So far, so good with my new LG Stick vacuum.  I bought this vacuum about three weeks ago.  I'm amazed at the amount of dog hair the vacuum gets off my hardwood floors and area rugs.  So nice to have a lightweight vacuum that does the job and is easy on my back.  Only time will tell whether this vacuum will hold up to the wear and tear of having a dog that sheds constantly (which is why I only rated the vacuum 4 stars instead of 5 stars).  Having two batteries is a definite plus as I almost always use the Turbo feature of the vacuum to get up pet hair.  I do wish the vacuum came with a floor brush and a small sofa brush.  The only downside at this point is that I vacuum a lot more than I used to vacuum!
