It picks up dog hair great! It maneuvers so well. I have a rug on top of medium shag carpet and it goes well from one to the other I also have tile and I just turn off the brush and vacuum the tile. I have a bad back and this vacuum is lightweight too!

Hi Vincent:The vacuum self adjusts between rug and hardwood. As far as it being able to pick up dog fur it should. You might want to contact the Dyson Co. and ask them. I am on my second Dyson. My last one lasted over 10 years. It is a great product. I have had other brands in the past. This has lasted the longest and out performed the others.

Yes it does they are an awesome vacuum. It picks up lng hair also. Our dogs short hair, but we have family have big dogs long hair and they used there vacuum and then used the Dyson and picked up we couldn't believe how much more it pulled out of the carpet.

VERY good! While the house is "standard" carpet, I have a hallway runner and an entry way runner that are of the oriental-type. And, I have two large dogs. The dog hair is no challenge! That said, I usually have to 'toe stand' on the ends to keep them from sucking upward. Believe me, I have run this vac through Hades and back - and it is still going strong!

I have hard wood with 2 large rugs and a dog,the roomba cleans the hard wood and transitions to rugs easily. I have not vacuumed the rugs once and there is no loose dog hair on my hardwoods!

This vacuum cleaner works reat on picking up my dog's hair. On hardwoord floors, I turn off the brush and strictly use the suction. The brush is off so it does not scratch the floor from repeated use. The small rotating brush that comes ith the unit works great on furniture. I have no regrets buying this unit.

It does not work well on carpet, only hardwood floors. We don't have a pet but I would guess that it would not pick up pet hair on carpet.

It really depends on how thick of a carpet it is. I have one large area rug that is very thick and it won't move very well. My other is a short nap and it does a great job. Just remember you MUST empty the refuse basket and clean the brushes often if you have a lot of hair. And like I have said before this does not preclude you from using your other vac now and again. Mine does a great job picking up hair, dirt and dust.

I have a labrador retriever, very large and he sheds quite a bit....it picks up every bit of dog hair. I do have to clean the spinning brushes every 2 or three times I run the rumba...takes less than 2 minutes. I rarely use my regular vacuum ever....picks up dust and dirt that he drags in from the yard, too...best pet investment I ever made!

I shed A TON of hair...I am very similar to a dog! I was surprised with how well this lightweight vacuum was able to pick up my hair. So yes, it does definitely pick up hair from carpets.

Yes, I have a thick rug and it works great. It picks up what is on top and about 1 inch under the pile. It is not a vacuum. Can get a lot of dog hair.

I have a large black lab and a 30# black short haired dog that sheds about the same as the lab. If you have hardwood floors you'll see an immediate difference. I rarely get out a traditional vacuum anymore. Just make sure you empty the trash bin every day and check on the rollers a couple times a week. Instant bliss.

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.

It works great on hardwood floors, but doesn't have the power for carpet, I am still trying to find a vac that picks up pet hair and dirt from carpet that doesn't weigh a ton!! Have a bad back, if you find one please let me know!!

This is a great vacuum if you have tile or hard wood floors. If you have carpets or rugs, look into getting an upright with a roll brush. It picks up everything in it's area. I love mine but only have a few area rugs. Hope this helps.

I have a dog that sheds and usually lays on the area rugs. It does a good job picking up the dog hair. I don't use it on my wood floors, but don't know why it wouldn't pick up.

I like it for my wood floors but don't like it for carpets. I have a lot of dog hair and it is very difficult to get most of it up. (I can't get it all) My sister has a Miele which cost about $1,200 but it works wonderfully on wood floors and carpets.
