I have a long-haired cat & the hair gets into the gears (gives continual error 2). Does this assembly also prevent hair getting into the gears?

It doesn't get the hair rapped around the ends off the brushes like the 500 series one does. Haven't had it long enough to see if it gets in the gearbox yet.

Yes. This blocks the hair from getting into the gears. I've had the same problem until I purchased this.

I've found it's a significant improvement. It doesn't prevent it completely though. I used to have to clean after every run and had errorr 2's about half the time. Now I clean every other run and have only had 1error 2 in probably 20 runs.

Yes, We have two dogs and one cat, and the gears works perfect:-) I will also recommend the aerovac bin. These two upgrades of my roomba 555 gives us a much better machine!

If it is Error 3 and the picture of the arrows going in a circle, I have been successful by:1) remove the edge brushes and check for coiled up hair2) remove the main beater brush and pull off end caps; check for hair/debris3) When replacing main brush, carefully inspect the groove shape on the squared end of the brush end cap. It should drop in easily; you should not have to force it. If you have to push it in, then it is not correctly aligned.Hope this helps.

No any problem with long hair. Second (bigger) roll collects all hair nicely and what You do after cleaning is removing it using attached tool. Hope it helps.

I have used a few of these without any problems. I would like to say that you have to make sure you put it together correctly when you install it. If you do not install the dial and center lock button in the correct position it will not work but worse yet it can wreck the gears. Good Luck

Not sure. I have a German Shepard dog with long thick hair and it worked perfect. Don't know about cats

If the comb is off. I had to cut mats off with scissors first then use the clippers to shave closer. My cats hair is fine..not like people hair!

Not sure if you're still having the issue, but it sounds similar to something that was happening to me a while ago. There was a bunch of hair stuck up behind that front middle wheel. I have no idea how to remove the wheel or if that's even possible, but I managed to get it out by cutting a piece of paper (a heavier kind-like a postcard type. I used a flyer I got in the mail.) and pushing it through the space behind the wheel and pulling the hair chunks out the other end. If that makes sense?

Yes mine is loose too. I was also surprised they did not put velcro. It does not seem to bother my cat though.

I have 2 cats, one with short and one with long hair, i used it to clean my bed and didn't work, it just move around the hair, for me it was a waist of money

The floor brush head assembly separates from the upright body assembly with the touch of a button, but the actual brush itself does not detach from the head assembly easily. There appear to be 7 screws that hold a bezel that covers the actual rotating brush. We have 4 long hair cats and although I've been able to pull the hairs off the brush assembly, I assume I'll have to take it apart at some point. Hope this helps.

No. The brush tips are uncovered. I game mine to a friend who has a shorter haired cat and once again the cat hated it. Buy some with the plastic coated tips if you want a good brushing and a happy cat.

Yes! We had the same issue with one of our cats. This box is huge and deep. Works great for us.

I am fairly certain the placement of the cat opening is not interchangeable. However, I am currently checking with the manufacturer to confirm this information. I will contact you back as soon as more information is received.

We put some electrical or duct tape around the frayed wires and the end of the wand. It doesn't seem to affect the movement of the mouse. Our cats really love this toy, I wouldn't buy it otherwise. Between the wires fraying and the iffy sharp points and tiny loops where the mouse connects to the wire, the manufacturers really need to do some redesigning. We never leave it out unattended.

make sure all access holes are cleaned out of built up dirt. if you have a cat or dog ,holes can fill up with dirty hair. also make sure all parts are secure and in the right position. hope this helps.
