Just a fast and honest statement. This Vacuum really does a terrific job! We have three pets(Dog,2cats) I have always vacuumed everyday with the bagged Hoover Vacuum. We got this new Mach 3 (bagless) and WOW what a difference.   It works so well. Picks up the pet hair and you know the carpets are  REALLY getting clean!  It is also so easy to empty  the dirt cup and you can not help but, feel great about all the debries that you see it has picked up. LOVE IT!!!!
