I got this to get rid of hairs on the carpet of my tiny studio apartment. I really like the fact that it's powerful, and has a pretty long cord. But I'm going to talk about two cons for my consideration.First, hairs got tangled on the rotating brush (i have long hair), as happens with many other upright vacuums. It would be nice if you can remove the rotating brush to clean the hairs that got stuck on it.Second, the manual says you shouldn't wash the filter, however, just after one use, it seems to me impossible to thoroughly clean it without washing.
