how does it work on hardwood floors with lots of dog hair?

I have hard wood floors it sucks up all the dirt very well and it you engage the brush roller it helps enormously. I don't have a dog but I am sure it would work very well, overall it is a great vacuum cleaner for the price. I use my sister's Dyson when I am home in Australia and frankly I think the Hoover is as good -but better value!

I used mine on hardwood floor and it worked fine. You have the choice to have the roller brush on or off and off works best at times. I see no adjustment for height, but so far all was good with the fixed setting. My son's Boxer dog has little loose hair so I am not the best to give you your answer.

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!

I can't really address the hardwood or cat hair question since I don't have either. But, I have 3 dogs, carpet, & vinyl flooring and this vacuum is the best I've ever used! I had a Hoover Wind Tunnel for years and loved it. When it finally gave out I got this one and love it more!

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.

No. I have Carpet, Wood, Laminate and Stone floors and my Dyson DC50 Animal works like magic on every one. I also have 3 dogs that leave hair all over the place! I absolutely Love this product!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately I don't have hardwood floors. I have tile floors and it picks up everything, hair, dust, and the smallest speck the eye can see. I just love it!

It works well on my hardwood floors. Gets up all the dirt. Only issue I have with it is it's not very effective in getting dirt and dust out of the corners. I have I use another broom or vacuum. Otherwise it's great. FYI I have a lot to sweep; I have four boys and a siberian husky so I use it daily.

It is wonderful on carpet, it picks up absolutely everything and there won't be a dog hair left. I swear by this vacuum. You won't regret it.

Yes, I'm happy with it. Two things: 1. I do sweep out the corners into the path of Neato, and; 2. It's really LOUD on hardwood floors. In my 1800 sq. ft condo, I need to empty it once or twice each time it runs and it gets trapped between my bar stools, so I have to pull them out while it runs. I don't currently have a pet so I can't tell you about dog or cat hair, but it picks up mine!!

It also works good on hardwood floors. You just have to take your time and there is less dust in the air.

It is safe on Hardwood floors. I have all hardwood floors and two big shedding dogs. The Neato saves me from having hair bunnies everywhere.

I have a giant husky/shepherd mix and stairs. For hard floors, I would suggest one of the hard floor accessories (sold separately). The power head works on hard floors, but its made for carpet. The best part about this for stairs is the retractable cord. I plug it in at the bottom, and then work from the top down, retracting the cord as I go and I don't worry about tripping on a tangled mess. For hair in general, this vacuum has no 90deg angles for long dog hair ball up and clog. I used to clog a bagless upright every time I used it. I haven't had a single clog with this.

no,it works great on hard floors but only fair on carpets.I have a dog so I use a different vac that has the brush to get any pet hair

It works well. There is a sweeper brush and it picks up pet hair by rolling. The hair gets swept into the vac. I use mine on laminate floors and see no problem. I really like as it is not heavy and does a great job. It does not scrape the floor. So I would say it will not hurt the floors

Mr. Cook I can promise you, the Dyson DC39 Animal Canister vacuum will handle any cleaning job. I can't speak about a long shag carpet, as I have a short shag, but I couldn't believe how strong it was. I have a short haired dog about the size of a Jack Russel, who sheds hair like you would not believe. Within a day, after vacuuming on the hard surface part of my house, I have balls of fur as big as a tennis ball all around the edges of the hall, and close to the edge of the couch. I just got my DC39 on 5/10/12, but I am one happy camper, I can tell you. The carpet in the bed room was just washed with an expensive carpet shampoo machine that I bought a while back. The shampoo machine pulled a ton of hair out of the carpet even after I had vacuumed it just before running the shampoo on it. I had just shampooed it again just a couple of days before the DC39 came in. The amount of fur that it pulled out of that supposedly sparking clean carpet, was astounding. Also in the same room I have a big king size bed that the regular vacuum couldn't get under. After looking at the amount of hair from the rest of the room, and emptying the canister, I thought about pushing the suction head under the bed as it is flat as a pancake, and can get under nearly everything. Again it filled the canister up. The handle has a button on it the lets you stop the brush from turning when you are on a hard surface. I suppose that's to make the brush last and not wear out on the hard floor. The brush turned so fast on the short shag that you could feel the vibration of it really strong as you worked with it. The head is almost weightless, but it makes the carpet stand up as though it has a lot more weight to it. I recommend it to anyone. Good luck.

We're in the same position. Hardwood floors with two Newfoundlands. All of the pet hair vacuum's I've seen see to be upright while all hardwood floor vacuum recommendations are canister. Does anyone marry the two into one?

Dear James,I don't have a dog, but I find that it is able to pick up cat hair on wood floors easily - I have two cats, one with short fine hair and one with longer coarse hair and it never seems to miss any of the shed hairs. The Braava also does a final sweep around the edges of the room after it has done the main job which picks up any of the stray hairs that always seem to accumulate near the baseboards and in the corners. I assume it would also work well picking up Golden Retriever hairs (such beautiful and friendly dogs!) Hope this helps.
