I have tried several brands of stick of vacs and handheld vacuums and never found one that had enough suction to replace my full size vacuum with attachments. Well the Shark Rocket Pro did just that. I have two long-haired, white cats. They shed everywhere. I vacuum my furniture daily. The hand held vacuum cleaned my furniture up quicker than my large vacuum. It has a light on it so it really helps to show if I missed a spot and is light weight. Highly recommend this to everyone.
