Based upon the great reviews of others, I purchased this vacuum cleaner to rid our house of dog hair and other dirt left in our carpets by our existing vacuum cleaner. It has not disappointed! From day one, it has sucked up all kinds of stuff and I feel that our house is cleaner and my sinus allergies are better. Since allergy tests found that I am allergic to dust mites, I purchased this unit in lieu of the series of shots recommended by the doctor. Even though the unit is remanufactured, it looks brand new. In time our family will learn how to use the extensive set of attachments that came with the unit. I am extremely pleased with the performance, durability, suction power, overall design, versatility and ease of use. I have recommended this unit to many friends who have pets.
