The Powergroom canister vacuum has very powerful suction, I couldn't believe how much more hair it picked up than the upright I had been using. It's motorized carpet/floor nozzle makes vacuuming easy and efficient. I was glad assembly was just clicking a few parts together, no screwdriver needed. With the attachments and the long hose I was able to reach to the top of my cat's scratching posts, something my old vacuum couldn't do. I do wish it had on vacuum storage for the tools. The dirt bin is super easy to empty and the vacuum has a automatic cord rewind which is also nice. I was not aware of the Bissell Powergroom motorized canister vacuum before I received it, but now I tell everyone I know with pets what a wonderful job it does. I would definitely buy it works really well.
