How effective is this at removing hair? My wife hair is everywhere. My oreck vacuum starts burning when I try to vacuum

The Bissell Swift Sweep carpet sweeper picks up just about everything, including hair. Since it doesn't have a motor, there would be nothing to burn.

The biggest problem with this and hair is that it gets caught around the brush rollers- it will pick it up but you will need to be prepared to yank it out of the brush rollers. You really cant beat a broom for picking up human hair on hard floor.

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.

I agree with Dom. I have not had a problem even though I had a lot of shedding to do before a long distance move. Since that busy time period, I have only needed to shed small amounts at a time. It has never gotten hot for me either. Great machine, very reliable.

It does a very good job removing hair. I was quite surprised. I have a handheld and upright Dyson and use this more than anything, though I use them all a lot, I like things quite tidy.

Oh, I agree with response regarding using Orek cleaners. They are much better than the store cleaners I previously tried.

I would definitely say this is good for pet hair. I don't have a dog but was dog sitting and hair got everywhere! Vacuum took care of it very nicely off of the rugs, carpet, wood floor and linoleum.

I think you should not let the hair dryer too close with your scalp, if not, it still burn and too hot for you , have to return and replace other one. I use the echim for my clients, i don't havevany problem as long as i keep a distance reasonable from their scalp.

I have read that some people use it to vacuum their rug or entire house. In that case it probably would. I only use it for pet hair on my furniture and have no problem. The filter around the motor gets clogged and would cause it to overheat and shut off. That's just basic for small motors.

I am very happy with my Braun epil-3. I have yet to find one that does not hurt so that is part of it but the longer you use it the less it hurts. It is not the pain one can not stand. So easy. Also...I am finding less hair with each use.

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.

The Oreck is excellent on carpet as well as ceramic tile and wood/laminate floors (they recommend using the lower speed for smooth surfaces but the roller brush has not been abrasive even at the higher speed; area rugs can be vacuumed at low speed without tangling); no attachments, so can't use on furniture. GREAT on pet hair!

I thought about it but, you'll have to clean out the filter after you vacuum because it will be fill with hairs and it's kinda hard to get the hair off the foam filter because it sticks to it even if the direction tells you to wash it but it's no problem.

Sorry I can't answer that.....you may need to call Oreck Customer Service or refer to your product booklet that came with the Vacuum.

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 think it works great for that... Better than a feather duster or swiffer duster... A little swipe and it sucks it right up... I use this on my little root 6 (the dyson handheld) and love it. Fast and easy and effective.

I got mine for Christmas, was somewhat skeptical!! AMAZING!!!!! I have all hardwood floors, some large area rugs, and 2 small dogs!!! My wood is mohagany so it is dark, would show dust under furniture. Now I am totally dust free everywhere on the floor, no animal hair at all! This things is amazing!!! I can never say enough about the effectiveness of this vacuum. Honestly, I never would have believed how great it is until I tried it myself! My home is a little over 2700 feet, all one floor, and this goes everywhere! It easily goes under furniture and transitions from the hard wood to the area rugs with no issues at all!

So far I have not had any problems with it, and I had the same problem with my Oreck. My hair is about 2 inches past the shoulders, and I shed like a dog.
