I purchased this about a month ago after scouring sites for Bissell, Shark, Dyson and Hoover. After owning 2 Dysons I needed a lighter vac and one that could handle long pet hair. Spending a fortune again wasn't an option so after reading 5 star reviews I ordered my Hoover. Best, best decision I could have made! Light weight and easy to maneuver. This vac sucks up pet hair and brush doesn't get tangled with hair. Cleans like a champ and better than the Dyson! Buy it!
