Before even using the Hoover Power Drive Swivel XL Pet vacuum I like the fact that it removed dust and dander up to 99.97% which I thought was extremely amazing for the vaccum. I'm a clean freak so I was excited to try it out. I say it does suck more powerfully than most vacuums but if you don't have it on the right setting such as low medium or high carpet then it will not get the top layer of dirt and trash off your carpet, I did get more static electricity than expected from using this vacuum while in my socks. I like that it has a easy to clean filter an s clear bucket you can see what it is that you are collecting . It's a slight bit on the heavy side and comes with cool accessories that I do not know how to use but overall I think it's a great vacuum by removing pet hair and eliminating the odor
