The Shark Rocket Pro, picks up VERY well.
 The area I first vacuumed with it, was a area that had been vacuumed the day before. 
 Within five minutes, the Shark had picked up A LOT more. 
 The vacuum was easy to assemble and the attachment comes apart easily to be able to vacuum the ceiling and other had to get to areas. 
 The Shark glides across any floor easily and turns easily.
 The only drawback I found with this Shark machine was the motor was near the top of the handle and it made the machine top heavy. It doesn’t stand on it’s own. There are two small attachments that didn’t have anywhere to attach to the machine, that I could find. 
 But, as well as this machine works, I find these to be minor problems. 
 As you can see from the photo, it picked up quite a bit after only a five minute vacuum. 
 I have animals and cleaning hair has always been a problem.
