Bought this a couple of months ago. I was so surprised how well it lifted the cat hair out of my carpets and rugs. I used to struggle getting these out. Even after I thought I did a good job with my regular vacuum cleaner, I then went back with the Dyson V11 and was so surprised how much more it lifted out. I can't believe that I was living with so much fine dirt under the carpets. Very happy customer with this product. Well worth the cost.
