I have been told shark vacuums work good but I wasn’t sold due to the prices, but i bought s house that is all hardwood floors besides area rugs i put down, sweeping became a chore so i gave in and bought one. It was the best purchase i made. This sucks up my 2 dogs hair that you can’t even see. It also picks up my hair i have long hair and regular vacuums it gets all tied around the brush but not this one. Id recommend this vacuum to anyone with pets or kids.
