This Vacuum is amazing. I've only had it two weeks, but it works better than I ever would have imagined. I have 5 dogs, 2 cats and a bearded dragon. It's shed season right now. Well, shedding worse than normal. This pulls the hair right off the couches and straight up off the floor. We used it on carpet last night for the first time. It did a fantastic job clearing the carpet of pet hair and human crumbs. I highly recommend this if you are struggling like I've been finding a vacuum that lasts longer than two to three uses and overheats. Literally, I've bought at least six vacuums in the past two years. All of them labeled "pet". None of them could hold up to the use or abuse I've needed them for.
