Just got my vacuum today and used it already. Easy to put together. We have 3 dogs that shed immensely. Just vacuumed a small bedroom and the amount of dog hair it picked up was unbelievable. We just vacuumed 2 days ago, and the canister was almost full with the dog hair we picked up today. I love that it has lights and adjusts to different carpet heights and bare floor. If you are in the market for a new vacuum, I would definitely recommend the Bissell SurfaceSense Allergen Lift-Off.
