Fluffy head picks up cat litter and sand instantly

I'm obsessed with this vacuum. I bought this after much consideration (months of waiting/comparing models) – I have hardwood floors, 2 low pile rugs, and a cat and litter box, plus we live a few blocks from the beach so lots of sand. I previously had a Dyson Animal, but it wasn't good at picking up the litter or sand - it would throw it around on the floor, or when I would turn the vacuum off the litter would fall back out onto the floor, super frustrating. So, I wanted an upgrade that would handle litter and sand. This vacuum does both beautifully - using the "fluffy" roller head, it picks every single tiny particle of litter up with one pass, and it removes the little fragments of litter and sand embedded into my flat/washable kitchen rug. It's amazing. It's also significantly quieter, and significantly longer battery life than my previous Dyson Animal (which, to be fair, I'd had for about 7 years).
Average only because I have not used it extensively. I am very impressed with the construction of not only the product itself, but the corresponding material that goes with it. I have had only one instance where I had to use the vacuum so this review is limited in scope. When I have been using the vacuum for more varied uses I will get a better idea of its capabilities.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best vacuum we've ever owned. Picks up efficiently; lightweight; great for room carpeting, stairs and car. No cord, no bags. Great for pet hair as well. Replaced three inefficient vacuums! Highly recommend!!
This is my first experience with a Dyson products and a cordless vacuum. I’m so glad I made the choice. It does an exceptional job throughout my home. It’s lightweight and the rotating head makes it easy to get around tough areas. I use the most powerful level and I’m able to do 5 rooms in my house before I have to charge it. I’m very pleased with the performance of this machine and highly recommend Dyson products!
I can’t believe how easy it is to vacuum under furniture. Big furry dog? Bowl of popcorn flips over? Vacuuming 20 stairs? Don’t want to wake up grandma. Get a Dyson stick vac!
