I purchased this model 2 months ago to replace my Dyson DC41 animal complete. I have a St Bernard and Golden Retriever. In the 5 years I owned the vacuum I replaced 3 brush heads because the hair wrapped around the brush. Dyson replaced the first one under warranty, but when the second one went they had no interest. They said I was not maintaining the vacuum as recommended. I was. Fast forward to now. I couldn’t me more pleased with this machine. Absolutely no hair wraps around the brush bar. It’s also very light weight, maneuvers beautifully, and the extension wand it perfect. In short, this is an amazing vacuum. It performs as advertised and the value for what you get is incredible. If you have pets, don’t think twice and buy this vacuum.
