I have had this vacuum for six weeks now.  My previous vacuum was a dyson product. This Shark vacuum out performed the dyson I paid much more for in all ways.  It is lighter, I have not had any issues with clogging like I did with the dyson.  It maneuvers very well, and has great suction. I have four dogs and with this vacuum pet hair is no problem. The holding tank is large and very easy to dump, the filters easily accessable. Overall, great vacuum.
