I had a stick cordless vacuum that was constantly clogged by the hair and kibble bits my dogs leave around - so frustrating! Bought the Onepwr because of its claim to be good with pet issues and guess what? It IS!!!!! The tube seems to be wider than the cordless sticks and the bin is so much bigger and allows you to vacuum a few times before having to empty it. SOOO much nicer. Very easy to clean the brush if needed though I really haven't had to yet. Very pleased!
