I've been loyal to the shark brand for almost 10 years and I was due for an upgrade so I got this Shark® Rotator® Pet Lift-Away® ADV Upright Vacuum and it works beautifully. Young kids always tracking in dirt as well as our dog. Speaking of dogs, they love to shed as well as the 4 cats we have. This vacuum makes the air smell better too. Great power at an affordable price.
