Most of my house is hardwood flooring but I have carpeted staircases with pretty long carpet. I got tired of hauling a vacuum to get the pet hair off the stairs and decided to try handheld vacuums. I tried several before landing on this one.
Pros
The cord is long enough that I don't need to switch outlets at the bottom of the staircase.
The silicone brush cover thing works really well to grab dog hair in long carpet.
It holds a lot of fur and debris so I don't need to empty it too frequently (I can finish the whole staircase without pausing to empty it).
It suctions strong enough that it picks up the fur and small pieces of paper and general debris.
It's light and easy enough to use on my furniture as well.
It does a great job of cleaning my stairs.
Cons
Because the carpet on my stairs is so long, it requires a lot of arm work to get the dog hair out (way more than a standing vacuum but about the same amount of effort as any other handheld vacuum).
The power button is on the tip of the handle so when I'm vacuuming my stairs and hit the right angle, I accidentally hit the power button to the top stair and turn off the power randomly.
Overall, I recommend this. It does a great job. Of getting the dog hair. I tried several other brands prior to this one and this one did an outstanding job.

EX-TERMMM-I-NAAAATE....hair!
Oh boy, do I have a lot to say about this thing and order in general. First things first, let's talk about the actual vacuum itself. Actual Product Review: As you can see in the pictures above, there are 2 before, 2 after and 2 showing the canister after. Keep in mind I have very low patience and that sheet covering his dog bed is a queen sized sheet, wrapped around it sloppily to kinda help keep the actual Serta dog bed I bought for my dog in as great of condition as possible. I say this because the sheet is very loose and it got very annoying trying to hold it down and tight to allow the vacuum to do it's thing. But any where it'd cooperate (and even where it wouldn't, for the most part), you can see that this thing worked and it worked pretty great if I do say so myself! I do feel like if I had continued, it would have had no issues getting a majority of what I left behind. Now I gotta play vacuum my floor with this little thing since it works so much better at picking up his dog hair then my actual vacuum does. Will probably look into getting a better one of those sometime too! Nice little thing to note is the dog is terrified of my floor vacuum, after all, he's a dog - right? This I had him get off his bed and he actually came over while I was vacuuming it to see what was going on. He was scared, but at the same time he was more curious as to what was happening to his bed and/or maybe if I was getting hurt by this thing. Kept coming up and "nose bumping" me which is his thing to get my attention and/or wake me up to let me know it's potty time. I'd totally recommend this based off of my limited time with it and hoping it lasts at least a year. I feel at the price point, I'd be happy getting at least that out of it, anything longer would be icing on the cake. Of course I'll come back and update if I have any issues with it. Review of Delivery/Packaging: I order off of Amazon a lot and I gotta say I've never had an experience as I did today in regards to the delivery. I get notified that my item was delivered, so I go to the front door to get it. La la la, open the door and no package! I think that maybe it's at my side/carport door, so I check there. No package?! I then walk from there to the front door and notice something brown in the middle of my drive way, near the sidewalk and a good 20+ feet from where 100% of all my other packages have ever been delivered. It was my Amazon package! The delivery person basically got out of their vehicle and just placed it at the end of my drive way, out in the open for anyone to easily steal. NEVER had that happen before! I do the little "how was your delivery" thing and they don't give an option to explain what happened, so I hit up live chat. Just told them of my experience because obviously if the delivery person did this to me, he's probably done it before or will do it before. Not like there were any obstructions or anything to warrant that kind of delivery. They notate it and I go on my merry way...so I thought. I end up opening the package a little while after and while I bought it from their Warehouse (used), it stated it was "Condition: Used - Like New - Item will come in original packaging.". I took that as ya know, having original packaging and probably having everything that came with it, or at least the extra little grey nozzle this is supposed to come with at the very least. I mean, doesn't state it does, but doesn't state it doesn't neither, so I felt it was pretty safe to assume what I assumed. I open it up and there's nothing "original" about it. The vacuum and the cord that's attached to it are in a "sealed" bag. No packaging. No other nozzle. No paperwork. Nada. Not sure if this is my first time dealing with a "Warehouse" item; I wanna say it isn't? But this is the first time I've ever had it so blatantly falsely advertised that it's making me skeptical of ever risking it again. Images provided for this as well. I will say that Amazon Customer Service is the tops and more than made sure that the over all situation was rectified and I felt like a valued customer. It's one of the main reasons I shop here and would be the only reason I'd risk a "Warehouse" buy again.

I have one white, short haired cat. He has the softest coat of any animal I have ever known, which also means his hair is impossible to get off of EVERYTHING! It floats in the air, it lands on everything & I have yet to find a lint roller that can effectively remove ALL his hair from my furniture, clothes, my life in general. And trust me I have tried a lot! I have 2 air purifiers in my 900 sq ft house, vacuum daily (I'm a bit of a clean freak) and still can't keep things cat hair free. So I bought this vacuum to add to my arsenal of cleaning items in the hopes of finding a solution.
PROS
1. It has great suction & does effectively suck in the hair on the spot you're targeting
2. The cord is super long
3. It's not heavy, easily can handle it with one hand
4. Ideal for areas where you wouldn't be able to use a lint roller; i.e floor boards of your car. The holes are big enough to suck up debri other than animal hair.
CONS
1. Like most vacuums, the motor kicks out a blast of air. Which then stirs up the cat hair around the areas where your vacuuming. So your constantly having to go back over what you already vacuumed because the hair floats up & then settles back down.
2. It's very loud
3. It's more work than using a lint roller. Let's be honest, if you have animals, your still going to have a lint roller. You need them for your clothing. So while a lint roller is just as effective, it's not always doable for the blinds, or hair that sticks to certain fabrics & blankets. That's when the vac comes in handy. So this vac isn't going to be your one stop shop. But more of an addition.
Attached a photo of my red cashmere & fleece blanket that I use while laying on my sofa. It's my fav blanket, which also means my cat likes to lay on top of it (and me) when I'm lounging. The left side of the pic; I used the vacuum. The right side I used my go to item; the scraper case for my Scotch-Brite Reusable lint roller. The scraper took me half the time & did a better job of getting more hair off the blanket. But then I used the vacuum to suck up all the hair. So while I'm not saying one is better, I think they work great as a team.
2nd photo is of the hair that collected in the vac after using it on my blanket & my sofa. It's been about a week since I last did my usual cat hair removal.
I just used this product for the 1st time today. So my review is based on that. I'll update later, if anything changes w/ the vacs performance as time goes on.
