How good is the 760 on carpet? I have two cats and there is cat hair and litter on the floor a lot. Would the 760 get all of that up?

Not a problem. We have one small area with a carpet that gets a lot of traffic because that is where the animals go in and out. The outside has a lot of red wood mulch around the plants which is attractive to the 6 cats. In addition, our 2 dogs love going out and rolling around on the Florida sand and tracking that part of our state back into the house. Therefore, that stuff ends up on said carpet. Chewy, the Roomba, has no ;problem going from the hardwood to the carpet and enjoys eating up the mulch and other debris on both the wood and carpet.

i have tile AND carpet. depends on the carpet. regular bedroom carpet: it does a great job. however, i just bought some modern "high pile" rugs at ikea and the roomba won't move on them :-( my mom has the 780 roomba and that one moves on high pile rugs easily. luckily, the rugs i bought are small enough to just shake them. again, it does a great job on regular bedroom carpets. my friends have only carpets and have had all generations of roombas and love them.

It works great on my hard surface floors. I would think it would work well on short loop carpet but I don't know about on pile carpet.

It really depends on how thick of a carpet it is. I have one large area rug that is very thick and it won't move very well. My other is a short nap and it does a great job. Just remember you MUST empty the refuse basket and clean the brushes often if you have a lot of hair. And like I have said before this does not preclude you from using your other vac now and again. Mine does a great job picking up hair, dirt and dust.

I have a cocker spaniel, it gets most hair, but not all. I did go from vacuuming the house 2-3 times a week to once a month with the Rumba running 3 days a week. Biggest thing is if you clean it out every time or every couple of times you will be ok for most hair.

Absolutely but you would need to run it every day. I have carpet and hard wood in my place and there are two women with very long hair that ends up everywhere and the roomba never misses a beat. I also recommended it to a friend of mine that has two cats and she and her cats love it.

Just got it and used it in three rooms. I have two cats and both shed a lot. This vacuum picked it up easily. Highly recommend it.

I have 2 Dyson Milti Floor Plus Compact vacuums for each level of my home. I have a variety of flooring including hand scraped wood, carpet and stone. The Dyson is great on each surface. I'm Amazed at how much pet hair my old vacs were not picking up! If you have pets, this Dyson is excellent! I have 4 long hair cats and a Lab plus 2 teens and husband and the Dyson cleans all their messes!

We have cats (and dogs), but we have the big Dyson (the one specifically for pets) to pick up the cat hair from the carpet. The hand held does great on picking up the fur that gathers in corners on the hardwood floor, and on the couch, but the couch is leather, so it vacuums right up. Not sure how it would do on a cloth-type of fabric, though.

I have 3 cats and a dog...the DC65 multi floor picks up pet hair fabulously!...amazing..I also use a hair remover brush thingy (lol) for blankets and furniture...$5 compared to the pet attachment..

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.

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 have 2 cats using the litter robot. Compared to the traditional litter boxes I've had there is less litter on the floor. I keep a mat under the whole unit & vacuum maybe once a week. But there is no litter anywhere else in the house.

I have two cats (one a long hair domestic) and both shed profusely! I had an Oreck that I thought did a good job but was getting old. I bought the Navigator because it was recommended by several friends. I vacuumed with the Oreck and then followed with my new Navigator just to test it. WOW...You would not believe how much hair it pulled for the carpet. I was amazed! I think you will be pleased.

In my experience, the 10 amps of power pull dust bunnies out from under dressers that I can't see or even know they are there. My dust bunnies consist of hair from both a Pomeranian dog and 2 cats and it gives me great satisfaction to know how clean my floor really is. Works really well for toe-kicks in the kitchen, too. Anything that is specifically targeted, like along edges and corners, wouldn't have a chance unless it's glued to the floor.

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!

I have (brace yourself) SIX (yes, six) indoor cats. Some long hair, some medium and some short haired as well. The unit does an impressive job of getting up the hair. I use the Roomba daily. After use the floors look great, I don't see any signs of cat hair. Sometimes I have to do a spot cleaning in a few areas that are popular hangouts, just to get all of the hair. Additionally, it does a great job of picking up food that falls on the floor and (my apologies for being a bit gross), dried up barf. Also picks up the (clean) litter that gets tracked around when the cats exit the box.

Picks it up decently well - Turn it to the bare floor setting so that the brush isn't running, and it'll pick up most of it. I usually go over the bathroom with a broom and mop as well afterwards though, I like things sparkling clean! In the carpet it picks all the litter up.

I have two cats and they both use this one just fine. They just keep it busy :) been happy with it so far. It can get a little temperamental at times if you move it from one location to another (adjusting it so it will recognize when a cat gets in it) and it is not the easiest to clean. It's also a little loud but not obnoxious. Make sure you put a big bag in the drawer as a liner because it's not fun if the bag comes loose or overflows. My 2 cats adjusted to it in a day. Very expensive but it's been worth it so far. Hope this helps.

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.

Well...i have 1 dog and 4 cats and for me this has been wonderful!!!!! i use it 99% of the time on hard surfaces ( kitchen and bathroom floors ) but i have ran it across hair on the carpet and it picked up just fine...i also use it to pick up cat litter near the litter box....i love this and i think you would too :)

That's the beauty of this thing! The litter is always clean. One is definitely enough for two cats. I have two for 6 cats but for awhile they were using one. I just had to empty the tray/bag every couple of days instead of once a week like I do with two.
