Suction is good but the old lady is difficult to push except in rooms with thinner carpet. The rolls are wrapped with longer dog hair. I had to cut it out after a space because the indicator turned red indicating the reel wasn't spinning. I had only run the vacuum cleaner two days before so it wasn't too bad. With this arrangement of the canister forward you can't hit anything. I really like my Shark Rocket, but this one is questionable.
