How do the Dyson's manage human hair? I have long hair and have found it gets stuck in my current vacuum (a Kenmore) &amp; removing is nearly impossible.

long hair does not seem to get stuck in the bristles or get wrapped around the head when the vacuum is used on hard wood floors or tile, probably because the head is not spinning. I imagine it would if you have a lot of carpet. I have lots of pets, long hair, and primarily hard wood floors, and highly recommend the vacuum....it works great!

I am having the same problem, the attachments, once on the hose do a great job, but is such a pain! The hose is too short to be effective, and the "wand" is cumbersome. My only complaint about this vacuum.

I have a long haired dog and did not realize, until after I bought the vac, that this particular Miele is not recommended for dog hair. It does pick up the hair, but but when I use the turbo head, I have to cut the hair out of the rotating brush. Also, the power cord is not very long and the turbo head is not very wide, so it is not good for large rooms. It does have very good suction!

The biggest problem with this and hair is that it gets caught around the brush rollers- it will pick it up but you will need to be prepared to yank it out of the brush rollers. You really cant beat a broom for picking up human hair on hard floor.

NOT AT ALL FOR DOG HAIR ON CARPET!!! We already had a Dyson and it works great but I wanted this one for the stairs and other places it's difficult to use the larger one. I used it on the living room carpet and could still see stuff so I went over with the larger Dyson and there was more stuff in that canister and this was AFTER I vacuumed with the DC23. I do believe in the Dyson product but this one is not a value. We do have three dogs but it wouldn't matter if I only had one small dog. This vacuum doesn't have the suction or maybe it's the contact with the floor (I think the floor head is flimsy) to really pick up stuff on carpet or rugs. I hope that helped.

Loose hair should be picked up easily by the main vacuum. There is a special attachment for the hose that is a type of rubber scrapper that helps dislodge hair from fabric.

Just a quick note - I have this Electrolux, hard wood floors, and a dog. I also have the Dyson "animal". I am STILL looking for a solution as neither of these do the job in spite of the expense and hype! If anyone out there has found a real solution - please share!

The Dyson Tangle-free Turbine tool truly does work as promised. It really is easy to remove the hair from it and it doesn't tangle. It says "Compatible with DC21 onwards, excluding DC24 and cordless." They do sell an adapter which according to ebay works on the DC 35. It's about $15. I imagine you could duct tape it too. You just need good suction as it works with air flow-no electric connection needed.

There's a height setting on the Dyson that allows you to vacuum both carpets and hard floor without changing height or making any other necessary adjustment. The suction from themotor is strong enough to work both flooring materials with equal success. I run my Dyson across all kinds of flooring material, and never make the slightest height adjustment.It's that good a machine.

Haven't tried long human hair. It will likely tangle in the revolving brush just like any other vacuum.

I honestly do not know, but maybe check on the dyson site. Maybe there is a place to contact them on that.

The Dyson DC33 would work great for you. I also have varying surfaces in my home and long hair. The vacuum sucks up all kinds of hair and debris on all kinds of surfaces. Had it for a couple of months and I love it

does an excelllant job pushing hair into pile-YOU have to pick it up! Seriously, I love this little thing, picks up just like a DYson-but again, you have to pick the pile up!

Sorry, I don't own this particular model. However, if you have very long hair the teeth do tend to make hair get stuck (mine did). I do have a model similar. Hope it helped.

The hair has to come out somewhere, like a vacuum cleaner it has to be collected into a bag and them thrown out. Well the unit I bought has a paper filter to protect the vacuum cleaner from being clogged by the hair. Where is all that 13 years of hair gone?
