My son's dog is the ideal dog with one exception. He sheds like crazy! I can vacuum the wood floor but the furniture turns into a furry mess when he rubs against it. I've bought every gadget that I could find to try to deal with this with no avail. This vacuum pulls the hair from the fabric with little time and effort. The rubber nubs instead of bristles on the brush really do the trick. I hope that larger vacuums will follow with this concept.

I'm not sorry that I purchased the vacuum but it does have it's limitations. When I tried to vacuum the floor of my car it wouldn't pick up even the tiniest pebbles or bits of gravel. It worked fine on the seats but it got hot after a while and turned itself off for about 20 minutes! I was sure that it was ruined but after 20 minutes it worked fine again. It worked great in the house on dust in those hard to vacuum areas like under the desk & behind the TV. Also worked great on shredded paper on the floor by the shredder. I'll enjoy having it for such things but I'll still be dragging out the 20 year old shop vac for the car. Oh, the special retriever head kept falling apart in my hands (not put together right at the factory). I had to figure out how to put the tiny belt on and snap it back together myself. Not the end of the world but when you take something like that out of the box you expect it to work.

This is a great unit and it really does it's job. The suction is more powerful than my regular vacuum! Easy to use, light weight and the rubber/brush attachment works well. Now if they only made them this powerful with batteries!

I have been learning to groom my dog, and rapidly grew tired of dragging my full sized vacuum back and forth to clean up all the hair afterwards. I decided I wanted a good, small hand vacuum to just keep in the back room. I wanted it to be powerful, corded (never met a decent rechargeable vacuum yet), and I wanted it to be very easy to empty. This little vacuum cleaner has everything I wanted! And I have to say, I cannot BELIEVE how powerful this thing is. If it were any stronger, I'd have to hold onto it with both hands! It rocks!

I bought this to pick up dust every now and then in my studio apartment. I preferred the corded types because the cordless ones had to be charged and would lose it's charge faster as it gets older. I think this had the best reviews versus the cordless/rechargeable types and the other small corded types. The cord of this thing is long enough, and I could vacuum half of my apartment at a time, and then plugging it into an electrical outlet on the other side of my apartment to vacuum the other side. Suction is strong, easy to clean (you just have to empty the bin). Picks up dust balls, little pieces of shredded paper, beads from a necklace that I broke, etc. I did not want a big heavy duty vacuum cleaner because I had such a small space. This one fit well in my storage closet area, bottom shelf. So, first I vacuum little dust balls here and there. Then I use a Swiffer sweeper to wipe off the rest of the dust on my wood floor. If you're on a budget, small space, light cleaning now and then, this will work for you. Works for me.

This vacuum works great on pet hair. I loved it until I tried to order a replacement pre-filter from Black and Decker (my dog destroyed it) It has been on back-order since November, over 5 months, with no delivery date in sight.

Product works well for pet hair. Sawdust gets trapped in the filter, but the filter is removable so it can be shaken out in the garabage can (not washable). The way the filter attaches to the vaccum doesn't always hold well, but i have found this a very minor issue. Very happy with the product!! Very good performance and great price!

BLACK 7 DECKER HV9010P pet series cyclonic-action corded dustbuster & blower, is the pet hair retriever I have ever had. I have two long haired cats, that shed 365 days of the year. I've slways had pets,cats & dogs(most with long hair) I've tryed just about everything! This is the best. The best way I found is to put a strap on it, so you can put it on your shoulder when using the hose. (I used a shoulder strap from a piece of luggage, works great! Its stronger then my hoover,& does a much better job, & its a great price.

We are very pleased with this vacuum. It has great suction and picks up hair and crumbs very well. It also comes with a long cord so you can plug it in and reach a long area. I recommend this hand vacuum.

Literally, this thing sucks: dirt, pet hair, whatever! I was quite amazed at its sucking power. The rotating brush attachment is a wonderful thing. Instead of the usual type of bristles, it has rubber 'fingers' that make picking up hair a breeze. The filter is easy to access. I clean it every time I use it, but that just shows me how much crap it is picking up.
A must buy!
