I am very happy with this vacuum! My dog likes to lie on the couch, and she is a shedder! I bought a couch cover to protect the furniture, and the vacuum helps me keep that cover clean with very little effort. I needed something lightweight and I prefer a corded cleaner, and this little Bissell fits the bill perfectly! The dirt container is very easy to clean. I would recommend this vacuum to anyone who has fur kids that shed and who doesn't want to haul out a big vacuum and hassle with attachments to get the job done.
