I have a 260+-year-old house with the accompanying powdery old house dust. I complicate matters by having 3 large, hairy dogs that like to dump a dog's weight in hair a week. The home is large and I wanted to purchase another Bissel so that I could have a vacuum on each floor. I love the light with this vacuum because at times the floor is unable to be illuminated by lighting. The rewind is wonderful and encourages me to have a safer environment minus trips over wayward cords. The suction is exceptional and I love the accessories. An engineering marvel. Love you guys.
