It works great on carpet. Long hair, no problem. Gets wound around the brush, easy enough to clean. I use it on tables (think plants) and my couch. Works great!

It picks up hair but it ALL remains on the brush. After using the vacuum the first time I was dismayed to see how much hair entangled the roller. When I opened the dust cup to see how much was in there, I was amazed. There was NONE. Literally, not a single hair. I would stay away if your goal is to clean up after a pet that sheds.

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.

I have two very small area rugs, and it picks up cat hair from them very well. It's a very low pile (I think that's the term), and I suspect that would be key. It also picks up hair from my upholstered chairs like a champ.

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!

I don't have pet hair in my carpet, but I can tell you it removes a lot of fuzz like particles from my carpet. For being a light weight vacuum, I think it has great suction. I can see the action as the container that hold the dust, dirt particles is visible when I am vacuum. I can see the compartment fill. I have look at the particles and it is amazing how deep this vacuum can suck up the dust and dirt. I highly recommend this vacuum. Virginia

No it does not. This vacuum does a great job on area rugs, it is pretty powerful, but I wouldnt use it for a whole house carpeted floors.

We have 2 small dogs and a cat and we were pleasantly surprised that the steamvac picked up the hair, however we did vacuum before steamcleaning. We did have to go over the carpet a few times to get it all up..but it does have great sucking action.

does an excelllant job pushing hair into pile-YOU have to pick it up! Seriously, I love this little thing, picks up just like a DYson-but again, you have to pick the pile up!

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.

No. Don't buy this machine. It does not pick up strings, lint and hair from a carpet. Not worth the money. It will not work with a shag carpet.

It really doesn't. I have pile carpet. Tried to get cat hair. Had to really use a lot of muscle and it got only a little. Finally gave it to Goodwill. Vacuum worked better. Would work ok on tile or wood floor. Lot of effort for subpar return.

It does a very good job picking up pet hair on floors and rugs in upright mode. The power hand tool does a good job on upholstery, but it takes some practice and more than one pass with my cat's hair. Make sure to clean the dirt cup and the cyclonic filter regularly though.

Yes, but no better than a rubber glove on carpet, which picks up just as much hair.

Oh my gosh, yes ! This gets EVERYTHING up off any surface ...great to do just before vacuuming. Unless the hair is from hairballs and has been wet..If it's embedded hair that had moisture...not sure...probably would with vigorous movement. If it's just dry hair, it will pick it up. It's an amazing product.

The Rug Rake does load up quite quickly, but it does a great job of picking up cat hair from a carpet. It's hard to remove the hair from the rake with your fingers, but I use a smaller soft wire brush like the "JW Pet Company GripSoft Cat Slicker Brush" or the "Oster Clean and Healthy Cat Slicker Brush" to remove the hair. Then it's quite easy to remove the hair from the smaller brush.

Yes if the carpet is smooth. I do not use it for my carpets as I find it does not pickup as well as my regular vacuum cleaner

No, not really. You have to really work to get it to pick up stuff off carpet. Kills my back. My Wal-Mart "cheapy" works just as well if not better.
