Powerful vac is great with pet hair (short hair cat and long hair dog). I was grossed out when I first used it as I could finally see what my old vac was leaving behind. Features are all as promissed or better. Interior bristles of pet hair tool are a rubbery/silicon material that work wonders. Love how nice and clean my floors and furniture are! We have plush carpet, linoleum and tile and the vac works fantastic on all!
