    I have really long hair and it’s always stuck on the carpet including my dog that sheds all year. I was iffy about if this vacuum was going to be able to lift the hair and furs from the carpet without getting stuck, but I was wrong! This Vacuum picked every bit of hair and fur no problem! Definitely worth the price! If you don’t have one go get you one ASAP!

    Powerful Suction but Too Expensive

    This vacuum is powerful when first vacuuming but that's all that I can say to be excellent. I think this vacuum is a bit overpriced at $300 on sale. Sometimes it has a hard time standing on its own which is not good if i'm spending $300 on a vacuum. The hose portion of the vacuum is very flawed in design, You have to push it up and try and use it with a long hose that's not very flexible. I will give credit that it did pick up old carpet cleaner powder which was still in the carpet for months before using this vacuum. However at $300 its still an expensive item that doesn't feel like it's $300 material wise. It looks futuristic but most of it is plastic that can bend easily. I ended up returning within 15 days and getting my $300 back, It's a lot of money for a vacuum cleaner so I'll be looking for something else that's about half the price or less.

    Great vacuum cleaner. It is a hefty vacuum, but surprisingly maneuverable, and does a great job picking up everything that shouldn’t be left on the floor.

    Excellent suction, especially to pick up hair, whether human or animal! Maneuvers extremely well! So easy to empty the canister with one press of a button, poof! all the contents in the canister are gone! Love that it is corded so I never have to run out of battery! Go ahead and give this vacuum a try, you will not be disappointed I promise!

    I have the original animal upright and a newer Dyson compact. Bought this and it cleaned up an unbelievable amount 1 day after using the compact in the same rooms. The suction is unreal and the new tangle free head even made Persian carpet fringe a stress free event. Highly recommend for anyone, especially a pet owner.

    Had a previous model of the Animal, and it lasted around nine years. This one seems to have more suction and the beater bar works amazingly well as it's a different/better design - it pulled SO much dirt and dust out of the carpet the first time we used it we were shocked.
