Because of this vacuum, I've become one of those strange people that uses it on a daily basis. I have four lovely cats, and the amount of wool they produce is ridiculous. The continual aculation of wool into the floor was lost on me until I purchased this vacuum cleaner. In fact, only after cat fights and in the corners did the shreds become evident. The amount of cat fur on the floor was shockingly revealed by the beam nozzle. The wool was simply sucked up by the vacuum, and now everything is wonderful. Not that this is the most vital concern; any vacuum in this price range should function as expected. The convenience of this item lies in how simple it is to operate. From "oh my God, how many hairs on the floor" clean to "clean again" 12 hours pass. I just didn't think things were that horrible. The joke, though, is that using this device to escape is really easy. :D
