But how is it on furniture? Can it clean the hair out of couch cushions and cloth easy chairs?

I bought the Animal version of the DC17 and it comes with the mini turbine head. I have a comforter that my golden retreiver loves to sleep on that I've washed and vacuumed endlessly and it still always looks like it needs a shave. One trip over it with the mini turbine and everything visable came out. I had just washed and tumbled the comforter the week before and it still filled the canister with hair. I don't know if I'd use that head on fine fabrics but did a great job on my brocade comforter and didn't do any visable damage to the material. My furniture is all leather to help keep the hair problem down so I don't have anything to try it on there but I'd be willing to bet that you'd have great results on upholstered furniture.

This vacuum cleaner works reat on picking up my dog's hair. On hardwoord floors, I turn off the brush and strictly use the suction. The brush is off so it does not scratch the floor from repeated use. The small rotating brush that comes ith the unit works great on furniture. I have no regrets buying this unit.

My cats seem to like to toss up hair balls on the sofa....So, yes, I've used the manual tool on this type of spot, and it works great! I have not tried to clean the whole sofa, however.

I did try it on the arm of our couch, I just needed to use it mainly on my light carpet where my dog had red mud on his paws. I really do like it though. It cleaned good and easy to use.

It cleans cabinets easy unless it is too dity I clean them first and then use Polish. It leaves cabinets and other furniture with very nice smell and shine, no grease. Use it for last year and a halv and very happy with result.

This vacuum is great on hard surfaces for pet hair. If the pet hair is typically hard to vacuum up because it is on cloth or carpet, not so great. It works very good to pick up loose crumbs on carpet, though. I have two cats that shed and I wholeheartedly recommend, instead, the Eureka EasyClean 71B corded handheld vacuum for pet hair on furniture. It is the only vacuum that will pick up cat hair on my velour couches because of the strong suction and rotating brushes. It is extremely important to clean the filter to keep the suction strong on both of these handheld vacuums. The filter on this Black and Decker CHV1410L is underneath the green filter cover that twists off. The easiest and most effective way to clean the filters for me is to use a shop vac on them. Of course, any vacuum with a hose attachment would work.

if you clean it first...even just a damp cloth it will work great. When I did my couch it was a little tacky for a day but I would highly recommend this product.

I haven't used it to remove hair from the furniture - but it does a good job of removing dog hair from the sherpa dog bed - I would think the thicker the fabric nap, the better it would work. For clothing and flat fabric, the rolling sticky pads work well.

Funny you ask, I just got a stain off of my couch a few minutes ago. I love this cleaner!!

spin brush and a stationery brush. Spin brush is great cleaning furniture and animal hairs off cushions.

It's ok. I have two dogs, one is a golden retriever who sheds constantly. The broom is nice under the couch and near baseboards. It works ok in the mid floor, but I find a duster broom to work best there. I recommend it because it does work and pick up hair and some dirt. It is not the answer to all floor issues. (But I still haven't found that, so?)

This vacuum works pretty good for loose dirt, but I don't think that it would work very well trying to clean furniture with foam cleaner. Just not enough suction power.

I never used it before on leather furniture. Your question led me to try it out on my soft-leather beige couch. It cleaned it about as well as the leather cleaner I have, but it didn't leave a moisturizing finish as did the leather cleaner. It didn't do any damage to my leather but it didn't magically make the leather instantly clean either. I used a dilute solution. I will try a more concentrated solution at a later time. Good luck. Sorry I couldn't answer your question adequately.

To Dear Customer: Here are some tips for cleaning our micro-fiber sofa set. 1. Vacuum with a brush attachment to remove any hair/crumbs. 2. Use a small brush with soapy water to clean the small stain. 3. Use Steam Vac to clean the bigger area stain. 4. If it is a very big area, and very tough stain. Pillow, and seating cushion cover can be remove for washing purpose, and air dry the cover afterward to prevent shrinking. Many Thanks Stendmar Inc.

Yes, I have used it on a burgundy leather couch, loveseat, and chair. I would not have used it on any of those unless I did a small test area on the back of the couch first. I used this same products cleaning spray first and then the conditioner. There was a small amount of the dye that did come off of the couch. It did not damage the couch but some of the dye did rub off. Again, it was a burgundy colored leather.

You can clean carpets with it yes, but I personally haven't done that yet. It works wonderfully on my kitchen floor I can tell you that. I also cleaned 2 old and extremely dirty recliners with it however. It did an amazing job on them. They look nearly brand new now.

I used it on furniture and it works great! No residue and easy to work with.
