This is simply a fantastic vacuum - I want to give it 5 stars, but it needs a bit more tweaks in development before it's worthy of a 5 star rating. Read on to learn why this is a 4 star vacuum in my opinion. PROS: it works AMAZING. It has STRONG suction, pulling up a ridiculous amount of dirt, debris, fine pet dander, hair, etc. I am frankly quite impressed by how this vacuum does with suction and more importantly, maintaining suction over time. A HUGE fan of this vacuum for that reason. Another pro: the canister is easy to remove and empty, the filter is easy to replace and clean, the number of included attachments is GREAT, there are a few choices, they come on a nice stand/canister. It is SUPER easy to use, goes easily around and under almost any surface, works fantastic on WOOD floors and carpet and tile and vinyl, and I used this as a sort of wet dry vac for deep cleaning hardwood floors with the included Floor GENIE attachment, and it worked SO WELL! I LOVE this vacuum.

The CONS (why I can't give it 5 stars) - it turns TOO easily. Basically this is because the vacuum is top heavy so the weight swivels quickly and easily from left to right, and seems to favor swiveling left - this is great but also annoying because it causes you to turn when you want to go straight. That just means it takes a bit of extra hand/arm coordination to move it around, although it self propels so NICELY that it almost cancels this out. But it IS a bit too top heavy, so it loses a star there. Also figuring out how to remove the vacuum from the included canister stand wasn't intuitive: even with a release bar and a button on the vacuum that says 'Lift Away' was still, honestly, a bit difficult to figure out that you needed to do BOTH things at once to remove the vacuum. But once you figure it out, no big deal.

Seriously, this vacuum has AMAZING suction, and the 'True Pet' version comes with additional attachments and better filters than the regular Rotator Lift Away version, I would recommend the 'True Pet' version, and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this Shark vacuum. It's not perfect, but it's pretty darn close!
