This vacuum is the Queen of all vacuum cleaners!!! After recovering from brain surgery I couldn’t life anything heavy for 2-5 months ; well you can’t leave your house go uncleaned for that long and our other  vacuum is VERY heavy… this is lightweight, durable, easy to clean, and the fact that it has the little pop out mini vac is awesome!! I got the pet one as my hair falls out like leaves fall off trees and it’s so great!  Love love can’t say enough good about this! I even convinced my doctor who just had a baby to get one due to the lightweight feature and she’s in love!
