I really love this vacuum as it has amazing suction which is great because I have 2 labs that shed. It is a lightweight vacuum which is easy to use and totally love the retractable chord. The only suggestion to make it perfect would to have the front wheels bigger so it would be easier to maneuver. I've been using the Dyson Animal for years now and would never consider using another vacuum until I tried the Powergroom and I am so happy I tried it!!
