I am wondering if any who own this vacuum have cats and if it picks up liter or just throw it out the back like my current vac?

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.

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 a cat and use this vacuum mainly for carpeted areas. It sucks up the litter. I use YESTERDAYS NEWS recycled paper litter and just started using Feline Pine Litter and it sucks them both up. I am very, VERY happy with this vacuum and wouldn't trade it for any other.

On our linoleum the vacuum does both. Sucks up the larger pieces and throws the fine ones. On the carpet it sucked it all up. We sweep to the carpet and vacuum everything up then. Same with the bathroom rugs. We shake them over the carpet the vacuum.

If you had a vacuum where the rollers can be turned off , like a SHARK, you would not have this problem, Buy a SHARK, its still one of the best vacuums you can buy and at at 1/3rd the price of a Dyson

I have 3 cats but their litter boxes are not on the rug they r on cement... The vacuum gloggs constantly and will spit out almost everthing when it does.

Put the vacuum in front of the crunchies and pull back. They will get sucked up before the brushes can throw them all over. This is with any vacuum. This one is very good on floors too.

I found this vacuum to be a little hard to handle, the hose keeps getting on my way, it heavy plus it's not very good using it on carpet, I ended up buying a tool for hardwood floors and that its it's in use, hope it helps!

The Hoover does pick up cat hair (very well indeed from my carpets and bare floors). Does pick up the little kibble cat food (dry) from my kitchen floor. Haven't tried it on cat litter but assume it would do the job. Great little vacumn.

I have the same problem. All this vacuum is good for is touch up cleaning. Not powerful enough for anything else.

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.

it does an excellent job, but is not a substitute for vacuum. the dirt is sucked up into the sweeper, and there are 2 buttons to squeeze to empty the dirt. all of the little brushes underneath can be taken out to clean them. mine does a good job on cat litter. the only thing you must be careful about is: DON'T LEAVE THE BATTERY PLUGGED IN OVERNIGHT! this will totally wear it out and you'll need a new one.

I can say, that with this Eureka Upright, "Billy"(our big brute) and "Betty" (our pretty kitty) who's long white fur was everywhere. On the very first time we used the vac on the hallway runner rugs, I was totally amazed on how well it picked up all the fur. To be honest. I have not used the small power brush attachment. Like the other answer, the vac is heavy. It has literally picked up better, than anything I have used before, especially for its price.

I have three pets so vacuum thoroughly before cleaning the carpet. I have not had any problem with the Hoover. it cleans up easily.

Cleans up cat yak! I use the vacuum first to get the goo off and then use the pet cleaner to make sure no odor is left. I just got mine for Christmas and my cats were nice enough to give me two chances to test it out. :)

Not mine. I spend about 1/2 hour each time I vaccuum trying to detach the canister so I can get the dirt out. Most of the time, I just have to use a coathanger to pull the dirt out. Then, I have to vaccuum the floor where I was pulling the dirt out. Love the vaccuum otherwise.

When you dump the container, do you also untwist and remove the upper filter and clean it? I killed a prior bagless vacuum because I did not know I could remove the plastic filter and the dust clogged the filter and motor overheated. Good luck.

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.

My experience is as follows: You can take it to your local vacuum repair guy, who will charge you $44 to open the engine and clean it out. He will tell you that it will happen again and that you should have paid attention when he told you to get a bagged vacuum because the bag less ones have this problem chronically. I had been cleaning filters so it wasn't neglect on my part, though I do have three cats who shed. It's working fine again, but the next time it stops I will probably replace it. Good luck!

I don't really know , I only use it to pick up cat hair, I have two persian cats and their fur gets everywhere and this little vac works really well.

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..

Very well! I was shocked. The first one I tried was a Dirt Devil and it wasn't able to pick up cat litter at all. THIS one, however, this lovely Eureka has been perfect. It easily picks up all the cat litter (mine is normal Tidy Cats 24/7) and even sucks it out of the rugs in my bathroom, as well as the carpet outside the bathroom door. Even without the brush part on!

Haha I accidentally sucked it up in the vacuum hose a couple months ago. It ways under the bed. It is small but you fill it with cat and it Velcro closes, it was fun for my cat until it got sucked in vac. heaven
