This vacuum works great! The suction picks up dog hair really well(my dog is constantly shedding yellow hair). The hand took extension with the motor works well at picking up dog hair off of the couch, when the other tools can't get it. The dirt cup is easy to empty and the filter is easy to wash out, dry, and replace. My only issue so far is the motor hand tool didn't work that great at getting the dog hair off my car floor, but that is a different material than the sofa.
