Before I adopted my kitten (with fairly long hair and lots of undercoat), I enjoyed a practically clean apartment. The building is new so I literally dusted it once a week and used a damp mop once a month. Then Miss Lucy came into my life and changed everything. I was about to pull my hair out because the hair was flying around and the little tumbleweeds were floating on the floor! So I decided to buy a handheld vacuum, but I'm on a tight budget so I couldn't afford many. This Eureka vacuum is amazing, especially for the money! I use the nozzle to remove hair from upholstery and corners (even from my keyboard). The best investment! Now I can enjoy my kitten without worrying about her fur!
