I never write reviews.  But this Shark Rocket Pet Pro Cordless is such a great tool that I have to write this one!  A friend recommended the Shark brand to me.  I have two furry pets and 3 males who never take dirty shoes off before entering the house (and we live in the country so there are plenty of dirty feet).  I needed a powerful vacuum.  We have two other vacuums, one of which was quite expensive and designed for pet hair, but the Shark outperforms both. I love the lightweight design, the swivel feature, its ability to go flat to get under furniture, and its power.  The charge lasts more than long enough to clean the whole house.  It is easy to empty the canister.  And no cord to get tangled up!  Well worth the price.
