Does the roller brush get plugged with pet hair? I have 3 dogs and my dyson roller brush is continually in need of cleaning.

I've only had mine for a couple of months, but so far it yas not needed cleaning. (In a home with two cats).

For as long as I have had this Hoover WindTunnel T-Series, it has never clogged up with hair, mine nor my pets hair. I just looked at my roller after vacuuming my whole apartment and the roller has absolutely no hair stuck to it. I love this machine. You won't go wrong purchasing it.

Yes! I like the ease of use. You just have to make sure you clean off the brush (it comes loose so you can free it up for easy cleaning) Mine gets full of hairs from the dogs, and mine and my daughters long hair)

I have a dog the sheads a medium amount (weekly vacuuming is ok). And I haven't found any hair stuck to the ball. It doesn't feel sticky and it hasn't gotten a hair grabbing charge like a rubbed balloon either. So it shouldn't be an issue.

This is a great vacuum for pet hair. I have 2 Bernese mountain dogs, a cat and a lab. This is my all time favorite vac. Got rid of my dyson for this and I'm very happy.

No. I have a Sheltie (she has a double coat) and I have long thick hair that sheds too, which usually clogs brush rollers and wears down all of my machines. More than 6 months later of vacuuming at least 1x a week, and the roller is relatively clear of any hair, fuzz, etc.

Thank you! I have since repaired my old Dyson DC21 canister. I tried the new Dyson canister and it only has an air driven (not electric powered)rug brush. Useless for pet hair. I also tried the DC 65 upright. Nothing worked as well as the original. Although Dyson assured me air driven was more powerful, it was a joke.

I'm bald, so there's not much human hair. I do have two Golden Retrievers who shed enough hair to make a new dog. That's why I got the cordless vac - to do quick hair pickup jobs. I've got mostly hardwood floors; the vacuum switches back and forth from the rotary brush to no brush easily, and it picks up a lot of hair in either mode.

Hi there. I have never personally had the brush roller stop turning, however, if you have a lot of girls in your family, you may want to make sure there isn't a lot of hair wrapped around the roller. I have to get my scissors out every couple of months. You may want to make sure the switch on the handle that changes it from air to roller brush is making contact. If all else fails, this vacuum has a 2 year warranty. I googled the problem and this is the reply I saw.*Brush roll not working after a few months because wires (that supply power to the it) located in the pivot (or joint where the base and body meet) of the vacuum either got severed or insulation scrapped off because of the constant rubbing of the wire and plastic.* The customer service number for Hoover is 1-800-944-9200. I hope one of these solutions will help. Good luck to you.

Your asking for a lot of problems if you want a Roomba to go after "enormous" fluffy dog hair piles. The brush on the Roomba will only hold a certain amount of hair and then it's time to pop the brush out and take a wire brush to it for cleaning. I wouldn't suggest a Roomba to anyone who owns a dog that sheds a great deal expecially if it were a long haired dog. They would surely be disappointed in the amount of work it took keeping the brush working properly.

Yes,it does have a brush roller, and it automatically adjusts to floor hight. I got a dog three years ago, who sheds like no animal I have ever seen, and my forest green rug looks great, after I vacuum. I know I sound like an add, but I bought a second one, new in the box, and it is stored in my garage until this one wears out. Thats how much I like it. Good luck, and good vacuuming.

Yes! I use the roller to remove pet hair from both furniture and clothing. Since my wife has 6 cats, that's a lot of hair.

How often do you have to clear out the hair? I have 5 dogs. I would be constantly empting it, right?

For the most part I like this vacuum very much, but I'm not sure I would recommend it for people who have long-haired double-coated dogs such as my two Shelties. Unfortunately the hair wraps around the brush roller and I find it necessary to take a seam ripper to clear the brush roller of the dog hair after every vacuuming. This process is somewhat tedious, and I usually end up with quite a pile of dog hair that didn't make it into the bag.

Sorry for the late response. Yes it does. There are two brushes that come with the vacuum; the standard brush and the pet claw. The pet claw's bristles move once it's attached and the blue nob is turned for the use of the hose. I think this vacuum is really good. It is very light due to the vacuum being mostly plastic. But, its very durable and gets the job done. This vacuum is currently sold in stores. I purchased mine at Sears. So if you want to get an idea of how it feels and really looks, head over there or go to your nearest department store. I hope that helps! :)

No, it's just the vacuum head but it works great. We have three large dogs that never stop shedding. This head doesn't clog or get all tangled up with hair. We love it

I don't have a good answer for that! Mine does that too sometimes. I end up taking the brush out completely and clearing any dog hair that is wrapped around it all the way out to the ends. Then it seems to work. Sometimes I don't find much on the brush because I clean it off regularly but it seems any little bit can cause it. I wonder if a new brush would help.
