Dirt Devil Purpose for pets M140000 Review

I bought this little vacuum cleaner at Wal-mart on sale for $48.00.  What a deal!!!  It is fantastic for cleaning up pet hair from my two little white papillons and a white cat who shed constantly on my dark green carpet.  I do have to keep the little sponge filter cleaned.  I sometimes do this by rinsing and drying it.  Sometimes, I have another little canister vacuum cleaner and I vacuum it clean.  I try to do this every time or two that I use it and it works great!  The hepa filter (the thing that looks like an accordian folded white paper fan in the black plastic) also needs replaced or cleaned.  My husband has taken it out and has blown air through it the opposite way with his air compresser because we haven't ordered any new ones.  It has worked amazingly well for over a year.  I am finally breaking down and ordering some new hepa filters.  Over all a great vacuum that gets up pet hair better than my upright bag vacuum.
