Dare I say that I like this vacuum more than my uber expensive high end brand that I also own? This vacuum is very light weight and so easy for me to use around the house. My other vacuum is very clunky and heavy. It sucks up everything with ease. I have lots of hair  around my house since my daughter and I both have long hair plus we have two gold retrievers that shed a lot. The hair does not get stuck around the vacuum rollers like other vacuums. Thank goodness! This has been a huge problem with vacuums around here!
