We've had this now a year and use it daily in the family room and on the wood floors in the living room where our two dogs do all their shedding. It's been an excellent product that's kept our floors in good shape given all the traffic (two teenage boys, two dogs) in both areas. (We do use the full vacuum once a week, in addition to using the Air Ram.) One suggestion that helps for us. Buy an extra filter if you plan to use the Air Ram daily. It can take two days for the filter to air dry after rinsing. Having a second filter was a necessity. Plus, we replace both filters every six months, which has helped, too.
