I have a daily vacuum that I thought was getting the job done. But wow was I wrong. When I first received my Bissell pet vacuum, I put it together with ease, and started cleaning a area rug I'd only had a couple of months. And it was unbelievable how much this powerful vacuum picked up. The attachments are a great asset and the hose length is just enough to reach our nine foot ceiling. And Using the detachable canister is a lifesaver for those hard to reach areas. I highly recommend the Bissell pet vacuum.
