How does it do with animal hair?

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.

I have two, short-haired tabby cats. This vacuum has done well picking up their fur off the carpets and from their favorite hanging out places. The power hand tool works okay, but is not a miracle solution. It may be that the type of upholstery that I have is harder to clean than others because it is a heavy weaver with texture. I also can't say how it would do for fur off a long-haired breed of cat or dog. You do have to wipe out the inner filter occasionally if it gets plugged up with lint or fine particles to keep the suction up, but this is so much more effective and easier to use/maintain than my previous uprights. I think this vacuum is a good value and efficient performer. I have two, short-haired tabby cats.

I have a cat and this sweeper does a great job cleaning cat hair. It also does a great job cleaning up cat litter carried on to carper areas. Does a remarkable job on bare floors does not blow everything around like most uprights, it picks everything up.

We have one cat that sheds a lot. As others said it does well in the upright position but takes a little practice with the hand tool.

It's not horse hair, but the synthetic fibers make it the best broom I've ever owned. It picks up dust and everything else from my hardwood floors. The foam around the handle makes it comfortable to use.

I would think it would work on any animal with hair. It's not very "deep", and thus far had done a great job!

Most definately. I have birds and a Guinea pig and it very good at picking up small seeds and bedding. I also have dog's and it works great on dog hair!

I have had no problems with any length of animal hair or human hair. Only problem is with long strings from some dog toys or children's toys.

I have a cat with very long hair. It picks up a ton of hair, I couldn't say how it will work for dog hair.

Yes, It does well. You do need to let the hair grow out enough for it to grab it, but for whatever reason, it stays gone longer than tweezing.

Best vacuum I have ever owned for pet hair. It has great suction. I have only owned it a short while, but I have had no problems with smell. Plus, it gets both bulldog hair and golden retriever hair.

I have used it that way on a limited basis. My dog rides in the car with me a lot so there is lots of hair. Not really sure it would work for that.

I do and I love this! I worried about it making my hairy greesy, it doesn't. This is crack for the hair, I highly suggest trying it.

Since I have no pets, I cannot guarantee or vouch anything. But from my daily use of this vacuum (I am a bit of neat freak), I assume that this should work fine on pet hair. You might just have to empty a canister more often. But I find it to be so easy.

Does it clean human hair!!! Human, dog, pig, or wooly mammoth, nothing out there does as good a job as this thing. While it's a lot of work, I use it on our 5 by 10 wool rug and it makes it look almost like new.

I don't have a pet but it is very powerful so I can't imagine that it wouldn't. ( And it certainly picks up human hair)

It handles human hair well, but I can't speak to pet hair as we don't have any animals...

I use this for personal grooming -mustache, beard, around the ears, neckline, general "manscaping". It works fine. You won't get a 'clean shave' with this because it is designed for animals. You can press this up to the skin without getting cut/cutting animal, but you'll get close enough to give maybe 1/32" cut -a "day's growth" appearance" Have had it for 4 years now and still trims the hairs on my dogs' muzzles and ears too. Looking for replacement only because the combs I use for me broke and no replacements are available for purchase it seems

It does a pretty good job on pet hair. We have 3 cats and a dog inside. The dog's hair tends to be coarse and the vac doesn't pick it up quite as well as I'd like, but then neither does my expensive Oreck. The Hoover does do a good job on the dust-bunny type little poofs of cat hair (but performs very poorly on cat litter). That said, l still give this vac an overall very good rating.

It's not designed to collect hair like a traditional brush. It's just supposed to cut the undercoat and pull it away. I always brush my dogs outside or in the garage because the hair goes flying everywhere.
