How well does this work on carpets? I have a long-haired dog and have to clean the vacuum brush weekly.

I acsually bought it for my wood floor and it works excellent . My hair falls and every day i must swipe my floor . With this broom is excellent . I don't have carpet but im sure it will work good as well .

I have not used on any carpeted areas just vinyl, ceramic and wood laminate.

I thought it did a really good job. It picks up a lot of dog hair. Have a pug with fine hair sheds like crazy. I use the broom first then vac. Also use it on the kitchen floor.

I use it on small kitchen area rugs only. It would be too much effort to do a whole carpeted room. It's best for hard surface floors. Makes cleaning a breeze on those.

I have three cats on lone haired---It does a real good job of bringing the hair to the top and in piles.. I then can easily pick them up---It keeps my carpet looking cvlean and the vacuum easier to maintain.

I have 2 ever shedding dogs in my home. YES! This vac works GREAT not only on my carpets, but my tile and furniture as well. Best vac I ever owned! I have had it for 3 months now and I use it for everything! You would never believe the power this vac has until u try it.

We also have area rugs, and the Dyson does a really good job on them! The brush assembly kinda' "floats" so we use it on rugs of varying thickness and pile quite successfully.

long hair does not seem to get stuck in the bristles or get wrapped around the head when the vacuum is used on hard wood floors or tile, probably because the head is not spinning. I imagine it would if you have a lot of carpet. I have lots of pets, long hair, and primarily hard wood floors, and highly recommend the vacuum....it works great!

If you are dealing with long hair shedding on wood or tile floors (I have a Husky and hardwood floors), then this brush does a great job of cleaning large areas. It will work to a degree on low pile carpets, too. Otherwise, for furniture and such, my recommendation is for a stiff-bristle 4-or-5 inch brush attachment. This particular tool is mostly for floor use. It works on window screens too; but keep in mind that the bristles in this brush are soft so they don't scratch floors.

I don't have long carpet; however, it literrally jiggles the carpet as you are vacuuming, so my answer is that I really think it would work well.

Absolutely. I have 2 dogs and 1 inside cat. Picks up their hair from title floor , throw rugs, and carpet. Wouldn't use it for deep down carpet vacuuming but gets the surface stuff just fine. Also just finished doing my furniture and it got the pet hair off of it also. This is exactly why I wanted it and have been very happy with its performance.

It does not work well on carpet, only hardwood floors. We don't have a pet but I would guess that it would not pick up pet hair on carpet.

It will clean carpets with little dirt, if you have cats or dogs no way. The vacuum is better suited for hard floors, cleaning ceilings, and if you can find one a vacuum power turbo brush which I use in my car. With a turbo brush it works great on rugs.

We own a black short hair dog. I think it does a very good job of getting her hair off the carpet, dog bed and furniture. The suction is excellent. The bag is very easy to change also. However, the bag does retain smells. My husband swears it smells like dog after I sweep, so I bought tablets you put in the bag to hide odors. I don't smell dog myself.

the dirt dog is a SWEEPER not a vaccum....but i use my dirt dog in the house too and it's great!!!....i heard the dirt dog work better if you have dogs with long hair....the vaccum robot has more of an issue with this

I have a Dyson and will admit that it cleans well. It is noisy and I had to send it back for problems with extreme noise, it took two weeks before it came back. A year later the same problem came back. I am looking to buy the Hoover.

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 also have three dogs and was given a Roomba for Christmas. You WILL still have to use your regular old vaccuum even though you have a Roomba. It will probably be great on your hardwood floors--likely a big help. However, on the carpet, it will probably just do 'maintenance-quality', picking up quite a bit of hair, but still not replacing a good manual vaccumming. (But hey, every little bit helps when have multiple pets). I run mine every day, and I appreciate its ability to perform damage-control every day with the "kids'" daily shedding, supplemented by my own once or twice a week regular vaccuuming. I empty the bin every time it completes a cycle. It only takes two seconds. If you try to run it will a full bin, it won't be able to pick up anything very well, just like a regular vaccuum. One more very important thing-- since you have pets, you'll have to be extra dilligent about cleaning the brush and the rubber thing next to brush. The brush is relatively easy to clean with the cleaning tool, but the rubber thing next to the brush can get hair wrapped around these tricky grooves next to its wheels--its kind of time consuming, but if you don't keep those things clean than its bad for the Roomba. Oh, and for other pet people out there, I was at Roomba's website the other day and they have now came out with a Roomba for homes with pets, so you may want to look into that if you are considering buying a Roomba. The Roomba Sage for Pets is like 219.00, and the Roomba Discovery for Pets is around 300.00. The brushes are supposed to be easier to clean than the standard Roomba.

I love this vacuum. I purchased this when we replaced our carpet with wooden floors. Our dog sheds quite a bit. It works very well with picking up pet hair on hard floor surfaces. You will have to clean filter areas monthly to keep suction up to par. You won't be disappointed.

I got the pet hair adapter because I have two long haired pets and I have long hair myself. I have hardwood floors with rugs and it does an amazing job. I'm actually shocked at how much hair it gets up daily. I'm not sure how it does with the original brushes.

I just used a normal vacuum. But my carpets weren't any cleaner although it did pull the pet smell out. I ended up buying a biessel carpet cleaner and I love it.
