Hoover - WindTunnel 2 High Capacity Bagless Pet Upright Vacuum - Purple

I live in a 1 bedroom, fully carpeted apartment with a Lab/Pit bull mix who sheds year round, and I myself have long hair; my old vacuum just couldn't take it anymore. no matter how often i took it apart and cleaned it, it just wasn't doing the job. I found this Hoover vacuum on sale for under $100 and took the plunge and splurged. I am so glad I did. This vacuum has serious suction. it has adjustable floor settings-bare floor and 4 carpet settings. the bare floor and low carpet settings are insanely strong. i started out on mid level carpet (3) but switched it down to 2 just to see and it was like I deep cleaned the carpet! the attached picture shows how much the vacuum picked up in just my living room, and I had vacuumed 2 days earlier with the old one. The powerful suction makes the vacuum feel heavy but it isn't unwieldy. the power pet hair attachment is like a vacuum on steroids and I was able to pull tons of dog hair out of the pet beds and the couches. There are 2 negatives: the dirt cup empties at the bottom and the conical wind tunnel shape makes it really hard to get clumps of pet hair out without banging it against the garbage can or sticking your hand in. the hose for the hand tool is very stiff and I'm hoping it will loosen up with use.

Got this vacuum cause my old one wasn't doing a good job picking up the dogs hair from the carpet. It did an excellent job. Has a powerful suction. A good buy.

Minimal assembly out of the box. Decent sucking; hose is a bit short however.

I like this vacuum because it is easy to navigate. It picks up dirt and dust pretty good. And it is easy to empty.

This vacuum works well with cleaning pet hair on the hard flooring.

My Hoover Wind Tunnel beats any heavy, expensive vacuum I've ever used as a Care Giver

So far so good! Hopefully I want have any problem.

I just adopted a great pyrenees and they shed A LOT. All my old vacuum did was push the hair around on the floor so I decided it was time for a new vacuum. After looking at various vacuums I almost ended up just buying a cheap one at Wal-Mart because I didn't expect one within my price range(less than $100) would work much better than one around $50-$60. Boy was I wrong!! I decided to invest in this one with high hopes because of the great reviews that I read and it has greatly exceeded my expectations. You can actually feel the suction power as you're pushing it and it gets the long dog hair out of the carpet and off of the sofa with ease! The suction is so powerful though it is a little bit of a forearm work out maneuvering it but I don't mind! If it can maintain this level of suction throughout it's life span I will buy this particular vacuum again and again until they no longer make them. If you're even the least bit hesitant, I say go for it and try it! You will not regret it. Attached is a picture of how much stuff it got off of my living room floor in one use, AFTER first going over it with my old vacuum.
