I recently purchased this vacuum and have used it a couple of times. I love how efficiently it picks up my cats hair. I researched different vacuums and based off of reviews and the price, I thought this was the best option especially since I have 3 kitties. I thought my previous vacuum was picking up my cats hair but once my infant twins began to scoot and crawl, I quickly learned it was not when their face was covered in cat hair and drool. Since using this vacuum their facial hair has significantly reduced:) This vacuum really works for our family and I would strongly recommend this if you have pets!
