I've had this for only about a week and I love it. I have a very tiny house (575 sq ft) with hardwood floors, ceramic tile and area/throw rugs in the living room, hallway and my bedroom. My 3 small dogs are always tracking in dirt, etc from outside and my Persian cat, sheds year-round. This little vac picks up every bit of pet hair from my rugs and dirt in corners, along the baseboards and even cobwebs outside, on the overhang over my front door and around the outdoor light fixtures, too, effortlessly. I also used it outside on my front and back door mats and in the corners of the stairs that lead up to my front door--I never was able to clean those before properly, without spraying with a hose. I had been using an ancient Hoover canister, that quit working, so I bought this and am so glad I did. My house is really clean now, inside and out. And at a fantastic price, too.
