I don't usually write reviews and was very hesitant to buy this after reading some of the reviews but I'm so glad I did! This reduces the cleaning time by almost half. We recently got a German Shepherd puppy and he will live at home. Hair! Oh the hair and the grass I swept. I mopped at least twice a day and you never know. Now I start the vacuum and sit on the porch while it does its job. My bottoms have never looked so good, and it's almost effortless on my part. The only downside I've found so far is that it sometimes gets stuck and snagged on the corner of a sofa or fridge. But I absolutely don't mind pulling it out every once in a while and sending it out on the road!
