I have gone through so many different vacuums trying to find one that actually works on pet hair. After reading literally hundreds of reviews I chose the Shark® Vertex™ Bagless Corded Canister Vacuum with DuoClean® PowerFins. This thing is AMAZING! There are so many awesome features like the controls perfectly located on the handle that allow you to instantly switch between hard floors and carpet as well as adjust the 3 different power modes. The design and location of the bin is great as well and emptying it is a breeze. It is literally worth every cent!
