I really like this vacuum. It picks up and holds a lot. It is light weight and easy to use. Easy to empty the canister. It also does get most of the fur off the furniture. Good suction, keeps picking up even after using for over 10 minutes. Worth the price, but I did wait for it to be on sale, lol. The retractable cord is the best too! That was a deciding factor when I bought it. I very much dislike having to wind a long cord after vacuuming, and with this vacuum I just hold the button and the cord is tucked in. Strong suction, it catches all the dust bunnies. With an easy release handle/wand to get any dust or spider webs up high. I'm happy with this purchase! Read more
This vacuum really pulls up the dirt and the pet hair in our carpets. It does a great job on hard floors, too. Easy to handle. No tangles from pet or human hair. Read more
This vacuum has a lot of features that help to keep your place clean. It has a "floor" light, to help you see the dirt. The crevice tool is also lighted. There is a brush attachment which works great on fabric types of surfaces and it have a pet attachment to get up all the fur, plus. There are two filters, with one being a sponge - which makes is super easy to keep and get clean with water. The other is a HEPA filter. both of these filters are easily accessible. The dirt cup is clear do you can see when it needs emptying , plus it opens on the bottom with the push on a button. Which allows the dirt to easily fall out. There is a hook to hold the auto rewind cord for when you are using the vacuum. The cord is rewound by just pressing a button. There are even yellow and red markers on the cord, so you know when you have pulled the cord out and are getting towards the end of it. You can have the tangle free brush roller on or off with the press of a button, to allow for multiple surface cleaning. The handles, there are two are comfortable and make steering, moving and lifting the vacuum, easy to to. The only downsides, that I was disappointed with are the actual heaviness / weight of the vacuum -is a bit more than I anticipated, the length of the extension wand and the brace on the extension wand. The extension wand hose length is a bit on the short side vs my prior vacuum and the extension wand has a bracket on it, that makes getting under things with it, more difficult. The bracket adds to the width/height of the wand, which means you have hold the wand side ways or other - to get it under smaller height openings - such as under dressers. Besides those few minor downsides, this is a great vacuum that with a little effortless care, should provide great cleaning and last a long time. Read more
This was a great spenditure for me. This price was high, but the vacuum works excellent for dogs! You have to clean out the filters, but it sure works on floor and furniture. Read more
Shortcomings/complaints: The hose is waaay too short/taught, and the center of balance seems off- like it's top heavy somehow. Almost every time I try to use the hose, even for stuff within arm's reach of the vacuum, the slightest tension on the hose pulls the whole machine over. The vacuum being detachable from the head is advertised as a feature when in reality it's pretty much a requirement any time you want to use the hose. I find this awful on my back, and it could have been much better had they given the hose a just a little more length. Maintenance is alright, except for the brush rollers- Any time something gets caught in the rollers you have to take the vacuum head apart with a screw driver and remove something like 5 or 6 small screws- having to do this multiple times in the same cleaning session is a huge time sink. Small random stuff (like tiny candy wrappers) that shouldn't be an issue to vacuum end up jamming the roller, adding to the frustration. I sucked up a bobby pin on accident and it ended up cracking the plastic housing that a screw on the head mounts into, and now it makes a horrible grinding and rattling sound any time the brush is turned on. I've sucked up hundreds of bobby pins with a dozen different vacuums, and all those survived just fine, but the first one this one tasted took it out. Good stuff: The tank is easy to empty, and the filters are easy to clean and replace, which is a plus. The lights on the vacuum head help you see all the little bits that you might not see otherwise, which is a feature I greatly appreciate. Conclusion: It's an okay vacuum, but has some glaring issues that will have me looking elsewhere when the time comes to replace it- which I feel is going to be much sooner than I would have hoped for how much this machine costs (not satisfied with the value for money). EDIT Hose randomly tore open at the base, making the whole unit completely useless after less than one year. Worst investment in a vacuum I've ever made. Read more
I currently have a dyson v10 animal that I got for my grandma and myself with our 2 cats. During long cleaning sessions the vaccume would run out of battery and my grandma's dyson DC 14 is too old in age. I went with a shark Navigator didnt work with the cat hair. Went with another shark the shark lift away with power fins I liked the construction but didnt agitate our large area rug enough to dig into the pet hair. Then got a dyson animal ball 3 too heavy and too much suction for my grandma to push when she needed to vaccume. Ultimately set on this the bissell I love the stronger motor but what I love is the solid construction for the price ease of use and pet tools. I love the ability for me to provide maintenance on it without having to take it to a dedicated shop. Carpet agitation and ability to pick up cat hair is amazing. The suction on our hardwood floors could be better but this vacuum on rugs is absolutely amazing. The power in my opinion is kore then enough. I would recommend this product howver evyone has there personal preference. Read more
