WOW. I am seriously blown away. We had a Dirt Devil Endura Max before this, and it must've picked up nothing because we vacuum very frequently since we have a dog, and when we first used this Shark, it picked up SO much dirt and hair. It doesn't spit anything back out like my old vacuum did. The features are exactly what I need. The swivel is nice, the pet brush works great, and it's easy to empty and maneuver. Hoping this one lasts!
