I bought this vacuum about a month ago, I vacuum at least three times an hour, rugs area, rugs, and hardwood floors. Yes, three times an hour. I refuse to let dog hair sit. I own a German shepherd and Husky mix, imagine the shedding. I’ve gone through vacuums, the way people go through sneakers. This is by far my favorite one and worth the price. I’m able to get under my couches without effort. It’s fantastic.
