Does anybody have the problem of the pet hair not staying on the brush after each stroke. With mine, the hair falls off onto my cat after each stroke.

I am guessing that cat hair is to fine for the comb. It is more for a dog. A Flea Comb (for cats) would be better for your cat. I use that for my cats.

It's not designed to collect hair like a traditional brush. It's just supposed to cut the undercoat and pull it away. I always brush my dogs outside or in the garage because the hair goes flying everywhere.

No I have no problem. I have also tried other combs and I have found this one is working the best fir my furry friends.

I only use mine twice a week. The softness of the bristles and the glove design make this a great product for cats like yours. I have a 6 month old maine coon kitten and she loves to be groomed by this. As far as for hairball prevention, I really do not know. My cat does not really have that problem. All I can say is give it a try and see if it works. If anything it would give you the excuse to give your cat attention while also grooming it.

I don't see this problem, but I don't have wall to wall carpeting, just large area rugs (although some are rather thick it still works well on those). I also never had problems with it clogging or losing suction - but since it does do a good job, I do have to empty it more often, especially since it's small. I think once my brush stopped because it was wrapped in hair (I have long hair) and once I removed it, it was fine. So I make sure to periodically check the brush for anything wrapped around it (hair, string, etc.)

I have two cats that shed a fair amount. The pet hair makes it so you have to clean it out a lot more frequently but it takes care of it pretty well for me.

I've personally had a problem with my cat (who used to tip over her water dish) playing with the water ejected from this fountain, as well. She'll stick her head under the stream, physically hit the water, etc., which gets water everywhere. We have two different styles (this and the original), and she doesn't play in the original. I think it's because the water stream created by the original protrudes from the unit less, which prevents her from dunking her noggin in it.

I have a cat and she has a lot of hair. You find her hair on the furniture, the beds, the floor...all over the house. This has worked great for picking up her hair. The only thing is that the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser´s charge doesn´t last long. You have to charge it every 15 minutes. I am very happy with it.

On my ProHeat Pet the brushes stop when the handle is locked upright, I presume so you don't park it and wear a hole in the carpet. Once you lower the handle to start cleaning again they start spinning again.

I have had no problems like that with my windtunnel. I have 2 pomeranians and 2 cats, one a long haired.

You may have gotten a bad one. I have used mine for months with no problem. Be sure that the brush is on the handle properly. If it isn't on nice and tight it could cause the mechanism inside to wear out too soon.

I've had no issues with my long-haired cats. I have a male who has fought his through and gotten off property. However, the battery must've been low, because he doesn't try when I replace the battery.

I had mine for over 2 yrs now and started to have issues with the motor. So I need to send it again and they will fix it and send it back. All I can say is that, the product works and its the best thing out there. Second, I love the customer service. They are super helpful and actually care for their customers instead of just making money. So I def recommend to get it and try it out. Your cats will love you! I am going to send mine in this weekend to get it fix and once I get it back, I will update you! Best of luck!

Hi Theresa...I bought this for my daughter (who also has 2 cats) but she hasn't used it just yet. I hope it doesn't attract a lot of hair!!! She won't be using it until she moves at the end of May, so I'm afraid I won't have an answer to that question until then :(

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.

How funny! While I was trying to figure it out I turned it over and all the catnip fell out. Put in more catnip and nowmy cat is playing with it! Also wasn't blond, but my hairdresser had lightened my hair to the point that it may be causing this.

You will probably want to use it very lightly at first, not try to actually pull hair out. Once she is used to it, she will probably be comfortable with firm brushing. I think it feels like a massage for cats if you do it correctly.

I have the same problem. It's very annoying. Only thing I can think of is to tape it but then it would be a pain when you need to put the brush attachment on. Poorly designed.

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!
