Are Dysons good for flea control? Does the Dyson remove fleas and flea eggs?

I have 6 indoor/outdoor cats in my house right now (I foster kitties) so trust me when I say, yes, it's GREAT for flea control! If it weren't for this vacuum, I would not be able to let the cats outside, or I'd probably have to flea bomb on a regular basis. Fleas never seem to be an issue, and it's great that you can easily empty the container into a plastic bag, right after you vacuum.

This is for flea control only. I did not find it effective. For flea and tick Frontline usually works.

I purchased the Linx in Nov. it has worked fairly well on dog/cat hair, and it is used daily. I use it on laminate and wood floors, but use my dyson on carpet. I had to take it in to have it repaired today. Issues with the lithium battery I think but talked with customer service today and they told me it is controlled (the on/off button) in the handle. Probably a loose screw. I was disappointed when it wouldn't stay on. I hope the problem is resolved. I like the ease of use, light weight, and thorough.

Yes, the Dyson can pick up long dog hair. The trick is to periodically clean the roller in the vacuum head. I sew a lot and threads often accumulate on the floor. The Dyson vacuums them up too. But sometimes the very long pieces wrap around the roller rather than going into the dirt bin. This brand of vacuum is the best I have ever had, it has extremely good suction. You will love it.

I have 2 large dogs so I have a lot of dog hair in my carpets. The Dyson does a good job of vacuuming the dog hairs. It also does a good job of removing dog fur from furniture fabric.

No. You do not need a Dyson vacuum for this. Any good vacuum will do. I recommend taking a brush and gently spreading the product into your carpet first. We have a scrub brush attached to a handle for this.

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

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.

Yes, it does. I have an Aussie and it does pick it up. HOWEVER, you have to stop every few minutes to clean the hair off the brushes and empty the collector. So I bought a cheap Eureka Pet vacuum cleaner and it's great of pulling the hair out of the carpet... which will help the Turbo Sweep... less hair. <g> BTW. I have a Berber, short nap carpet. So, if you don't have a double coated dog like an Aussie, Shepard, Huskie, etc, it should work fine for the price. Just know, you'll have to stop alot to clean out hair if you have a long haired dog or cat.

I have not tried the Dyson. I have hardwoods, pets, and large area rugs, I love the carpet attachment, and the brush crevice tool is nice for floor moldings. The filter is washable, which is nice, and the first thing to check if the suction is lacking. I do think it could have a tiny bit more suction, but I might feel that way regardless :D. On bare floors I definitely prefer the bare floor attachment, and I like the design of it. it does okay on pet hair, I think it clogs the filter a little quicker. I have a lightweight cordless I use for stairs....

Yes and we get big ones at the beach at night. Really works on fleas too. Kills them on contact. We walk our dogs near the sand and my dogs will pick up fleas. We spray them down before we go into the house. Also works on ants bees etc

Yes, the Dyson Home Cleaning Kit - like all the Dyson products - is high quality, and I have found it to work very well with the dc59 animal. I've been more than satisfied with its performance.

I have 2 Golden Retrievers, and 4 cats. The attachment that came with the pet version does a great job removing hair from furniture. It has no problem getting hair off the carpet. The canister does fill up quickly but so far I have saved a lot of money not buying vacuum bags. I used to have to clean the beater bar often with my old Hoover. For some reason this one doesn't get the hair tangled around it.

I really don't know. I used it in the Adirondack's so I know it's very effective for mosquito's and a variety of flies. I don't believe I was around fleas.

No I have not found fleas in mine, may want to check and see if you have a dog or black speck producing machine.

I don't know but I suspect that it does not kill the flea eggs or possible direct contact with the egg is required. It required several applications as the fleas came back several times but in smaller numbers each time.
