the best ever. my old cordless died, was noisy and basically just terrified the pets! after using this one I feel bad about not purchasing it sooner!  the house is so clean and the rugs are amazing, and the vacuum is very quiet....I'm using it on everything and everyone! I love that it comes with recommendations for other items that are useful to have...filters and batteries. perfect! Just got a spider with it and was able to release him to the yard where he belongs!  Have a love bird so can't use pesticides.. Vacuum is good karma as well.
