Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I got this vacuum a few weeks ago, I had an old Bissel that went out on me after about 5 years or so. I recently got an Alaskan Klee Kai. He is the cutest dog ever, but dear lord the hair is ridiculous. The Bissel would take 10 minutes to clean this 6 foot rug caked in his hair. I decided to get something that specializes in pet hair, I just couldn't deal with it all over the place anymore. I took it out of the box the first time and thought how nice it looked and went right to the rug. I was astonished. Less than a minute and it was spotless (hairless). I ran it over the rest of my carpet and was pretty grossed out by all of the dust, dirt and hair that it picked up that my Bissel had been leaving behind all these years. I took off the canister with a press of a button, held it over the trash can and with a push of a lever everything fell out, I didn't get anything on my hands. The Bissel would get dust everywhere, I would feel like I needed a shower after emptying it. Also...the auto roll up cord...it just works amazingly. There is an attachment that has rubber at the end of a small wand and when I have hair on my clothes and I am going somewhere nice, I can just run it over what I am wearing and whoosh, hair is gone. No more of those stupid sticky papers or box tape. I really hope this thing holds up for awhile, it's the best vacuum for me and I would recommend it to anyone with pets that get frustrated with hair. I will update this review if things start going downhill but right now I love my vacuum which is a weird thing to say (type). Edit 1/10/16: I am still loving this vacuum. I can't believe the loads of hair this thing has inhaled and kept on chugging. It sucks up anything I throw at it. Cord rewinder still works. Works just fine on hardwood floors. Cleaned the filter out several times (extremely easy). When this vac finally dies, I'm buying another one - no doubt about it. Hoover fan for life now. Just buy the vacuum already... :) Update 2/4/17 The vacuum still works, and surprisingly the cord rewinder still functions perfectly. The loss of suction due to all of the use has made me start to look at buying another one. I'm going to take it apart, and do a deep clean on all of the removable parts to see if I can resuscitate it. If not, no biggie, still a 5 star product and will definitely buy the same one.
