How good is this item in regards to picking up cat hair? We don't have stain problems, but tons of cat hair everywhere.

I do not use my carpet cleaner as a vacuum cleaner. The instruction manual warns against that idea repeatedly. I vacuum area(s) several times before I steam clean.

We have 2 small dogs and a cat and we were pleasantly surprised that the steamvac picked up the hair, however we did vacuum before steamcleaning. We did have to go over the carpet a few times to get it all up..but it does have great sucking action.

It does a pretty good job in short dog hair. So it should do pretty good on cat I would would hope.

I don't have a cat, but I do have a dog. I think it does a good job of picking up what the vacuum cleaner misses. But I never use this machine without vacuuming first. I think that is the reasonable first step to carpet cleaning.;-)

I have 8 cats and 6 litter boxes (sigh hehe) and the Dyson's work great for picking it up. Usually just one pass forward and back and it's all gone. Of course you'll still need the wand to get the stuff at the baseboards/corners.

I have two, short-haired tabby cats. This vacuum has done well picking up their fur off the carpets and from their favorite hanging out places. The power hand tool works okay, but is not a miracle solution. It may be that the type of upholstery that I have is harder to clean than others because it is a heavy weaver with texture. I also can't say how it would do for fur off a long-haired breed of cat or dog. You do have to wipe out the inner filter occasionally if it gets plugged up with lint or fine particles to keep the suction up, but this is so much more effective and easier to use/maintain than my previous uprights. I think this vacuum is a good value and efficient performer. I have two, short-haired tabby cats.

It doesn't pick up well at all. I can't tell you about cat hair, I bought it to use in my cleaning business but had to give up and buy a different vac as this one doesn't really pick up small pieces of paper without having to go over the area multiple times. Hoover is a pretty good brand but this vac in particular gets a big thumbs down from me.

It does pick up hair but not having a cat, I can't say..It picks up quite a bit but does not do the deep cleaning as with a vacuum.. It is good to have though..

Cat hair generally isn't what I try to pick up with this sweeper, but we do have a cat and the sweeper does pick up at least some of the cat hair. There's always plenty of it in the dust bins when I empty the bins. This sweeper is certainly no substitute for a electric vacuum with a powered rotor brush, but nor should it be expected to be.

The vacuum worked fine for me on getting cat hair up. We had an older Electrolux and this got up lots of hair that the Electrolux left behind.

We have hardwood floors with 1 shedding rat terrior and 1 long haired cat... We have fur on the floor all the time. We also have cat litter sprinkled in the back bedroom. the other day I spilled coffee grounds on the floor. The Bissell picked every ground up without a problem. The Bissell really is doing a great job in getting the fur and litter up. It is light weight, so it doesn't wear you out when using it. I highly approve of this vacuum. When it dies, I will buy another one!

Does a really nice job of picking up pet hair. First time using, the canister was half filled with dirt and half filled with pet hair. I have cats all with different hair textures (and a non-shedding dog) and am very pleased.

We have a long hair cat and it does an excellent job of picking up pet hair from our rugs and wood floor. I can't believe how much is in the bin when it is emptied

We used it for all sorts of cat stuff...new and old. Worked pretty well. Our main focus was the odor control so I didn't pay too much attention to the stain part.

The Everholder FURemover Broom may be the solution. I have several dogs and cats and deal with lots of hair and litter. I use this broom every day and it works better than any other broom I've ever tried. It's sturdy and hair and litter doesn't fly around when you're sweeping. Definitely worth a try.

I have all hardwood and tile in my house and t works great so far. I also have two cats that she's like crazy. I have to vacuum often to keep on too of the hair but this vacuum really picks it up from everywhere. It comes with attachments for just about everything. It's completely sealed as to not expel the dirty air and hair you just picked up. So far so great.

First, congratulations on having such beautiful dogs! Second, I can only attest to my one collie. I use the "beater" head on all my carpets, and to date, I have been able to pick the hair up without any problem. As you know, during certain times of the seasons, the hair is more abundant than others. It's worked for me without any issues. I do, however, take an Exacto knife to the underside of the beater brush to cut the hair that is wrapped around the beater brush/bar. I do this frequently so it has never had any problems picking up the hair. Hope that helps!

It does a pretty good job on pet hair. We have 3 cats and a dog inside. The dog's hair tends to be coarse and the vac doesn't pick it up quite as well as I'd like, but then neither does my expensive Oreck. The Hoover does do a good job on the dust-bunny type little poofs of cat hair (but performs very poorly on cat litter). That said, l still give this vac an overall very good rating.

It picks up everything well. Just make sure you don't turn it off right after to sweep up the litter. Let it suck it up for a few minutes, I have Maine Coon and he does kick it out everywhere. And as a side know it does pet hair really well also.

I have 2 cats and a dog but most of what is picked up is dirt and carpet fibers. I don't think you'd have any problems, it's a really good vacuum in my opinion.
