Received the Rocket Pro DLX 2 days ago...tried it out today! VERY PLEASED with the results. We live with 3 long-haired dogs...a Border Collie, a Long-haired Daschshund X Nova Scotia Duck Toller X Chow Chow and a Mini-Aussie X American Eskimo. The fur from the Mini-Aussie X American Eskim is Super Soft and Ultra Fine...and very difficult for any vacuum to pick up effectively. Our old Shark Navigator NV 650 True Pet does a good job of it...on par with our Riccar Upright and Meile Canister Vac with Power Head. Our cordless Ion Duo does OK; but battery power on MAX power is limited. We wanted something for our small sunroom (168 square feet) that we could use daily for keeping shed fur in check...the Mini-Aussie X American Eskimo is a rescue with significant "challenges"...and he has an extra-extra large ex-pen with attached crate in that room...and he and my wife, who has dementia, spend quite a bit of time there. The Rocket Pro DLX is the perfect little vacuum for the job!!!
