This vacuum has a lot of suction power!  Which is great for picking up stubborn hair.  I also like the pivoting ability to get into tricky spaces.  The detachable handle and wand is easy to use and works great for getting in corners and higher spots, but I wish it had a brushroll attachment to use on the stairs.  Overall the vacuum is a little heavier than I would like, but it functions well on both carpet and hard floor.  I also find it odd that it came with 3 attachments but only space on the vacuum itself for 2.
