I decided to get this vacuum because I have pets and I always see dog hair. My old vacuum wouldn’t pick up the dogs hair and I would end up sweeping afterwards. With this vacuum I pass only one time and it’s gone. The first thing I love is the light weight of it and how easy it is maneuver around the house. Secondly, I love the little light feature the vacuum has attached because I can see the floor better. Once I’m done, I empty the canister. If I need a handheld vacuum it easily comes apart. It’s cordless, so you have to make sure that you charge it. It shows you how full the battery is when you connect. Keep in mind that because it’s a lightweight small vacuum you do have to empty the canister a bit if you are doing your whole house.
