The Shark Rotator  Pet Lift-Away ADV Upright Vacuum works wonders around our home. It was very simple to setup and use. It is very durable and I'm sure can take a beating. We have a few pets that shed around the clock all year long and what's great about this vacuum is that it really  grabs the hair and sucks it in with ease and without clogging. It also doesn't wrap up the brush like you may expect letting it do the best job it can do. I love that I'm able to remove the canister to bring up and down the stairs. Just makes it that much simpler. You can do wonders with this. We definitely  recommend!
