I be very happy with how it work . in the past when I have a Eureka and a Bissell , I test vacuum by vacuum the first time , then a second to see how much it actually pick up . the perform the same test a week later or so . I like that the receptacle have a lot of of hair and dirt to empty out on the Bissell and that when I vacumm again it be almost none to empty out . now a day I vacuum a couple of time a week because I have a lab that shed he size every couple of day ! basically , I be very happy with this vacuum : -rrb-
