Ok Vacuum to start but Eureka Pet Vacuum is better

I bought this about 6 months ago. Initially the vacuum suction was good. It wasnt great, but would do the trick. I could never use the pet attachment, it just didnt have enough suction to do anything on furniture, pet bed or the carpet. I have berber so its harder for a vacuum or attachments to work better on it. The bagless portion is bad, but I imagine that portion would be difficult with any bagless so not neccesarily just with this vacuum. I have since gone back to bags because all the pet dander and dust would come spitting up at me as I try to maneuver the canister in to the trash. Then hair would get stuck up around the filter so I had to reach in and try and get that all out, by the time Im done trying to empty the canister, you would have dust and dirt all over the vacuum.
The pet attachments seemed like a joke to me. It didnt work. Theres not enough suction for it to work. So I tried to use it on stairs and furniture but it did just a marginal job. After a couple months the carpet started spitting dog hair back out at me on the floor. I noticed the floor brush spinning part would stop spinning on its own and only spin if I moved the vacuum. Tried fixing this but it just got worse and worse, even after completely taking apart the vacuum parts of the brush and cleaning everything. I ended up tossing it away after buying the Eureka Boss Pet Lover Vacuum and the suction is just way more than this one, and the pet brush on that Eureka Boss is the first one Ive ever seen that actually is its own roller, thats how much suction that vacuum cleaner has. For the exact same price as this one, I would pick that one any day over this one.
What's great about it: Cleans floors in the beginning
What's not so great: Pet Wand doesnt work, Bagless Feature is super messy clean up, hair gets stuck in the filter section
