I have been using this vacuum for two weeks now after my previous vacuum broke. After using the Clean View Swivel Pet, I honesty wonder how long my previous vacuum had not been working so great. I cannot believe the amount of stuff it has pulled up from my carpet. I have two cats, and it has pulled up every ounce of cat hair, plus more than I even knew was there. I go over all my apartment twice, and each time it pulls up more stuff when the carpet already looks clean! I'm floored! It is easy to maneuver, the cord rewind is a god send, and it works AMAZING! I will say it is a heavier vacuum, so that may be an issue for some. Emptying the canister is easy! Super happy with my purchase! Thanks Bissell!
