Bought this strictly to use on dog hair. We have a 13 year old and 80 pound chocolate lab who is constantly shedding hair everywhere. We had been using those "pad" type sweepers but they stop catching fur after a few passes. We had to use multiple pads and were never satisfied with the results. Enter our Bissell FeatherWeight Lightstick... our floors have never been cleaner! It's quick and easy to use as opposed to pulling out the full vacuum and it outperforms the pad type sweeper! It's super easy to clean after we're done. Even though the 15 foot cord length is a bit limiting, I still give it the full five stars! It exceeded our expectations.
