Edit - 12/02/18: I still love this vacuum cleaner! It works just as well as the first day and it is very easy to clean the filters every month. I think it's great that you don't have to buy anything on the go without the bag. Also, I received new deep pile, heavy pile carpets a few weeks ago and I was a little concerned that they would stick to this vacuum cleaner based on the reviews some people have left on the carpet page, but I've had no problems. with this vacuum! I just use the first setting and don't stay in one place for too long. When I want to remove trickier things like dog hair from the carpet, I use a special motorized pet nozzle that works very well without snagging the carpet at all. You will not be disappointed with this vacuum cleaner! A little annoying is that if you push the vacuum around a lot, the crevice tool will sometimes fall off (which you will because it's so flexible and all over the place), so just make sure it's really glued in place. there when you put it back. I also like how easy it is to take everything apart and put on new fixings. Everything slides and fits so well and it feels solid. Due to my dog's double coat, I vacuum once or twice a day so it really worked. I would buy this vacuum cleaner again at any time! I'm one of those people who meticulously research all of my purchases before making them, and this vacuum cleaner is no exception. The reviews were great but this vacuum exceeded my expectations. It's light enough to be vacuumed comfortably, but has considerable suction power. Before I got my American Eskimo Dog, I had an inexpensive laptop computer and he proved to be second to none with his prolific coat change. I was nervous because a lot of models, especially pet models, had a lot of negative feedback about hair getting stuck and having to stop and remove it multiple times during each vacuuming session. This product was amazing and I have never had a problem with anything especially tangled hair. I also have long hair (about mid-back) that frizzes all over. Sometimes I wonder how I got them on my head. This vacuum cleaner picks up everything like a champ. I clean the roller after each session just to make sure there are no issues, but it really isn't even necessary. I have a 650-square-foot apartment with tile (kitchen and bath), laminate flooring, and some rugs (two of which are thick, shaggy ones that my dog likes to rest on). The motorized True Pet Nozzle cleans them like new in minutes. You'll be amazed (and possibly appalled) at what he collects from rugs. I empty the canister twice in one session when vacuuming the entire apartment, which is great considering how much it collects. I can't tell you how nice it is to do everything with this vacuum cleaner. It's a dream to move, change attachments, and even take off the top of the handheld for personal use. Everything goes in and out easily. I had trouble attaching various parts to my previous vacuum which was very frustrating and resulted in broken nails and an annoying experience. Also, it would overheat and shut down several times during each session, so I couldn't use it to clean the whole apartment at once. This model never overheats or loses performance. You don't realize how important these little things are until you get something better. The vacuum cleaner has two suction modes: powerful and tornado (not really, but you'll see how powerful it is). But not too loud, which is very nice. It also has washable filters, so when combined with a bagless canister, you don't have to spend money to replace these items. The price of around โฌ200 seemed a bit high at first but after looking around and seeing how expensive the other models cost and compared to how amazing this one is I can't imagine using anything else. Cleaning becomes a pleasure. It stores perfectly either on the floor (you remove the top handpiece and hook it underneath) or on the wall. It takes up very little space and frankly looks good so you don't mind if it's on view. There are also lights on both the main ground mount and the portable mount which are awesome. You can see all the little dirt and debris, and you can even vacuum in the dark if you want (picking up dog hair is actually almost easier in the dark as these lights work well, especially in corners). The vacuum will not disappoint you.
