so far , so good . I be tire of spend a lot on vaccuum that do not pick up the dog hair -lrb- or much else -rrb- . I buy this base on consumer report review and have not be disappoint . it pick up the pet hair , and be a great price . it be a little heavy to push around , but nothing like the Kirby I use to own , and do not hinder I from use it . I do not know how long it will last , but for the price , I could afford to replace it with another frequently . it do the job .
