We needed a pet vacuum as we have 3 dogs and 2 cats. Pet hair is so hard to get out of rugs and our sofas. I went with the Hoover Pet Windtunnel and I am so glad I did!! We have gone through so many vacuums through the years because they burn out and they don't last very long. We have had this vacuum for over a year and it is holding up great! It has great suction and removes all the pet hair from our furniture and rugs! It comes with multiple attachments so that you can use the right tools that fit your need for the task at hand! It works great on rugs and hardwood floors as it has level adjustments on it also. I highly recommend this vacuum if you are looking for a great pet vac for your household!! 100% worth the money.
