This is the best handheld vacuum for pet hair on fabric surfaces. It does a great job on my pet beds, sofas, chairs, car seats. Anything with fabric, leather or upholstery. The only negative is it blows air out the "blow hole" and swishes hair on outlying hard surfaces around. I wish they developed something that did not do that but it is a master on what I used it for. It's easy to clean and has a super long cord. For the money, it is well worth it for the purpose I use it for. Plus being a dog owner, I want to support the Bissell Pet Foundation with their products. If it didn't work, I wouldn't buy it, but it is awesome for my needs. I have 5 Labs that shed, so I use this all the time on their beds, and the furniture . It works great.
