I really think this is the vacuum for pet hair and carpet!! I felt it performed very similarly to my Dyson when I had vacuum set close to the carpet. I do think it would be a little difficult to use for tile and don't love how that worked for that, but for carpet I was really impressed. I tried using the attachments for my carpeted stairs and felt I could get into the nooks and crannies that my Dyson couldn't. I also enjoyed the nice carpet lines left from the vacuum. Felt so clean!
