Let me paraphrase by saying that I had to return this vacuum--reluctantly. I have 2 dogs and a cat and it worked great on the furniture and the carpet. It works just as good if not better than a Dyson which is what I replaced the Bissell with--again reluctantly b/c of price. This vacuum would be perfect if the design was changed somewhat. The handle on the vacuum is designed leaning forward which throws the balance off...ok this would be fine as well if they would have incorporated a shut off switch for the brushbar. See what happens is when using the handtools the balance of the vacuum is off and it rocks forward and the brushbar digs into the carpet, this caused areas of fraying to my carpet. One simple on/off switch would have solved this problem, just a design flaw. Otherwise this vacuum in my opinion is a Dyson slayer. The Dyson DC-17 I have ($150 vs $500) doesn't do any better and the handtools don't work as well BUT the balance is better and the brushbar shuts off when using the handtools. Buy this vacuum and save a lot of money is you have hardwoods or low profile carpet. (Just so you know even on the highest floor setting the vacuum still dug into my carpet. I still have to recommend this product though.
What's great about it: Ease of use and vacuuming power
