I LOVE this vacuum.  I have never been so happy with a vacuum.  We have a dog that sheds quite a bit and the majority of the house is hard wood so the fur moves like tumbleweeds through the house.  I vacuum almost every day and this vacuum has made my lie so easy. It's light-weight and the fact that the main piece comes off makes it perfect for reaching under the bed and other furniture. I love it and will be a Shark vacuum owner for life.
