I bought this specific vacuum to help me with vacuuming up cat litter and dog toy stuffing that is on my new carpet. This vacuum is great! It vacuums everything up quickly and totally. My home burned down last year so lost all my Bissel products, now that I'm back in my home this new buy is amazing and doing the best around for me. It's not as light as I hoped. I'm disabled and need easy to lift products but it isn't as heavy as others I've borrowed. Thank you
