I got this to use every day as I have a dog who sheds a lot. This stick vac does an amazing job of picking up hair and pet dander. My only quibble is with the original batteries that came with the vacuum: one refused to hold a charge. I called Eureka and they sent me 2 replacement batteries as a courtesy and now my little vacuum lasts long enough to clean three good-sized rooms and the sectional where my pooch likes to hang out on one charge. Love it!
