This vacuum is awesome and is almost as if it drives itself, of course you must hold on to guide it but that's pretty much all that needs to be done, has such great suction power. The rotating bristles do not hold hair and get all messy like other vacuums. All the hair ends up around the silver filter, and slides off with such ease. This vacuum is also great, for all the messes my toddler makes daily with Cheerios, or connect sand, just sucks everything up with ease, light weight and easy to store. One of the greatest additions to my cleaning routine so glad I got this powerful Shark!!
