After using the Shark Rotator upright vacuum I like how clean the carpet gets throughout my house. I like how it swivels and can get under things with ease. It is easy to assemble once you have it out of the box. It is a bit heavy but it gives you a little workout when using it. It's upright so easy to store in a small area. It is also easy to clean when you have to dump the dirt from the compartment. I've always liked the Shark brand and this vacuum is definitely one to have with or without pets.
