I bought this vacuum so I would have to carry a vacuum upstairs anymore. I have 2 labradors. This vacuum does not work if you have lots of hair to pick up even though it is marketed as petpro. The hair gets twisted around the filter and never gets to the dust cup. This reduces suction immediately after starting to vacuum and you have to empty the vacuum to fix this even though there is nothing in the dust cup. This is the first time I have been sorely disappointed in a shark product.
