this vacuum work well , and the power paw be amazing . it get animal hair off the furniture and rug that be otherwise hard to clean . it be great on bare floor and carpet . the only con be that it be pretty heavy to push on thicker pile carpet and the attachment hose be short and very springy , so you have to drag the whole vacuum with you , but the telescoping attachment help with that . overall , it be great for the price . I just can not spend $ 500 on a Dyson , it be against my moral .
