Comment:
Is great at getting dog hair, you will have huge hair balls in your canister. sometimes had to run over some hair more than 3xs. On bare floor it didnt seem to work that well, sometimes i felt the particles flinging backwards and hitting my feet. I've bought 2 more of the main filters and i will clean the extra 2 and set aside because it seems they are always plugged. Hose is still really tight,tough to stretch to reach things to clean items. When putting together, had to snap some pieces together and i couldn't do it, small hands and working mom, still had to wait for hubby to do it. shes a heavy one. only get 2 tools. love the longer cord and the turbo tool. bad part of emptying though is your hand is on the latch and instead of the lid opening the other side where your hand isnt, opens at your hand so your hand will get dirt on it, wear gloves. steps...havent tried cuz of weight. but shes used alot during a week cuz i cant stand seeing dog hair anywhere on floor or anything, and shes kept up same suction since ive owned her...owned for more than 6 months. level easy to use, wish had one more setting becaue w area rugs on top of carpets, there really isnt the right setting for it so you gotta kinda wing it. Its a decent buy for the price, maybe if i spent $30 or more i might have gotten more that i wanted, but im fine w this, cuz my luck is it wont last longer than the warranty....if it does, then def. got money worth

Comment:
We have 5 dogs and vacuum every other day. We have ceramic tile throughout the house with area rugs. Overall this vacuum picks up the dog hair, etc. well. The design is awful. There is only one adjustment to lower the vacuum to get under things. It is not low enough to get under much of anything. It also makes it very difficult to go from tile to carpet. We end up picking it up and when we do, the top comes apart. We constantly have to bang on the piece holding the hose on because it come apart. Also, putting the section of the canister that has the filter back on the main collection part is very, very, very difficult! We've had this vacuum for almost a year and we're going to buy another tomorrow.

Weakness
Not intended for people who actually have pets and carpets, Spits dirt and dust and EVERYTHING back into the air and surrounding areas, CLOGS every week.
We bought this 9 months ago and at first it was excellent. Now it is the absolute worst vacuum I have ever owned and that is even comparing it to a $20 dirt devil I once had. When you open it to dump it is a big puff of dust that goes everywhere. Dont plan to accidentally suck up anything larger than a dust particle, because it will clog! You have to reach you hand up to pull out chunks of dirt, carpet, animal hair from around the thing in the middle of the canister and pull chunks from the cord. Weve done everything as instructed when cleaning the filter and everything. The magnetic attachment on the front is always falling off at the slightest turn. It spits things back into the room and air. A complete hassle. Spend a little more money for something else! Now I am 8 1/2 months pregnant constantly having to deal with pulling chunks of dirt and animal hair out of the container. TERRIBLE!
