This is a great vacuum! I have 4 dogs that shed a lot, plus I live in the country and there is a lot of dust and dirt. This vacuum picks up all the hair, and all the dirt. I love the headlights, and the crevice tool is awesome! It maneuvers well and isn't too loud or heavy. I also like the pleasant smelling filter. It's lasted through one heavy duty whole house vacuum and a regular vacuum so far. I really hope this vacuum holds up, as I usually go through a vacuum a year, although the last one lasted 4 plus and was a Bissell as well.
