Finally a vacuum that I actually enjoy using! I have always bought Bissell products and have always been pleased with the products (vacuums, carpet cleaners, air purifiers) and Surface Sense Allergen Pet Lift Off Vacuum is fantastic. What makes this vacuum special is the fact that I no longer have to fiddle with changing the height for carpet then change for bare wood floors - along with the constant bending over to reach the dial. This vacuum does it automatically and does a wonderful job picking up fur my dog sheds along with all the dirt my boy tracks into the house. Love the lift off canister, so much easier to do the stairs now, and the fact that with the dusting brush all you do is hit a button and slide it down to use (no more wrestling having to pry the dusting brush off the wand). Thank you for a great product!!
