I really like this BISSELL vacuum. It's light and easy to use. The brush doesn't get tangled with hair, which is great because I have two dogs and two cats. The hose is simple to use, and I can switch between hardwood and carpet easily. There's a light on the front that helps me see the dirt. It picks up pet hair well, and there's a nice smell feature to help with pet odors. I've had other vacuums before, but this one works best for me. It's good for homes with pets.
