The broom doesn't have an electostatic charge to pickup up fur, it only rolls the fur. Why

It's intended to act like a traditional broom but instead of spreading the fur all over the floor, it helps keep it in a neat pile for you, which is why it just rolls the fur. I think other products like Swiffer/microfiber dust mops would be better if you want something to pick up fur.

Basically it's just several rows of stiff plastic teeth that do a very poor job of even scrapping dog hair together. The handle is of.poor design wanting a perfect straight up position to have any chance of moving hair. A better design would be if the handle was at a 45° angle to pull the hair to you.

You are correct. It functions only as a "push" broom. But it seems to corral the hair better than a conventional broom.

I bought a Roomba several years ago and returned it because of tassels. Here's the problem: while the Roomba would "spit out" the tassels is sucked in, it wound up doing this all the time. It never learned to pass over the tassels the next time. This means that a huge percent of battery drain could be attributed to this aspect of the cleaning.

I have not encountered either of these problems. Is the brush working properly or jammed?? Try using less pressure and allow the unit to glide over the surfaces. I haven't used this on my cat but it does remove cat hair from my furniture!!!

The brush does rotate and appears to be powered by either belt or direct drive action. I have the older model and it also had a rotating brush. In both cases, you can operate with or without brush rotation. When you first slide the on/off switch forward you get only suction. The next " click " engages the brush. Pulling the switch " back " from the off position releases the dust cup for cleaning.

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.

My opinion is that it should depending on the type of carpet. Carpet with tall nap (such as shag), probably not as the sweeper cleans surface unlike a vaccum that "sucks" up debris. My sweeper picks up cat hair, leaves, string and other items that appear on the carpet between vaccuming. I am very happy with the Bissell's performance, plus I don't have to worry about batteries or electricity. Just a quick once over with the sweeper between weekly vaccums and the carpets look great. By the way, it works on bare floors also. Hope this was helpful.

Yes. it it actually seems to attract dust. Never had a broom that works even close to this.

It might mean your belt that rotates the brush is not connected- I think the light goes off when the brush stops spinning for some reason...

I can only guess at this but I would look at the charger itself. If the red light is showing when plugged into outlet and it does not turn green, then I would assume you would need a replacement battery. If light not showing then I would purchase the charger. However, I had a similar issue with one of my sweepers. I happen to have two sweepers so it was an easy check for me. I thought the battery was not charging because I could not get the sweeper to work. The battery light on charger showed green or charged, bur when I plugged it into the the sweeper, it would not work. Turned out that the sweeper itself was not working, the battery and charger were just fine. I can only guess at this but I would look at the charger itself.

Hi Vincent:The vacuum self adjusts between rug and hardwood. As far as it being able to pick up dog fur it should. You might want to contact the Dyson Co. and ask them. I am on my second Dyson. My last one lasted over 10 years. It is a great product. I have had other brands in the past. This has lasted the longest and out performed the others.

I had the same problem when I used mine. I had been forgetting to set it on the lowest setting after doing rugs. Now I keep mine on the lowest foe even rugs and it works better picking up dirt. Be warned though if you ever take it apart to clean the roller and inside it doesn't fit together right again and doesn't sit as low to the floor. Mine did that anyway. Hope this helps. New vacuums are like xmas to me!

I purchased this broom for my hair salon, so it doesn't get cleaned after use. We just use it to sweep hair.

It picks up hair but it ALL remains on the brush. After using the vacuum the first time I was dismayed to see how much hair entangled the roller. When I opened the dust cup to see how much was in there, I was amazed. There was NONE. Literally, not a single hair. I would stay away if your goal is to clean up after a pet that sheds.

My mother said the sweeper had worked the day before but then sounded slower. When she charged the battery and put it on the sweeper, it didn't work. We really didn't know, but took the chance to order the battery replacement. When it arrived, she charged it then put it on the sweeper and it worked.

Well of course u need the brush..how do u think the machine works..the brush rotates to pick up hair ,dust & dirt and throws it up into the dirt bin! Very simple answer..still LOVE my robot..I too only.have wood floors!

I received mine and it is exactly the same device and model number as what comes with the sweeper. There is only one red light that turns on when charging the battery and it NEVER turns off or switches to any other color to indicate the battery is fully charged. The battery and charger are warm to the touch the whole time, so my guess it is NOT a smart charger.

Mrs. Freeman, the Swiffer Sweeper Vac comes with a re-chargeable battery already installed. You just need to completely charge your unit with the battery recharger (black cord that plugs into your Sweeper Vac at the top of the green body by where you attached the silver 'broom-stick'). There is an LED light close to where you plug in the black recharger cord that turns green when powered up and then flash red when you need to plug it into the battery recharger. Please let me know if this helps! - Erin Powell, R.Ph.T.
