    Best vacuum we have owned. We have golden retriever who sheds more than Chewbacca. We also have a mix of hardwood and carpet, so wanted something that would easily work on both without attachments etc. this does exactly that and it’s a beast. We have a Dyson v7 and it’s not even close. The Dyson is noticeably lighter, but I’d rather have the extra 2 pounds or so and have a really powerful vacuum. The auto adjusting speeds, based on how dirty an area is, is clutch.

    The calcium works well. I especially like how you don’t have to open to clean it out. Just set it on the charger and slide the lever. It sucks all the dirt out.

    Lightweight and very convenient to use. Dust/dirt removal is so easy and neat. I don't have to vacuum after I vacuum. Suction, I have had better in vintage Electrolux canister, but they don't seem to make them that good anymore. And this is way easier to use.
