litter. The attachments are awesome with long handles. I'd say the only down fall is the cord isn't very long. Over all, perfect for the price!

The mat does what it says, at least as much as one would expect it to. Like all things that are meant to trap particles, this too needs to be emptied. I empty mine whenever I clean the litter box, which is about once every day or two.
The design of the mat compliments the area well, which is what initially drew my eye to this brand. However, because of the size of the mat relative to my cat's litter box, my cat occasionally walks away with a paw never touching the mat. I'm not sure if PetFusion offers a larger mat, but I just might invest in one if they do.

I use it for sifting clumping cat litter.  Makes cleaning the cat box fast and easy.

I am so glad I bought this little machine!  I have 3 cats and although they have perfect litterbox habits, they occasionally hack up hairballs and it seems they prefer doing that on carpeting.  I wanted a better, more thorough way to clean up the mess.  So I use paper towels to gently lift off what I can, then spray the area with diluted cleaning solution, wait just a few moments then scrub and suction away the solution.  I then take a spray bottle of plain lukewarm water and spray it liberally over the area and suction away the water.  I find that additional step helps flush away any residual cleaning solution and the carpet comes out clean, fluffy and fresh smelling.  Once dry, I can't tell at all where the problem was.  I then empty the dirty water into the toilet, refilling with fresh water from the sink and rinsing and emptying the dirty water compartment multiple times.  I rinse off the front of the machine, and remove and rinse the brush cartridge.  Whoever designed THAT has my thanks.  Keeping the brushes clean after each use is critical in having a machine that will work for you.  I find this Spotlifter easy to keep clean; after each use it takes me about 5 minutes to have it clean and ready for next time.  I highly recommend!

It's great, does a great job of helping to take care of a less than desirable chore with ease.  Less smell, less litter and greater ease if you follow the directions.

Great for tidy cats breeze pellets. Other scoop didn't have proper slots to allow pellets to fall through. Only complaint is that it's a bit small.

First time cat owner here: I didn't really know what to expect from litter but as far as clumping and smell control goes, this one is doing a really good job! I also scoop twice, sometimes more, daily and that eliminates any cat smell there might be. There is some tracking but I have a small rug right outside the litter box and by the time my cat gets out of the bathroom, there's not really any that gets tracked onto our carpet. I use this litter along with a covered littler box with a flap door and it's been a great combo so far!

I have had several different mats/carpets to catch litter from kitties' feet, and they've all worked so-so, but not great.

When I bought the Scoop Free litter box recently, I decided to get all the extras (hood, carpet) to really maximize the system.  I have to say that this plastic carpet works much better than I expected it would.  The way the plastic fibers are woven and matted really allow for lots of nooks and crannies to catch stray pieces of litter.  It works significantly better than any other litter mat I've used in the past.

It does have a funny smell at first (I'm guessing that goes away) that my cats didn't really like.  But they seem to have gotten over  it.

It's an excellent addition to the Scoop Free litter box.  Highly recommended.

As other reviewers mentioned, the Eureka 71B is a little heavier than you'd expect for a handvac. However, it works so well that I'm not bothered by the weight. The heft actually helps make the vacuum seem better built than most. I'm not at all worried that it will fall apart when I use it.

I mainly bought it for cleaning up after my cats -- one of them likes to knock the dry food out of the bowl and onto the floor -- and it works great for that. This little vacuum has no problem sucking up the pieces of dried cat food. It also does well at sucking hay out of the carpeting in my car and that's not an easy feat, even for a full-size vacuum.

The only thing that slightly bothers me is that the outflow of air is pretty strong. Considering how hot it is in Texas this summer, having hot air blowing on me isn't a positive. I'm only using the vac for small/short jobs though, so this is a really petty gripe on my part.

I originally picked this up for quick touch-ups, under the table after the kids eat, after day in the sand, etc.  I found it works even better on my half-bath floor, the one with the litter box it!  The head is small enough  to fit around the toilet base, and dosen't kick the cat litter around like  my full size vacum does.

This is great on tile, linoleum, etc.  It quickly sucks up cat litter, broken glass, and anything I spill in the kitchen.  Because it's so slim, it's much easier to maneuver in tight spots than the spin brush attachment that came with my Dyson canister vacuum.  I have to pull out the hair that gets caught in the bristles, but that's normal for a vacuum attachment like this.
