" ... Incredible vacuum for dog hair. ... "

" ... I own a Hoover cyclone vacuum cleaner and this is just like a smaller version of it. ... As with any cordless vac I only use to spot clean as I don't think you can replace a corded vac for true cleaning. ... "

" ... I really love this cordless vacuum and use it daily. ... It is so easy to use and works so well that I rarely feel like hauling out my heavy full-size corded vacuum! ... I like that I can power down for bare floors and power up for our carpeting. ... I also appreciate that I can go under furniture a lot further than with my corded vacuum. ... I actually enjoy vacuuming when I'm using this thing. ... It's satisfying to see how much it gets up off the floors. ... "

" ... Although it is light weight, the brush collects whatever is vacuumed, cat hair, fibers and it stays on the rollers. ... "

" ... I use this almost every day for over a month now and it really picks up fine dirt and dog hair! ... "

" ... I've had the vacuum for a while now, and I really like it. ... "

" ... The overall build and finish of the vacuum looks kinda cheap, which is why I rated it 4 stars. ... Otherwise it is a good vacuum and nothing has broken so far. ... "

" ... Cordless, plug in charger, clear dust container so you can see when it needs emptying, lightweight, works great! ... "
