Any pet owners out there...how bad does it collect cat/dog hair? I heard microfiber is the best to deal with pet hair.

it would depend on the dog/cat. We have a min schnauzer and they don't shed much. We have no problem with pet hair with the comforter

I have two Rottweilers and a Doberman. It has not collected hair as bad as others and the rotties really shed

I am a pet owner for sure...5 dogs, 9 cats, a couple of the cats and a 2-3 of the dogs will get in bed often. It sheds the hair well, and washes out clean...I would say it does deal with pet hair very well...one of our dogs is a chow shepherd mix and sheds a lot...the others are beagles who don't shed a lot...one of the beagles loves to sleep with us, and she likes to dig a spot before she lays down...the microfiber stands up well to that also. I must say that overall, I am really happy with this comforter, and the real authority, my wife, was skeptical when I bought it, but has remarked several times what a great comforter it is, especially given what we paid for it. Stands up to frequent washing too...and we were skeptical about its warmth in the winter, but found it to be sufficient (we live in Indiana...didn't have a real bad winter last year). Overall a very good product...

My long hair white dog leaves a lot of hair on it. No worse or better than any other bed spread I've had though.

We do not have a cat so don't know if it will pick up cat hair. We did have a Lab with a heavy coat and it did a good job as long as you vacumn before you use the rug shampoo. We do not have a cat so cannot answer the part of the question re cat hair. We did have a Black Lab with a heavy undercoat and the cleaner did a good job as long as you vacumn before you use this machine. We were actually pleasantly surprised as to how well it cleaned our rug which is a light colored Berber.

I have a cat and a dog with long hair. I have had no problems with this picking up the hair or litter, but hair does build up on the red piece in the center of the cartridge. You will need to regularly clean this piece off for optimal performance.

I don't have pets, but i sure have enough of my own hair that i shed :((I would say YES this small little vac will do the job of pet hairs. it is a strong suction.. hope this helps.

Yes, unfortunately it does collect pet hairs. Our daughter's cat loves to get up on our bed, and it takes me a while get rid of the hair by using a giant lint roller.

I have no pets now,however; I taught my cats and a cocker spaniel to let me vacuum THEM. Scared at first, but then they loved it (especially during the high- shedding time of the year). I lost these pets long before I got the air machine. I would say that you could just use a hand held vac up to the front cover of it to clean it off. The filters are inside the box and should no be affected by the hair. I hope this helps

I don't have a cat but from my experience the best solution for pet hair is a moving brush, which does not come with the DC58. The vacuum is quite powerful but as you know, pet hair is stubborn. If you add the rotating brush ("Dyason Tangle Free Turbine" - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008SH85J0) my guess would be that it would do quite well on cat hair.

I don't have pets, but it does tend to attract some dust/hair. I could see it attracting a fair amount of pet hair.

I find that the Roomba 630 does a better job of picking up dog hair. I have three small terriers that shed and will sometimes run my Roomba 2x a day and each time the compartment is full of hair and small pieces of dirt/dog food. The Roomba is a MUST for any pet owner. I don't know how I survived without it. I have wood floors and it runs for about 1 hour to clean the whole bottom floor. Afterwards I walk around Barefoot without anything on my feet.

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.

My wife and I have three dogs, two with long hair, and a cat. After a ton of research, I decided to spend the money on the Cat and Dog, because of the amount of pet hair we have to deal with. If we would not have had pet hair to deal with, the Miele Twist probably would have fit the bill very nicely. The Miele Cat and Dog seems to deal with pet hair much better than any other vacuum we've tried. For what it's worth, the Miele has been worth every penny we spent on it.

I don't have any pets; The swivel sweeper picks up lint and dust from my cheap carpet. If the cat hair is short, I suppose this machine wouldn't have any problems picking them up.

We mainly use it for cat liter and dog and cat hair works well...we live in a small place... Works we just to clean up quick. It picks up most of everything. Charged battery and it works well...

Yes, it picks up cat hair very well (I have 2 long hair cats). The only down side is that I have to clean out the brush and the vacuum cup often. I think it's worth it because it makes easy work of doing fast daily clean-ups.

I have 2 cats and a dog but most of what is picked up is dirt and carpet fibers. I don't think you'd have any problems, it's a really good vacuum in my opinion.

We have 3 long haired cats and as of about a month or so ago... this vacuum. We love it!!! Picks up cat hair with no problem - both with the upright mode and with the hand held attachment. Just watch the levels on the canisters and empty them often... it fills up quickly... but that just shows me how well this thing works!

Let me put it this way, my hair is down to my ...you know...and It picks it up. It gets wound around the roller brush because it is so long but it is simple to remove. When I vacuum my carpet and I pull out the filter to empty out what it picked up...I am amazed at how much pet hair was on the filter and it pulls off in one piece. I am so happy I bought the Eureka Easy Clean so I don't have to pull out the big vacuum anymore when I want to vacuum while the pets are shedding this time of year. Please keep in mind that I have a regular carpet, not shag, so I don't know how it works on that but I bet it would work just fine on that too!
