This is the second WindTunnel High Performance Pet Vacuum that I own! These vacs out clean any vac that I own (Shark, Miele, Hoover). I updated because this one has a light, which turned out to not be a very good light. Also the on and off switch is concealed with rubber thus making it rather hard to operate. The canister is hard to take apart to clean, but I am sure it will get easier with a little wear. I like the improved way to switch from upright to hand held hose instead of having to switch the dial. Overall an excellent vacuum. Hoover makes the Best!
