I purchase this vacuum cleaner a little more than a year and a half ago . I have a cat that shed and do allot of research before purchase this one . I have have vacuum cleaner work great for a little while and they stop work completely so I do not review this one right away , even though I love it from the start . this one have hold up pretty well for a modern cleaner . the power paw attachment be great , but you can purchase it separately for $ 12.00 . the negative ? it do weight allot and hard to carry up & down the stair . both the power paw -lrb- replaceable -rrb- and the foot petal -lrb- not really -rrb- have break since I purchase it .
