Vacuuming became a chore I truly dreaded because I had to manually clear the brush every single time. I have long hair and it wraps around the brush head making it less effective. I'd sit there with scissors, cutting hair off of the brush for 30 minutes once a week. The Shark Duo-Clean Pro w/ Self-Cleaning Brushroll handles it for me. No more aggravation trying to clear the brush. The vacuum also does a great job of cleaning on various surfaces. The design makes it simple to use and maneuver. I'm very satisfied with it!
