I am a mom of three. My kids never had fur animals growing up bc I am allergic to everything. They grew up, moved out on their own & they now have fur animals. I am the proud grandma of two dogs & three cats! Life happens & sometimes kids move back home & bring their fur animals. Kids then understand why they never had fur animals not bc mom didn't want them but bc mom couldn't survive with them. Until one of my kids found this vacuum. THIS IS FOR REAL! I vacuum everyday to remove pet hair. I do not touch the hair even when I empty the container. I clean the container & hoses with soap & hot water. Let them air dry. I DO NOT HAVE TO GET SHOTS & I CAN STILL BREATH! THIS IS THE BEST! My kids can keep their fur animals & their mom. For me I am greatful!
