It picks up pretty decent, I love the tools on board but after the second use my husband had to take the pet brush apart because it wouldn't roll. This is pretty heavy compared to my Shark but giving it a chance. I haven't had it long. It comes with a Febreeze air filter. The scent lasted all of two times of vacuuming so not impressed with that feature. I have a Chow Shepherd mix, a cat and a Parrot so we shall see if it will stand the test of time.
