Pet hair on the stairs used to mean dragging out the handheld, but this thing glides around corners so smoothly I actually look forward to vacuuming now. The HEPA filter is a huge plus for my dust allergies, and it picked up deeply embedded dirt from the carpet in one pass that my old upright missed
The swivel head is a lifesaver for getting around chair legs and corners without having to lift the whole machine. I’ve run it over the same spot with dog hair three times and it pulls up stuff my old vacuum just pushed around, and the HEPA filter keeps the air from smelling dusty while I work.
