My cats make a HUGE mess getting in and out of the litterbox, any thoughts on how well this would do picking up cat litter on a hardwood floor?

The vacuum has a small container for the dirt. This may not stand up to your cat's mess. It works well for cleaning my carpet and hardwood floors but we have a small apartment. It is not a great expense, though. Perhaps, you should try it.

I lived near a construction site for a year and ended up with dust everywhere on my tile floor. It picked that up beautifully, even off the grout. Should pick up cat litter no problem.

I use mine for the same job almost every day. Our cat makes a mess in the laundry room with litter and fur. The vacuum does a great job on both on the hard floor and the throw rugs.

hi brooke, i would think that the vacuum will do the job with its powerful brush, but the capacity is fairly small, may be a little more than a large cup. you can not go wrong with it, being it is so cheap.

Very well! I was shocked. The first one I tried was a Dirt Devil and it wasn't able to pick up cat litter at all. THIS one, however, this lovely Eureka has been perfect. It easily picks up all the cat litter (mine is normal Tidy Cats 24/7) and even sucks it out of the rugs in my bathroom, as well as the carpet outside the bathroom door. Even without the brush part on!

It will work very well for a while. I have the cordless version of this that I dedicated for litter box area cleanup. It recently died -- motor developed a grinding noise (probably bearings) and the battery would no longer hold a charge. I dismantled it and the motor was covered/caked/encased in litter dust that always gets through the filter a little at a time - regardless of how well you keep the filter cleaned. I just bought this corded version (gold box deal) which will, at least, give good service for a few years. We live in the disposable age, after all.

It will not protect the floor. I'm trying to decide if I should send mine back, because it works well for catching the litter, but my cat has decided to use his box for pooping only, and has been peeing on the mat. I've tried cleaning it, even spraying it down with vinegar, because vinegar is supposed to be an odor eliminator, but it's not helping. I have afolded towel under the mat for now, so that my wood floor doesn't get ruined. Not happy at all.

I would say yes since it does pick up cat litter from an indoor carpet too. Hope this helps you out and I hope it does the trick. It is a very nice carpet sweeper for the money.

This attachment has a lot of power and the brush rotates so it should do well in picking up cat hair. My concern would be in corners, etc. but you could use the crevice attachment for that.

I have a cat and this sweeper does a great job cleaning cat hair. It also does a great job cleaning up cat litter carried on to carper areas. Does a remarkable job on bare floors does not blow everything around like most uprights, it picks everything up.

Does a great job picking up cat litter! You will be amazed how clean the floors end up :)

I use Tidy Cats light weight clumping litter and it works wonderfully with this litter box. I no longer dread cleaning it.

Yes and depending how much litter you have inside and whether or not your cat is a litter flinger, it's pretty easy for them to kick litter out. I combat this by having a litter track mat under the step and regularly vacuum the step.

Yes, it does pick up cat litter, however, if the litter is anywhere near hardwood floors, I would be careful. Sometimes the litter can get stuck and cause a scratch. Doesn't happen often but it has happened to me a couple of times. Its not terribly loud but you can't comfortably watch TV with it running in the same room, unless you jack up the volume - at least not while it is on hardwood. It is more quiet on carpet. I usually just run it while I am not home or while I am doing other things and it doesn't bother me.

The Hoover does pick up cat hair (very well indeed from my carpets and bare floors). Does pick up the little kibble cat food (dry) from my kitchen floor. Haven't tried it on cat litter but assume it would do the job. Great little vacumn.

Not very well at all. It's mostly a hard flooring sweeper. I really like mine for that purpose but when it gets to my large area rug it has a hard time and you can tell it's working extra hard and still not picking up all that much.

I bought this in part to deal with cat litter. It does pick up litter if it is scattered in the middle of the floor, but you can't really use it to get around the edges of the box, where most of the litter seems to collect in my house. I tried it on clumping corn and clay.

It won't to be honest. Our cats tend to jump out (sending litter flying as they do), though even when they step out they carry a lot. Also, due to the narrow opening and little of any airflow in the Litter Robot, the waste regularly stays quite moist rather than drying some during the delay between cat use and cycle rotation, so that contributes when they step in small moist or sticky particles that didn't get disposed into the drawer (or if the same or another cat entered again before it cycled which does happen). This unit is overpriced for the many issues that still need attention. Markedly the airflow and operation issues (litter that is moist gets stuck and jammed in the doors).

I haven't tried that--I don't have a cat, but I would guess that it would pick up cat litter. It picks up pretty well.

It picks up everything well. Just make sure you don't turn it off right after to sweep up the litter. Let it suck it up for a few minutes, I have Maine Coon and he does kick it out everywhere. And as a side know it does pet hair really well also.

We have a cat with its litter robot (love that system) in the bathroom. I sweep areas where Rosie (Roomba) can't reach. Then I switch her on and shot the door. Minka our cat watches under the door as Rosie picks up all debris and litter. Does Rosie do a perfect job? No. Does she clean up 99%? Yes. Rosie has no issue picking up litter but if you have litter trap mat or mats some litter could get wedged between the floor and mat. She does a really good job. Combined with a periodic steam clean of the linolium it works great. She also pulls it out of carpet should your cat track some further into your house. Hope that helps!
