Does this Rug Rake remove pet hair from Oriental rugs - hair that is deep and hard to get out? No vaccuum works, am hoping this will. Thanks

I don't have deep pile carpet, but I think it might. The tines are about 5/8" long and there's a lot of them, closer spaced than on a wire pet brush.At the very least it will make your rug look better and remove the hair that's visible. You might need to do a very thorough close-up job every 3 to 6 months.I used to spend 10 minutes a day scraping my cat's hair up with rough-soled shoes. Now it's a job of maybe a minute and a half.

Amazon shipped me the rug rake without a handle, therefore it does not work at all!!

I don't have pets, but i sure have enough of my own hair that i shed :((I would say YES this small little vac will do the job of pet hairs. it is a strong suction.. hope this helps.

Not sure. W e have not done this but we have vacuumed all of the oriental rugs we have that are very good rugs without any problems.- silk and hand dyed wool.

Yes it seems to clean everything well, although you have to lift it up the stairs. Only issue is to avoid fringes on edges of oriental rugs, it likes to get wound in them....

I would imagine it would get stuck. The bottom of a normal vacuum has bristles to move dirt out of a rug/carpet and to allow movement of the vacuum. The bottom of this only has wheels to push and an opening to suck up. With that being said, a quick flick of the rug on the hard wood isnt an issue anymore because you don't have to sweep it up. I dont have rugs so I cannot tell you from experience sorry!

It does not remove deep spots but will remove foot prints and smaller marks. I use a stiff hair brush to remove the deep spots caused by furniture and then the Rake. Neither will remove deep spots completely. I sometimes push the rake real hard and then pull it back and it looks pretty good. In rugs that are not worn very much, they look new or near new. I use the rake after I vacuum each room and it looks terrific.

Sorry, shag carpet is difficult to clean without a shag carpet "rake" attachment. The Hoover I reviewed does not have , or offer, a rake attachment.. It has the suction but not the correct tool.

NOT AT ALL FOR DOG HAIR ON CARPET!!! We already had a Dyson and it works great but I wanted this one for the stairs and other places it's difficult to use the larger one. I used it on the living room carpet and could still see stuff so I went over with the larger Dyson and there was more stuff in that canister and this was AFTER I vacuumed with the DC23. I do believe in the Dyson product but this one is not a value. We do have three dogs but it wouldn't matter if I only had one small dog. This vacuum doesn't have the suction or maybe it's the contact with the floor (I think the floor head is flimsy) to really pick up stuff on carpet or rugs. I hope that helped.

I use it on my oriental and on my berber where I don't really want a rolling carpet brush. It has great suction, but no motorized carpet brush. I'm still totally in love with this many months after my purchase.

I don't have pets, but I doubt it. If you are talking about removing pet fur from a pile carpet, you may need something along the lines of a Kirby or Dyson. When we got our Kirby years ago, it was picking up dog fur from the carpet & we don't have a dog. It was from the previous owner. Also remember, vacuums always work better when they are new. You may get something that will pick it up when it is new, but after a while not quite do it. Good luck.

It won't vaccuum or replace a vacuum. You need to vac first, then steam mop. It sanitizes and polishes the floor to an amazing clean, but it does not suck up pet hair.

It works okay if you just have dirt to get out of your carpets. I have hair that tends to get wrapped around it and is nearly impossible to remove from it. I gave up and just use a floor cleaning brush head that I bought from Amazon. Much easier to clean the hair from it than to try to unwrap it from the beater brush

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.

We do not have a cat so don't know if it will pick up cat hair. We did have a Lab with a heavy coat and it did a good job as long as you vacumn before you use the rug shampoo. We do not have a cat so cannot answer the part of the question re cat hair. We did have a Black Lab with a heavy undercoat and the cleaner did a good job as long as you vacumn before you use this machine. We were actually pleasantly surprised as to how well it cleaned our rug which is a light colored Berber.

I love this vacuum--it really lifts up/off the pet hair. It is also the quietest vac. I have used. We have new carpet upstairs & it does a wonderful job. I'm not sure how dense your carpet is but our new carpet is very plush but does not have long fibers. I recently had surgery & can use this vac. while in the recovery mode. Not hard to push. My only negative is the hose for the tools is too short. I'm only 5'1" & can't reach the tops of doors or other higher places w/ the appropriate attachments. I called the co. & they said I could add additional wands but it would reduce the suction...so I haven't done that. I love this vacuum--it really lifts up/off the pet hair.

It works well. There is a sweeper brush and it picks up pet hair by rolling. The hair gets swept into the vac. I use mine on laminate floors and see no problem. I really like as it is not heavy and does a great job. It does not scrape the floor. So I would say it will not hurt the floors

Yes, the brush does load up quickly . . . after about 5 to 7 strokes . . . but I have pets who shed a lot. That also tells me that the brush is doing its' job. I remove the stuff from the bristles by starting at one end of the brush, taking my thumb and forefinger and carefully pinching the width and slowly pulling the stuff up and towards the opposite end of the brush. I might have to do it two or three times, but is does the job. If you want to spend quite a bit more money, there are probably other brushes out there that have a push plate that does the same thing. I don't know how effective thay are and don't much care because I'm satisfied with The Universal Rug Rake that I have. I hope that this answers your questions.
