Great vacuum cleaner ! I have 3 indoor dogs and this vacuum works great. I had actually just vacuumed with a different vacuum. I vacuumed with the new Bissell and the cannister was 1/2 full with dust and animal hair !!! I was shocked ! Will always use Bissell products - currently also have carpet cleaner and the new Crosswave for my wood floors and kitchen - ALL WORK GREAT !!!! Very happy with these products.
