For the past 4 years I was using a Kenmore that I just loved. The Kenmore moved out so I replaced with the Hoover. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!I will NEVER use anything else again. My 17 year old Dog passed away June 22nd. The Kenmore moved out in early Oct. I am still finding her hair in the canister...Sad... but amazing to see the difference between these 2 similar priced units.
