I purchased this vac last weekend after seeing a commercial for it before Christmas and waiting for it to go on sale. I was giddy over my purchase and couldn't wait to use it. This vac has serious "Suction"...my husband could feel the floor vibrating from across the room. Assembly was simple...3 screws to attach the handle. I only have a cat, but she likes to lay on all the furniture and the floor, so there is always cat hair on everything. When I plugged it in and began vacuuming, I was amazed...you can hear the debris being sucked up into the vacuum. I vacuumed only a small area of my living room at first (20x10), where the cat likes to lay on the floor...and I had to empty the canister. It had a ball of cat hair the size of a baseball plus the sand/dirt from down in the carpet. I had to empty the canister 4 times for the downstairs. Then I used it upstairs (kind of heavy to carry, but not a big deal) and had to empty it 2 times while vacuuming 3 bedrooms plus hallway. After I finished vacuuming, the carpets looked brand new and they felt plush again! The tool attachments are versatile, great for all kinds of surfaces. They are so firmly placed on the vacuum, that I had trouble removing them. I also used it on the stairs...it is awkward, but I knew it would be before I bought it. It doesn't get very close to the baseboards, but then, there several tool attachements that will. I waited 5 days and vacuumed again...this time I only had to empty the canister 2 times downstairs. I also dissassembled the canister's upper and lower parts and washed them to remove dust that had accumulated inside the componets. It was really dirty! It has a long cord, so I don't have to unplug and plug to finish the downstairs. The hose is longer than most vacuums I've owned in the past, so you don't have to have the vac hovering right on top of you while using. I definitely recommend this vacuum, not only if you own pets, but kids and a spouse, too. I never realized how bad my old vac didn't SUCK, until I bought this one.
