does dog hair wrap around beater brush? With dyson I had to cut off hair every few days

Labrador Retrievers use the Miele S7260 on a daily basis and never had any pet hair problems. I had a Dyson Animal and this was always a problem with the Dyson. I am sold on the Miele Cat and Dog.

You will have to cut hair off any beater brush after a while. Just use a seam ripper. One visit to a groomer per month will make your life easier.

I have rarely had to cut off anything around the beater bar. I can't even remember when I had to do it last and in the past 3 years, I can only remember twice having to clean it out. We have 10 dogs and most are in the house!

I can only answer this by saying that I have a Himalayan cat and I have slightly above shoulder length hair, my other cat is a domestic short hair. Given this situation I don't have problems with needing to cut the hair off the beater brush more than once a month or less and I vac approximately 2-3 times a week.

We have two dogs, two cats, and have never had to cut or remove hair from the beater bar. (We had this issue with the Dyson, just like you.) We've had our Miele for about a year. Hope this helps!

For the most part I like this vacuum very much, but I'm not sure I would recommend it for people who have long-haired double-coated dogs such as my two Shelties. Unfortunately the hair wraps around the brush roller and I find it necessary to take a seam ripper to clear the brush roller of the dog hair after every vacuuming. This process is somewhat tedious, and I usually end up with quite a pile of dog hair that didn't make it into the bag.

Yes! I like the ease of use. You just have to make sure you clean off the brush (it comes loose so you can free it up for easy cleaning) Mine gets full of hairs from the dogs, and mine and my daughters long hair)

No. It is a solid surface with a very minimal pattern. It wipes off easily with a towel. I have a golden retriever and I have not noticed the mat collecting any dog hair.

No. This is to remove lose hair and undercoat. All a brush does is move the hair around, this picks the hair up so you can dispose of it before it gets around. However, like a brush, dogs really like the way this feels, and my dog actually is happy when she sees me getting it out.

I have a dog that sheds quite a bit. I use my roomba on 6 rooms i only empty the bin when it docks.

I read one review from a long-haired woman who said that she had to cut her hair off of the beater bar regularly, but when she did, she had no trouble with belts breaking or loss of suction. I have long hair, and four daughters with long hair, so I can relate - and I can fix a vacuum to make it last way longer by changing out the belts and beater bar as needed as well as clearing any clog (sometimes they are hard to find). I think I'll try this vacuum since the beater bar replacements are less than 20 bucks =)

Thank you all for your answers. I ended up ordering one so hopefully my boxer will enjoy the experience of being groomed and the brush gets out lots of shedding fur. Thanks again for all the prompt and helpful responses!

I've never had to do this so I don't know. On other vacuums I've just taken a razor blade and cut the hair, I've got very long hair, that rapped around the roller brush.

I don't yave a dog right now but I might be getting one soon. I'll update then if I do. But I think it would do great because my friends hair was about 3-4 ft long and it picked hers up fantasticly. The only trouble I had was that after my whole apartment I had to cut some off the brush roller but not much and dog hair isn't as long as that. You probably will have to empty the canister more often than I do because the extra hair.

If you want to cut down on the shedding of hair all over your house, try brushing your dog once a day.

There is likely pet hair or the like that is obstructing the roller from rolling. Once you take care of that it should be fine. I do it about every third time I vacuum. I have two dogs shed profusely. Great vacuum.

No, a special attachment is not needed, but let me tell you this sweeper has no edger, so hair is not removed around the walls. This sweeper was a Hugh disappointment. I just purchased a Dyson animal & it's the ultimate in sweepers, it's outstanding!!!!

The color and the animal comes with two additional attachments: a Dyson Tangle Free Turbine and a Dyson Soft Dusting Brush. http://www.amazon.com/Dyson-Tangle-Free-Tool-Turbine/dp/B008SH85J0 http://www.amazon.com/Dyson-49-Soft-Dusting-Brush/dp/B000ANHPIW

Yes, but mine stopped working after a few months. If you really need a beater brush, this is not the vacuum to buy.

I use a lint brush and/or my Dyson Animal Hair removal machine. So I find it easy.

Sorry, I'm not a groomer. Just my own pets. Hope someone else gives you an answer.
