When it first arrived, I was worried that it didn't look tough enough for my needs. I have 2 fur beasts (a dog and a cat) that keep me busy cleaning. This is the second Hoover vacuum I have purchased in the last 10 years, so I was hoping that it was as good as the last one. This vacuum is tough enough and it is so perfect. I love the different settings to choose from. I love the superior suction. This vacuum is so easy to use and makes vacuuming fun. I really enjoy using it. I love the quick charging battery. I am so glad I purchased this vacuum.
