This is by far the worst vacuum I have ever owned. From the very first use we have had to take it completely apart before every use to clean out all the impacted dirt and pet hair. For regular everyday use it may be sufficient but we have 6 dogs and a cat! It in no way can keep up which was very disappointing to me because it's specifically advertised for "pet erasing". We have owned this for less than 6 months and will already be replacing it with something else. Do NOT recommend to anyone with multiple pets.
