will it pick up salt? I live in the north east and in winter we get a lot of salt on the carpets. Very hard to pick up.

well I've never tried salt but it picks up kitty litter. It doesn't do well on floors, only carpet. On floors, the beater brush goes so fast that it kicks the dirt out the back. I bought the attachments so I can vacuum my floors. I love this vacuum. It picks up kitty hair too.

I live in Florida, but in real warm humid weather, the AC is always on. I use the fine ground Celtic Sea Salt in my salt shaker, but I need to "bang" it on my hand to get it moving! I don't fill it completely full since it is not a sealed shaker. The nutrients would probably be more effective if it were sealed. I don't have a problem with the top getting clogged up.

Mine doesnt pick up anything. And, when I tried to contact them about immediate return (several times) they ignored me. Hope that answere your question. Unfortunately I still have mine in the bos :-(

Hi Steve. I live in a coastal community on the Gulf of Mexico, so I've never seen, or had a use for a bag of salt. I guess it would depend on the size of the bag.I use it for charcoal and it will hold a 20lb bag of lump, perfectly.

Works great. You should use outside though because you'll be adding salt/ice during the churningy. I just use "well" salt since ~$6 for 40 lb bag as opposed to $4 for a 2 lb bag of "ice cream salt". Normal amount of noise....not noisy but does make the sound of churning a metal container through salt/ice mix. No problems with product.

I love it, I bought a new SUV and I use it all the time to keep it clean, I live near the beach and have sand all the time. It has no problem picking up the sand or anything else. I would buy it again. Hope it helps.

Empty out the salt and wash it out thouroughly, during the hot months the salt will get moist and not grind thru, best to just use a regular saltshaker with dried rice mixed in with the salt to absorb moisture and yu never have that problem

You grinder should be able to grind your salt but it's tough to grind...I have my husband do it for me. :)

I cannot answer that; I don't have a cat. It does pick up small bits of mud, dog food, and sidewalk salt.

Absolutely - that's why I bought it. However, this salt is harder than most so it takes a bit more of an effort to grind it but it's definitely worth it.

I use it only for applying salt in the winter. I find that a little maintenance goes a long way, such as cleaning the spreader with water and occasionally putting some oil in the cable housing (at both ends) to keep the cable moving freely.

With my experience it will suck up the dirt.The suction seems to be powerful but it also depends on the size of your pump. I have a larger pump so it has powerful suction. If there are any larger pieces like very small rocks it might not get that (it might just push them out of the way) but as long as it is sand or dusty type dirt it should eventually get it all.

Yes I did blow snow with it. It worked fine on the light dust. Not so much on the wetter stuff. I still applied salt to make sure I didn't slip.

This works much better. I like to use a broom to pick the heave stuff. Like if i haven't cleaned in two wks.Than I clean with Bona, than I use the duster. The duster would pick it all up even if you didn't use the broom though.

Yes, it would pick it up, but I wonder if the wet stuff would clog up the little brush roller and necessitate removing it and washing it. Better just get down on the floor with some paper towels. OTHER THAN THAT this little sweeper is wonderful for pet hair, dry crumbs and most other stuff. Both on hard floors and carpets. The best friend you will ever have as your kids grow up!!! Mine is 25 years old--the sweeper not the kid.

I have been using it. The air gets blown up from underneath so nothing to really gunk up with the salt. I found it actually works great with it.

Giant bags of salt are heavy... and that's all I can think of. We've had ours for 6 months or so, and it's done wonderfully with very little maintenance or need for additional salt, etc. After our first week figuring out how long it needs to run, checking levels, etc... it's been set and forget. Every subsequent water test has been perfect. I did ask our tech if there were any issue with salinity... He said his only concern would be generating too much chlorine. Once you adjust the run time to suit your needs, that shouldn't be a problem.
