No pets just lots of carpeted stairs! Is this worth it or is there a better one out there?

It's gotta be the best one you can buy. I've got a chihuahua that has long hair and a king size waterbed. I have to vacuum my bed daily and it does perfect job on the bed, my hardwood floors, scatter rugs, everything. Love it!

Hi, yes it works great. I live on the second floor but I use the elevator. I put kitty litter and pilled to the top. I cannot say about stairs but its pretty sturdy.

I have a very active Yorkshire terrier who is 8 pounds. I have had no problems with it withstanding his leaps up the stairs onto his cedar chest to look out a window. I have it at 13 inches high. It appears to be made out of studier recycled plastic, easy to put together and has carpet treads on the steps which are removable. the carpet allows them to get a grip on the steps as they go up and down. this will probably handle it for your cat. If you want a higher one they make it with an additional step added. It also supports more weight. I think the one I have goes to 25 lbs.

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....

If you have low carpet its great. High carpet makes it a little harder to navigate. Good on the stairs and bare floor sufaces. I give it a 4 only because of harder navigation on high plié carpet

I have 2 90lb mixed breeds, a long hair Chihuahua and 2 long haired cats and I think the Roomba is the best thing since sliced bread!! I do get my 2 big dogs groomed every 3 months to keep their hair short cause they look better and it makes it easier to check for ticks and give them baths. It picks up the hair, dirt(which we get a lot of since we are working on our yard) and other debris. I am very happy with it. Cant stand a gritty feeling on the floors-I have hard floors and a couple of small rugs-and Roomba takes care of that. If you have large amounts of hair you may need to empty it more often but I definitely reccommend it-makes life easier!!

The only concern I have would be for the carpet on the steps and the adhesive holding it in place. If you could keep it indoors or sheltered when not in use I'd think you'd be fine. We used small treats to teach our lab and shepherd to use it. I still stand next to them to keep it really stable but they are comfortable going up. Darn dogs still jump off the bed, though. :)

I think you would be better off with one of those metal ones that has bigger wheels. This particular one has small wheels and probably would not handle the stairs that well.

It's great on carpeted stairs... it also has a flippable visor which makes the riser easy to get to. Yes, the brushes keep rotating but they can be stopped if desired. No problem as far as the pick up.

I own both the Animal and the Multi Floor. By far, I prefer the Animal. I have 4 pug dogs and 3 cats, the extra attachments that come with the Animal allow for better clean up, it does a far better job vacuuming the sofa, and for some reason it feels more powerful. I use the Multi for cleaning the stairs due to its lighter weight.

No, this is pretty basic. But it does pick up an appalling amount of dust and pet hair, returns to the dock automatically, and avoids stairs and carpet fringe. It's running now, as a matter of fact. We're loving it, and are seriously considering buying another one or even two, as we have a large 3-level home.

no, this set of steps is a nice block of foam. They are strong and soft. It will take the weight of almost any size dog or cat, plus it has a second cover. Believe me when I tell you this is what you are looking for, if a sturdy, yet soft set of steps is what you want. I have the steps you are describing, too. They are fragile and if you leaned on them you would crack them. This is why I'm so happy with this product.

We have hardwoods and this is probably better suited for a carpeted house. It moves so easily on our floors.

Yes it would be very much worth it. My mother in law has only hardwood & tile & she loves it!!! I have more tile & hardwood than carpet & would rather use it than anything else. My mom just got one too because she loves mine.

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.

This vacuum works fine on high carpet. I have sort of shaggy carpet and it does a good job. The only thing I would say is if you have animals or lots of traffic I would step up to a model with a power head. Miele has an excellent vacuum that cost about $300 more but it's an excellent value for what you get. It's only sold at dealerships and the name of it escapes me. I would have purchased it,but for me not having kids or dogs and single it would be overkill. Good luck.

I don't think any Dyson is worth the cost, however, the only Dyson I have used is the Dyson City DC23. There is little draw. It's actually the brush that picks up the dust and it requires you clean the brush intermittently while vacuuming. I suggest you look at other brands for your needs. I use a Bissell bagless upright and the draw is terrific...strong. I'm sure other brands work well also. This model Dyson would be very difficult to use on stairs as it's cumbersome and heavy.
