Before buying it, I stumbled across this website and read the reviews. The one thing no one seemed to mention was how well it picked up pet hair, using the attachment, which is what I wanted it for. I wound up buying it, and I have to say, it is amazing! I had no trouble putting it together or converting it into its various configurations. There is absolutely nothing about this machine that I do not love! It works great on hard floors, ok on carpet (but I use my standard upright for this), and it is totally AMAZING at picking up pet hair off of furniture! I would recommend this machine to anyone looking for something with incredible suction that works better than anything else on bare floors and getting pet hair off furniture, beds, etc. I came across this vacuum at my local Tuesday Morning on sale for $49.00.

My husband brought this vacuum home and said give this a try. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G on hardwood floors, carpeted floors, any floor!! It gets ALL the pethair from everywhere!! I have never been so excited about a vacuum EVER! I love this product. I give it a nine out of ten. (I don't care for the tippiness of the upright.) We have six teen boys, three cats and three dogs.

I believe Tuesday Morning also sold this model for about $40- $50. I originally thought piece was missing but it was already attached (air dam). I agree with most of what was written above, the first 10 minutes was figuring out how to keep the canister on, then taping the hose mounting plate parts together. With no expectations on carpeting after reading the other reviews, I was amazed what it did pick up so easily. Especially kitty litter and hard food morsels. And, when trying to pick up tracked kitty litter in the bathroom, it did so quickly and completely without spitting it out in all directions (and I had a big pile, sucked up quicker than I could get a wisk broom). It was a pleasure maneuvering it around the corners and furniture. So lightweight and nimble. Only big drawback is disassembling the unit to empty bin. Perhaps this will get much quicker through time, getting used to connections. Used canister only with pet brush briefly. Did very well, but cannot imagine cleaning wall to wall rugs this way. Would like to see if I can get used to canister cleaning to get rid of the less powerful dustbusters. This will now be my everyday and beyond vac (I have mostly tile), and will supplement the thicker rugs in the bedrooms with Hoover Windtunnel to get deeper clean.

I read the reviews after purchasing. Read the directions (which could have been clearer) and was able to be using the machine in about 20 minutes. WOW! All the good things I read in the reviews are true. Terrific suction, great ease in vacuuming, very light weight. My old vac (some Eureka crap) was a monster -- it took a team of men to lift it. (Just kidding, but it was a heavy beast.) I can hardly wait to use this vac on my car. It did a swell job on my carpets and bare floors. I had no trouble learning to "steer" it at all. What a cool addition to my cleaning tools. The only cons are that it seems cheap -- like it could easily be broken. I also don't like that you have to totally remove the canister to empty. And the power switch could have been put in a higher spot. I'm looking forward to the next generation of these vacuums. Just purchase one of these “Mother Ships” yesterday.

It has great suction and the hand held brush worked great and thought it was great that every time you used it on the furniture that it did not get stuck or slow down. We previously had a Eureka Altima and it was a piece of junk. the belts wore out in no time, the filters didn't catch anything, and it was loud... not to mention it was big, chunky, and many of the attachments failed, like the hand held brush. with a house filled with two dogs and a cat that shed horribly, this thing has no trouble picking it up and the five filters the air must pass through do a great job of keeping the dust from escaping. Its very quiet and lite. the only complaint is that it is a pain to empty but that's understandable with the fact it is a multi vac. we have previously bought one and i think it is a wonderful vacuum.
