I had this vacuum for 15 years and it was great for kitty litter. Lots of suction, better than my Sears canister. It is excellent on hardwood, concrete, vinyl, and on carpet it will pick up surface debris. I am on this site ordering another one!

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 hope this response answers any questions you may have. We have tried so many litter boxes and been so disappointed, not to mention the money wasted. Then we discovered the Omega Paw LitterSystem - inexpensive, no electronics, simple and efficient. No loud noises, no mess, no more odor - it works like a charm!! I highly recommend that you google the product and watch the several youtube videos. Then order one. Add a litter genie to simplify disposal and go back to enjoying your kitties!

I don't have a cat, but it has picked up a few pebbles that the dogs have tracked in. I'm sure it would do fine for small amounts of kittly litter. I don't know how it would do for larger amounts. Either way, I'd empty the dust cup more frequently.

I have two very small area rugs, and it picks up cat hair from them very well. It's a very low pile (I think that's the term), and I suspect that would be key. It also picks up hair from my upholstered chairs like a champ.

That is exactly what I want to use it for. The room gets so dusty but the cat won't use any other litter. We have 2 computers in the room, the cat box, and the dog is usually in the room with us. Anyone know if this will do the trick?

Yes!!!! Just be diligent about scooping but I work from home and have two litter boxes in my office. Before, I would be overwhelmed and have to scoop 2-3 times a day to handle the odor. Now, if I forget a day or two, its not the end of the world. And one of the cats has really smelly stuff.

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.

It won't to be honest. Our cats tend to jump out (sending litter flying as they do), though even when they step out they carry a lot. Also, due to the narrow opening and little of any airflow in the Litter Robot, the waste regularly stays quite moist rather than drying some during the delay between cat use and cycle rotation, so that contributes when they step in small moist or sticky particles that didn't get disposed into the drawer (or if the same or another cat entered again before it cycled which does happen). This unit is overpriced for the many issues that still need attention. Markedly the airflow and operation issues (litter that is moist gets stuck and jammed in the doors). It won't to be honest.

Yes, it does pick up cat litter, however, if the litter is anywhere near hardwood floors, I would be careful. Sometimes the litter can get stuck and cause a scratch. Doesn't happen often but it has happened to me a couple of times. Its not terribly loud but you can't comfortably watch TV with it running in the same room, unless you jack up the volume - at least not while it is on hardwood. It is more quiet on carpet. I usually just run it while I am not home or while I am doing other things and it doesn't bother me.

It has ridges so litter gets caught in the lines. I do the vacuum back and forth and up and down and can get about 90% of the litter. Every couple of weeks I have to pick it up and shake it. But it is flat fiber so it does not snag in the vacuum. Hope this helps. :). I have a Dyson rollerball vacuum that I use.

I have 4 cats and love this for how it cleans the carpets. As far as picking up litter and dry cat food-use a broom. You will be much happier. I find this will spit those tiny granules very far and that will make your cleaning task more tedious and annoying. My litter boxes are in a pantry with a tile floor, so I sweep the floor first, then do a pass with the Bissell. You could try getting the litter up with the hose and the extender attachment, but I think the hose is too short and too stiff to make it efficient for that kind of job.

HI, was not for me, but may be for some cats. Mine, jumped in and did their thing... Love it when they walz in house from outdoors and go to the litter box. I pick their little butts up and put them back OUTSIDE!!! LOL

We have 3 long haired cats and as of about a month or so ago... this vacuum. We love it!!! Picks up cat hair with no problem - both with the upright mode and with the hand held attachment. Just watch the levels on the canisters and empty them often... it fills up quickly... but that just shows me how well this thing works!

Couldn't find the review you speak of, but I have realized that really can't trust or rely on the limited power of cordless vacuums. I own this and during use it picks up my cat food but when you turn it off, the food bits just fall right out, meaning it lacks adequate suction to fully draw into the collection chamber. I ended up just buying another "corded" vac for real usage and use this weak vac for dirty simple jobs, like my car. But, before I shutoff after using it "everytime", I hang it over a garbage can to let out whatever doesn't get sucked up, its pretty ridiculous.

We have a cat with its litter robot (love that system) in the bathroom. I sweep areas where Rosie (Roomba) can't reach. Then I switch her on and shot the door. Minka our cat watches under the door as Rosie picks up all debris and litter. Does Rosie do a perfect job? No. Does she clean up 99%? Yes. Rosie has no issue picking up litter but if you have litter trap mat or mats some litter could get wedged between the floor and mat. She does a really good job. Combined with a periodic steam clean of the linolium it works great. She also pulls it out of carpet should your cat track some further into your house. Hope that helps!
