I have hardwood, with area rugs. My vacuum picks up some hair, but, it also blows hair away. It isn't so much that the vacuum blows the hair away, but that the roller, as it spins, creates a air flow issue.

I think if you have a vacuum with a hardwood or tile setting, the roller stops rolling and there is only suction. Otherwise, that roller thing keeps spinning, and it makes things blow away, too.

I use a shop vac....I have a long hose and I leave the cannister part with the air blowing out as far away as I can, and use the long hose to get up the hair. I still have some hair issues, but not as much as I do with the upright vacuum.

My next vacuum- when I have some extra cash- will be a decent bagged vacuum. I can't wait.
