    Best... vacuum... EVER! Did quite a bit of research and even went to store to test drive this and the newest model. Hands down, the best vacuum we've owned. This has better suction and easier to maintain that our second gen animal corded vacuum. Easily mounted to wall, attachments are great. This is the vaccum you've been ssearching for.

    Doesn’t deserve 5 stars die to the battery life sucks! I swear the older version seem like it lasted longer, NOW I’m Not sure if the green light that shows the dirty and dust advertised actually works but I definitely havent seen it. I works great on pet unseen hairs. My carpet looks 20x better. Besides having a dog if you have long hair or a whole full of girls, much needed. I wish it came with more tools to get in between the areas that need something slender.
