Eliminate pet hair from your carpets, floors and upholstery with this versatile bagless upright vacuum that features pet turbo brush and contour tools to help get the job done. HEPA filtration helps remove airborne allergens for a thorough clean.

I really wanted to believe in this vacuum. I have 3 kids under 7, a cat and a dog and I loved the reviews and the bagless concept. I was impressed the first month as it really seemed to be working. The attachments worked great with a nice long hose. So far, so good. Even when the squeaking started at 2 months it still seemed to be cleaning so I ignored. By 3 months it was clear that it was picking up little to none of the pet hair without repeated passes across the same carpet. Now I was annoyed.
As I fell out of love with it I realized that: it doesn't come close to cleaning up to the baseboards; the "pet hair eraser" is a joke - like I want to stop cleaning 6" from the wall; it is stinking heavy to carry up and down stairs; I was never able to empty the canister without spreading dust and dander everywhere; the removable filter inside was equally as messy to clean out; while the HEPA filter reads as clean the "old dog" smell started at 4 months and remains after changing filters and heavy cleaning; after using the hose it doesn't return to it's "new" shape and drags the floor as I vacuum.
Admittedly, I am not a regular vacuum person; I aim for once per week. The truth is this machine has had little wear for how quickly it turned into a lemon. Choose another model. This is not your vacuum.

What's great about it: Has a long cord and hose with great accessories for cleaning
What's not so great: VERY HEAVY, does not clean all the way to the edge, squeaking & quick to lose suction, messy to empty
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
