I received this vacuum for Christmas, and I absolutely love it. I have a long haired cat and he sheds like crazy, so I was super happy to use this vacuum, it picks the hair right up and doesn't leave it tangled around the brush head.The pet upholstery tool works wonders getting all of the hair of our couch and recliner too. Super easy to use and when your done the easy empty canister just dumps right into the trash can. I highly recommend the Hoover WindTunnel to all my friends and family.
