This is just okay. I bought it mostly to clean up dog fur after a de-shedding. We have five large and giant breed dogs all with heavy undercoats. It handled the spring shed comb out for two of them quite easily, but it tips when you try to walk with the hose and I have not gotten the bags to work, though, I confess, I did not RTFM. It was quick and easy to assemble and is powerful enough for my simple needs.
