Does the brushroll cleaner really work?

The brushroll cleaner is precisely the reason I bought this vac! The long-haired people in my family had killed 3 previous vacuums but this brushroll gets totally cleared of hair every time. A great idea!

Yes but don't hold the cleaner blades down for too long because it will start melting through the roller.

So far, yes! I do the razor every time I vacuum so that there does not get to be too much of hair clog. I like the vacuum a lot - it's very lightweight and versatile. I think my only complaint would be that the attachments aren't that great. I thought I could use it as a stair vacuum, but it really doesn't work too well as one. Hope that helps!

Yes it does. The thing really works. It make it kinda fun. Of course clean up stinks but i love it.

Yes. Works fine just like every other one I've ever used. In the past I've experienced intermittent scrolling function with other "mice" and I was able to take them apart and clean gunk and debris from the mouse pad or surface that it was used on. This cleaning took care of the problem and extended the life of the mouse. I haven't tried it with the newer ones.

I think it does. It cleans everything. There is a page you can view that tells you the amount of time to leave the product on the surface that you are cleaning. Some stains one second, others one minute, and so forth.

No actually I think it has kept my brushes in better condition :) it makes the brushes' bristles stay in place during travel and also allows them to dry faster after every cleaning. Hope that helps!

No brush roller. There is a tiny rubber strip that acts as a scraper such as on a dust pan.

Carpet would imply that the brush works as it should. Never has. My fingers are bleeding from pressing the reset button and it still wont spin. Disassebled, cleaned (not much to clean as it doesn't have much suction) still no good.

It works better when you drive it to almost empty so that it stays concentrated, but if you have a car with good gas mileage chances are by the halfway mark, it most likely cleaned and did most of its job anyway. In my case I saw my MPG go up after about 2 fillups later, so it took a while.

Thanks for the question :) YES the brushroll can be removed. There are some screws that you take out at the bottom of the head and then it comes apart and you can remove the brushroll. At GreatVacs we are experts on vacuum cleaners and only sell the best vacuums. One of the tips that we give our customers for pet hair is even easier than that. If you go to Home Depot or Lowes and get a razor knife they sell hook blades for them. With the hook blade they work awesome at removing pet hair from brushes. I hope that was helpful :) Let us know if you need anything else. Thanks Dustin GreatVacs

Barbara, it absolutely does! Unlike others on the market, Therasage's product has and does what it says it has and does. Good Luck! Barbara

NO ! It works BEST when you have loose piles on top of the Grass that are only maybe about 2~3 inches high ~ It will pull up leaves from within the Grass Blades IF you adjust it for Maximum Depth (Sweeper Brushes scrape lower). IF you run it into small (4 ~ 6 inch high) piles of loose leaves, it'll remove some of the leaves each time you pass thru the Pile; then you just have to keep going thru the Leaf Pile until it picks up most of them. The unit needs some type of curved 'Shields' on either side of the Catcher Basket to stop the 20 ~30% of leaves from flying out the sides & missing the Basket ! < only real 'flaw'. NO !

I find this to work much better than the sticky paper roller. There is one direction for picking up lint, and then you reverse the "brush" on something else, like a cloth or upholstery and it releases all the lint. So don't try to do it back and forth. Check out the directions. I'm a fan.

I just read the previous comments and decided to elaborate on my response. Keep in mind this is a "duster" so I used it after sweeping to get the smaller stuff that sweeping leaves behind but bare feet find immediately. I also used it in between sweeping to pick up dirt hair and what not. It will not pick up big stuff, and the product description states that. I loved it because I could finally walk bare footed through my house without having stuff stuck to them! If the duster starts spinning in one place you need to open up the wheel housing to remove whatever is binding the axle. In my case, my long hair was wrapped around it. I was able to Google the instructions and it is an easy fix.

I have returned it. It did not work for me. It was neither a vacuum cleaner nor a floor cleaner.

It will clean up many of the normal wear and tear scratches, but if it's a deep scratch, it won't. How do you know if it will or won't? Only way is to attempt it. It's not that expensive and it definitely will clean and repair disks that have never been cleaned at all. That is why I would recommend it.

I have two of these. The spin brushes do not work on either. I did take one machine to a Hoover service place. They got the brushes to spin, but now they don't on that machine. This seems to be a weak spot on these machines. They clean nicely, but the brushes do help. Water does not move them, and I could not find the small screen one person is mentioning. I think there is a motor that turns them and the cause of failure is somewhere internal.

My experience is no. This cleaner did absolutely nothing to any of the dirt and very mild mildew in my shower and I followed directions and gave it multiple chances not just to work, but to do anything. I think most of the extremely positive reviews are phony.
