The suction power and sealed system are superb. However this vacuum has the same flaws as every vacuum I use regardless of brand. I own two Siberian Huskies. On day two of using this vacuum the front wheels bond up with hair to where they wouldn't spin. I find it hard to believe that this vacuum was built "with pet owners in mind" when it has the same flawed front wheel system has my other two Shark vacuums and my Dyson vacuum. I really hope they deal with this at some point.
