How does it do for pet hair on hardwood and is there a good attachment that works well for pet hair on furniture?

Great on hardwood but I found the hose itself to be terrible with minimal suction.

Hi Alicia, I find it works great getting pet hair and dander off tile and linoleum. I haven't had a chance to use it on hardwood, but I'm guessing it would work well on that surface, also. So far, the onboard brush has done everything I need it to do as far as cleaning upholstery, but I see Amazon sells Dyson tangle free brush if you have more challenges removing your pet hair than I do. The description doesn't specify that it's for the DC65, and I know Dyson's changed the diameter of their wands at least once over the years, so I'd double check before ordering, but here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Dyson-Tangle-Free-Tool-Turbine/dp/B008SH85J0/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1397841367&sr=8-2-fkmr0&keywords=dyson+dc65+attachments

Does well picking up pet hair since we do have 3 long haired dogs that stay inside.

It works great on hardwood floors I use it primarily for that. I have two Alaskan Malamutes and we have lots of fur all over the place. I love this Oreck because it lightweight and picks up all the hair without having to run it over the same place many times.

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.

Works very well on my carpet. You use it like you would use a rake. My carpet has a thick pile and doesn't get dirty but the pile can get pressed down from walking on it. Using the rake means less vacuuming for me. It would work well to pick up pet hair but I have no pets.

It does a pretty good job. My hardwood is in the kitchen, so there's a lot of dirtiness. I like using the vacuum to pick up all stuff that gets in the corners of my hardwood floors, and then do a swiffer/mop on top if it to truly clean.

I have the Roomba Discovery for Pets and it is awesome. I have a husky (need I say more) and two cats. My floors are hardwood, tile, carpet and rugs, it works great on all of them. After the big clean it has been just routine maintenance. I use it daily. It has never been overwhelmed by the hair even at the beginning.

there is no attachment it does not work well on pet hair it blows it all around. It does not work on furniture..For the price you pay it does nothing but frustrate and make extra work for busy people

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.

We have cats (and dogs), but we have the big Dyson (the one specifically for pets) to pick up the cat hair from the carpet. The hand held does great on picking up the fur that gathers in corners on the hardwood floor, and on the couch, but the couch is leather, so it vacuums right up. Not sure how it would do on a cloth-type of fabric, though.

The roomba works great on wood floors! You'll still have to mop from time to time, but it does a great job sweeping. I purchased mine a few months ago and am so happy with it!

In my experience, it works well for picking up pet hair from the hardwood and tile floors, and from the suede couch fabric...I tried it on my area rug out of curiosity and it didn't do very well. My biggest complaint, though, is in emptying the canister. You have to take the filter out and apart (the filter has 2 parts) to get the pet hair unstuck, and you have to use your fingers to get it out. I actually might return this dust buster because of this. I'm really disappointed, because I LOVE everything else about it except the emptying part with the pet hair.

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 don't have hardwood floors but I do have one room with a laminate wood floor and it does fine on that. It does not have a brush bar which is what I think harms hardwood floors. It does great on my tile floors and I have two cats. Attachments work well on upholstery. You probably won't need an attachment for the stairs but they should work if you do. Vacuum is very light weight and has good suction - just not good for carpet because of the lack of that brush bar.

I have a combo of w/w carpet, hardwood floors, and tile. I use the floor brush attachment for the hardwood floors and tile. It works great! I also have the dog hair issue; not a problem.

Our dustbuster does a very good job picking up dirt and pet hair off our hard wood floors. As far as our couches and rugs go, it lacks the power needed for the pet hair .removal

I would be very careful, maybe try it in a hidden spot first. I think it would depend on the fabric on the upholstery. On the carpet use a broom that's designed to remove pet hair, it has rubbery bristles, then I use the carpet rake to get down in the fibers and pull up the hair the broom didn't get, then I vacuum. Depending on the weave this could pull fibers on upholstery and there are many other pet hair devices that would be better to use on furniture.
