Hi! I have 3 pets & an old house. So I have a lot of fur & dust. Will this do the job? How long of a warranty? How long before I can send it back?

I do not have a dust problem. So I will not be able to answer that portion of your question. As for the dogs and people hair.(A house of 4 women with long hair,with 2 dogs. It picks it all up and does a great job.

This is a great unit for quick pickups on hard floors or carpet! It should have no problem with dust and fur and comes with a one year warranty.

This is a light duty vacuum, my wife uses it in the kitchen and two hardwood floors and loves it. No sure how well it would wrk on carpet although it does have a brush roll. We don't have any pets.

I like to think of it as a mess cleaner -- litter, hair, a spilled plant... but it is great for fur and dust. The filter on the inside catches hair very well and it's easy to detach the hand held vacuum to sweep up fur off furniture. I'm not sure about the warranty, but this will do the job for messes and pet hair. It really isn't meant to replace an actual vacuum cleaner, but it's pretty darn close in my house!

Not sure on warranty. But love mine. U won't need to return. Great for quick pick ups. I use in kitchen and bedrooms wood floors. Love it. Have a big dog too.

I am sure at some point the filter will need to be replaced, I have had my dust collector for about 18 months and it still works great. I clean the filter nearly every day (crank the handle that is attached to the top of the unit). I have been a little afraid to look at the replacement cost (putting my head in the sand so to speak). I looked before I bought the unit and I remember it was expensive but now after 18 months I am not sure I would want to live without the unit so the price of the filter has become a necessary expense when the time comes. PS; as well as the dust collector works you will also need an air filtration unit to clean up the dust you breathe. My shop is much cleaner since I added the air filtration machine (I used to have a fine layer of dust on everything) and I am sure my lungs are happier. I would like to tell you that the dust collector is more important than the air filtration unit but to be honest the need is to have both machines is equal. Sorry to attack your pocket book but you really do need both units.

I only have a short haired dog and it de-sheds a lot of her hair... have to do it a couple times a week, not FurMaster's fault... just the dog.

It only comes with two attachments, one is a smaller more narrow header that helps in getting into cracks, and one is the pet hair remover. I'm sure it will help remove dust from some things but you would need a duster to really help.

I watch it and replace it when it gets dirty before two or three months. I tried hosing one off to clean it and reuse it after it dried, but was not happy with the results. Our home was built in 1915, we have two dogs and a cat therefore, although the system is only four years old we allow for extra dirt and dust. Hope this helps.

I have four cats (including two with long hair) but I have never seen it pick up much cat hair. I find some cat hair on the pre-filter, but not a lot. It does a lot better with dust.

My wife thinks this machine works... I am not sold on it yet after having it for 6months in our pets room. I would suggest getting some cloth or felt to sit it on because on anything above low this machine makes noise. I am buying a new filter to give it a full year of testing.

We had the same experience. I agree with the commenter that the vacuum does not work well on high carpet or in dealing with long hair and a fair amount of pet fur. After my experience with Miele, I would recommend folks to buy a dyson.

Hi. I can't realy answer that question as I have not had it long enough. I can only imagin that it would be at least 5 yrs which would also depend on how often u use it. I use mine maybe twice a week in between by big vacumming cuz we have a dog and it works great for the constant pet hair. Hope this helps.

I am very unhappy with mine. Bought it in 2013 and in less than a year I had many overheating issues. Online just now because I am fed up and will replace, after today vacuuming about 150 square feet of combined tile/carpet and having it overheat and automatically turn off. have tried filters, etc., nothing changes. In addition, from the first time we vacuumed cat and dog hair would clog the connector between hose and bag because of how the two connect. Continually having to manually unclog hair for it to not lose suction. I'm surprised so many people like this model. Wish I had returned promptly to Amazon. I am very unhappy with mine.

I think it would do good. I've always used a shop vac but this has a great suction & is so light & portable, I would definitely think it would be ideal. I use it for dog hair- lab to be specific- and have no complaints after 6 months.

Sorry I just took out filter and wiped it. Did you call company. I was surprised it wasn't dirtier because I think that the dog hair around room is so much better since I got purifier.

Impossible to give a definitive answer. Too many variables. Where do you live? Pets? Do you regularly vacuum? I clean mine once a month - it's easy and quick.

My experience is as follows: You can take it to your local vacuum repair guy, who will charge you $44 to open the engine and clean it out. He will tell you that it will happen again and that you should have paid attention when he told you to get a bagged vacuum because the bag less ones have this problem chronically. I had been cleaning filters so it wasn't neglect on my part, though I do have three cats who shed. It's working fine again, but the next time it stops I will probably replace it. Good luck!

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 agree with the other two, comments. Number one, the duster should last a long, time. I believe it has a one year manufacture, warranty. Cleaning is as easy as taking the duster outside or put it over the waste paper can and shake the dust, off. If it get exceptionally dirty put a drop of dish detergent in warm water, not hot, and move it around a few times and then rinse in cold, water. I believe, if I read the instructions correctly, that a micro fiber towel can lightly wipe it and then let the duster air, dry. I haven't had any problem out of mine. I just don't like to dust, period! I agree with the other two, comments. Number one, the duster should last a long, time. I believe it has a one year manufacture, warranty.

Good Luck with Dyson. We shipped ours back to them for an inspection, our Dyson was new. We also took pictures of our floor throughout our house and sent those along. Our flooring to replace is about $15,000. which was less than 1 year old when the Dyson started eating it. Never again will I own or suggest a Dyson to anyone and hope my story gets out to everyone. Anyone who sends theres in for an inspection should let them know this isn't the first complaint of the same issue. Please let me know what they say. I no longer have my Dyson, gladly got rid of it and purchased a Rainbow. Good Luck with Dyson. We shipped ours back to them for an inspection, our Dyson was new.
