It goes quick and maneuvers well. I was at first concerned it wasn't picking up the pet hair (reason why I bought this) but it seems to spin it down faster than what I'm used to, as I took my old one that is about to die over the vacuumed area and nothing picked up, so it was a true test and I am very happy with it and what it can do, and its lighter than my other which is helpful also! Looking forward to having this for years to come.
