This vacuum does exactly what is is intended to do- clean up pet hair. It is easy to move around and has good overall suction for pet hair. The only problem I have with it is that the hose has to be attached when you want to use it and then removed and stored before the base of the vacuum will work again. I like to switch back and forth between the parts so this makes it a little more time consuming. Other vacuums I've used recently are able to switch between these two functions quickly. Other than this, my home remains pet hair free in all of the hard to reach places and my dog sheds a lot!
