I have long black hair that always gets tangle in my previous vac. With this one it doesn’t get caught in the brush like it did the other. Most of it goes straight into the dust container. Love the steering, super flexible and easy on the wrists. So much more power than the cordless vac and picks up way more!! I used to vac every week with my cordless vac but 5 minutes with this thing made all that look like nothing. Only thing I’d need to adjust is the ability to vacuum the rugs. It’s so strong even when it’s on the portable setting, my rugs still gets disarray. It’s a little on the heavy size but nothing like the older vacs and much more convenient than the two separate piece vacs. It was pretty easy to assemble. The instructions were very easy to read. Ai was able to buy a ‘used’ or ‘cosmetically’ damaged one but it was only an opened box and the product was just repackaged poorly and it might be missing an attachment or two but not like I was going to use them anyways so I got a good deal… still… it’s worth the full price. I would pay full price if I were to get this again because it’s that worth it.
