I purchased this Bissell when i burnt the motor of my last Bissell. I have 2 cats and that is a LOT of pet hair! This vacuum is amazing! It suctions deep in the carpet to pull out hair I didn't even know was there. The bare floor setting is amazing- it vacuums crumbs of cat food and hair without flinging it out and pinging your shins. The auto-rewind for the cord is not too fast that it flails around. I really really like the one-touch button to empty the canisters! #sweepsatkes
