This is a very impressive vacuum. On the first use, I was startled (and a little disturbed) by the amount of filth it sucked out of my supposedly-clean rugs. I have three cats, and the pet-hair attachments really do what they're supposed to. The design is good and the attachments are easy to get at and use. The dirt container is much easier to empty and clean than the one on my old vacuum... of course there's still a fair amount of dust involved in the process but nothing like having a filter that needed to be tapped clean each time!
Assembling the vacuum was pretty simple, there is one tricky screw in there but nothing I couldn't handle... although it would've been MUCH harder without a magnetic screwdriver.
Only downside is the weight; it's over 20lb and not easy to lift. I have a very small house so this isn't an issue for me, but could be for an elderly person or anyone who has to haul it up and down stairs. The weight is not an issue when pushing it... while it's not self-propelled, the motorized brush roll gives it a very noticeable assist.
I didn't give five stars across the board because the turbo-brush seems to have stopped working. It still picks up but the brush roll doesn't turn. However I think there may just be some string wrapped around something so I will withhold judgment until I have a chance to take it apart and investigate.
Overall I am very pleased with this product and would definitely recommend it to anyone who has pets that shed!
What's great about it: Really sucks up the cat hair!
