We've had this vacuum for a couple weeks now and I must say I'm impressed! It sucks up WAY more than my ridiculously expensive Dyson and doesn't lose suction even when the canister is pretty full. My only very slight complaint is that I wish the hose was longer. It's hard to reach on top of my fridge to vacuum or to do my upper cabinets. But since it's only used occasionally for that it's not a big deal. It does a great job of getting all the hair that my golden retriever leaves everywhere!
