We have a Bissell steam cleaner that I love, it works so wonders so I was super excited for this vacuum. We got the Cleanview Pet as we have two dogs and three kids. It worked really well at first, but then I realized it was getting really hard to push...So I took it apart and sure enough there was mass amounts of hair in the belt area and around the belt. I apparently have to take the roller brush off and clean the belt after each use (six screws), at least twice a week because now there is what I believe to be burnt on hair that is now causing the vacuum's belt to not work properly and we'll need to purchase another roller brush. As a busy mom of three this is highly inconvenient and for a "pet" vacuum really very disappointing.
