content: I have owned this sweeper for nearly two years and I use it everyday, several times a day in my household with three small children and two cats. I bought it to replace a Shark Cordless Sweeper and I consider the Bissell to be much better as well as quieter than the Shark. The sweeper works well on the kitchen (cork) floor to pick up food and debris as well as hardwoods to pick up dirt and hair as well as carpets to pick up dirt and pet hair. Love it; my floors would be filthy without this sweeper.
