This vacuum really exceeded my expectations. For the price it works very well. We have 2 dogs that shed everywhere. Decided to run the vacuum before sweeping to see how well it works. Picked up a lot of dirt, dust and pet hair. We run the vacuum cleaner twice a day. As a result, our sweeping effort has been significantly reduced. I turn it on first thing in the morning and it doesn't wake my wife or my 5 year old or 2 week old baby. So I would say it's pretty quiet. Nothing has stuck here yet. It doesn't have the features of some high end robot vacuums but retains its cleaning power and is VERY worth the price.
