I've had my new vacuum about a month and am overall very pleased.  I've had a Shark vacuum for years and this one was a good replacement.  I have two very fuzzy dogs with lots of hair and it does the trick! The only issue I have is that, while the suction is wonderful, even on the hard floor setting, I cannot vacuum area rugs.  The suction is too strong for them and the roller gets jammed up.   And, it is heavier than my former model.
