Is it good for pet hair?

Yes for hard floors, low carpet and above-floor spots with the pet tool. It is not the pick for thick carpet or heavy shedding.

How often do I empty it?

The cup holds 0.25 gallons, so expect to empty it after most full-room cleans. Pet hair fills it faster.

Does it work on thick carpet?

Only lightly. Owners report weak suction and clogging on deep pile, so it suits low carpet and hard floors better.

What comes in the box?

The vacuum, a hose and a pet upholstery tool. Filters are washable, so no bags are needed.

Is it worth it over a full-size upright?

It is worth it as a cheap second vacuum for quick pet-hair pickups. For whole-home deep cleaning, a stronger upright is the better buy.

Our take on the Dirt Devil Performance Pet Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner

The Dirt Devil Performance Pet is a lightweight bagless upright vacuum built for homes with pets. It weighs about 2 pounds and has a small 0.25-gallon dirt cup, so it is easy to carry up stairs but needs frequent emptying. A pet-tool and hose give it above-floor reach for stairs and upholstery. It is a budget upright, and its price sits at the low end of what full-size pet uprights cost.
