I bought this about a month ago.
We have 2 dogs and 2 cats so pet fur is a constant problem,  we had a big box stick vacuum for years and it worked okay for the fur but you had to go slow and maybe 2 passes. With the Gen5detect it pulls the fur into it about 3 or 4 inches before you get there. The laser is an eye opener, the floor looks clean until the laser highlight's the dust and fur. My floors get cleaned better and faster now. Great purchase.
