All us dog owners know the struggle. Especially during spring. It's April now and my husky is shedding like no other. I've always only owned a shark vacuum. This is my first canister. I LOVE IT. It works great against the long dog hair. If you vacuum at a normal pace and on the right setting for your floor type, ypu will love this vacuum.  The canister does fill up quick but I find that the suction doesn't decrease. There is a part in the cannister that the hair wraps around. It doesn't seem to cause a problem. I just have to physically remove the hair from it. But still no complaints. I've already washed my filters and replaced them.  I've had absolutely no issues thus far. Thank you, Shark!
