Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We're a family of five with five pets (four cats and a red heeler) and a house with only hardwoods. I've always purchased the traditional upright vacuum models, but even the ones that boast being "heavy duty" and "for pets" have not been able to handle the sheer volume of crap that I have to vacuum. I go through at least one vacuum per year. Yes, I've considered lightening my load, but I can't find anyone to take my kids. Kidding, relax, y'all. Anyway, I've already swept the house today and I've been going hard with this machine for the past couple of hours. I mean I've done the mattresses, door frames, windowsills, vents (inside and out), bed frames, baseboards and I'm telling you, this thing is AMAZING. I'm beyond thrilled. The machine has a long cord as well as a long hose so I don't have to switch between outlets too frequently. It only came with one bag, but I'm going to attempt using without once this one is full. It's also incredibly easy to maneuver. The wheels are smooth in all directions and don't get stuck awkwardly. It just flows with me. The suction is powerful. I had baking soda all over my queen-sized mattress just now and was able to remove just about all of it within a few minutes, no problems. The insanity inside the floor vents was cleaned out within seconds. I'm actually having a lot of fun. Hahah. Anyway, I've only had this vacuum for a matter of hours, but I absolutely adore it and felt compelled to share my enthusiasm. I'll update if I manage to destroy it, though.
