17 rescue dogs = pounds of fur...everywhere! I love this little vac for furniture, stairs, and so much more. Great suction but it doesn't try to tear the fabric off. Has a brush roll so it's actually pulling the hair that might get worked into the upholstery. Run time on a single charge is excellent for me. Easy to clean out. I will be buying another for upstairs! Thank You Bissell for creating products that actually work for animal lovers and for all you do for the animals. I heart you!
