I be really please with this vacuum ! I have hardwood floor and area rug and this really be do a awesome job . I have a riccar that I be constantly have repair prior to the Bissel Cleanview and my area rug have never look better ! I have two dog and two cat , so there be always lot of shed to vacuum ! the dust canister be very easy to empty . at first I be not sure if the vacuum could be all that great because of its low price . I order it anyway thanks to the good review . I be so happy I do !
