How does this model handle human hair? I have long hair that sheds everywhere and has destroyed traditional vacuums.

It handles well, the canister will probably have to just be emptied more frequently then usual.

So far, so good. I have long hair, too, and the Dyson just sucks it up along with everything else. I'm really happy with it.

It does a very good job removing hair. I was quite surprised. I have a handheld and upright Dyson and use this more than anything, though I use them all a lot, I like things quite tidy.

The hair has to come out somewhere, like a vacuum cleaner it has to be collected into a bag and them thrown out. Well the unit I bought has a paper filter to protect the vacuum cleaner from being clogged by the hair. Where is all that 13 years of hair gone?

VERY good! While the house is "standard" carpet, I have a hallway runner and an entry way runner that are of the oriental-type. And, I have two large dogs. The dog hair is no challenge! That said, I usually have to 'toe stand' on the ends to keep them from sucking upward. Believe me, I have run this vac through Hades and back - and it is still going strong!

hi. I found a great solutions for "unwinding" hair (people and dogs) around the brush and around the wheels of the vaccuum. Go and get a sewing product called a "seam ripper". The concept is almost like a letter opener. Inexpensive. Better than unwinding the hair by hand or with a scissor. Let me know how you do with it.

I still use my eureka. The handle broke off right away but it mechanically still runs great and with lots of power. It's a messy ordeal emptying the dirt cup. I always do that outside. It was a cheap vacuum, so even tho its got little issues, Istill am amazed at how much dirt it pulls out of my carpet.

I love my Roomba! I would prefer to have the new one 800 series because I have long hair and it tangles more than the new one does, but I love it anyway. I have a cat and so we do appreciate the HEPA. I take them out and knock them over the trash can several times before I put in a new one. This machine does keep our unit dust free. I have so much less dusting now than before I got it. I hope this helps with your decision.

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.

I definitely don't recommend it! We have wood floors and carpeting, 2 sets of stairs, and 2 cats. The brush roller on carpet is TERRIBLE. It doesn't pick anything up and hair gets tangled in it constantly. I actually have to take the roller apart after (and sometimes during) each use to clean the hair out of it. As for the hard floor attachment, it pretty much just pushes stuff around and hardly gets anything. It's a shame because I can tell the suction on the actual vacuum is great. The real problem is the attachments. They're just not designed well. I wish I had never bought this vacuum. If you still want it though I'll sell you mine for really cheap!

I haven't had any trouble with that. I have 3 dogs that shed heavily and long hair and the vacuum works beautifully so far.

I have Shelties...they shed like crazy also. I've had no problems with hair removal. I use a sticky roller or an upholstery attachment on the end of the vacuum to remove hair. Also, the cover is no problem to remove and throw in the washer and dryer. It slips back on the sofa easily.

I am a house cleaner. And this is the only vac I ever use. I have a lot of clients that have pets and pet hair all over the sofas... the piece to remove the pet hair has its own motor... and it works great. My clients love it!. I got the warranty just incase because you never know. But I have bought and quickly got rid of other ones. SHARK was the biggest waste of money EVER!..it wouldn't suck up anything!.. So as a professional house cleaner I recommend this product!

While we have no real experience with long hairs, all I can say is that the Neato does extremely well picking up dirt from carpets and hardwood floors. In fact much better than the Roomba.

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.

I agree with Dom. I have not had a problem even though I had a lot of shedding to do before a long distance move. Since that busy time period, I have only needed to shed small amounts at a time. It has never gotten hot for me either. Great machine, very reliable.

Let me put it this way, my hair is down to my ...you know...and It picks it up. It gets wound around the roller brush because it is so long but it is simple to remove. When I vacuum my carpet and I pull out the filter to empty out what it picked up...I am amazed at how much pet hair was on the filter and it pulls off in one piece. I am so happy I bought the Eureka Easy Clean so I don't have to pull out the big vacuum anymore when I want to vacuum while the pets are shedding this time of year. Please keep in mind that I have a regular carpet, not shag, so I don't know how it works on that but I bet it would work just fine on that too!
