Having two dogs and two cats my hunt or a vacuum that lives up to its name seems to be never ending, as soon as you think you have found a vacuum that is going to live up to the task you are soon finding out that this is not so. Then I was recommended this model, after setting up the machine which was really easy and quick, I Found that not only did this model pass my high expectations in leaving my carpets and floors really clean and free from pet hair,but it was a joy to want to do the hoovering again.I have been using this model for sometime now and it still is living up to the task.It has a selection of on board tools which also make any task a lot easier.The only downside to this model is it is a little on the noisy side, but as I'm sure you will agree I would rather a little noise over pet hair any day.I certainly recommend this vacuum to any pet owner, you will be so glad you made this choice.
