I have been a homemaker and full time professional 65 yrs and owned many vacuums. This is the best I have ever owned. I wish I had it back when we lived in the country with dogs,cats, raccoons and etc plus 2 active boys. I love how it deep cleans. I was shocked the first time I used it to see what we had been living with. It cleaned and picked up cat hair and pieces of cat food by her dish that my other one would spit out. Light weight easy to maneuver and so easy to empty. I love being able to wash the parts and the filters there is nothing negative to report. It was very easy to put together in about 5 minutes. I recommend it to everyone.
