We have 2 Beagles that shed a lot, I was amazed with the amount of dog hair that the vacuum picked up! Pros: The lights on the vacuum & on the wand, great suction, light weight. Cons: Short power cord and it's at the very bottom of the vacuum, tips over easy while standing-up when using the wand, small canister, when used on cork flooring the brushes get both sides but theres a space in the middle the it doesn't pick up (I'm sure it's that way on carpet as well I can see it better on the cork flooring), harder to push and pull on carpet than our other vacuums.
