OH MY GOSH what can I say about this vacuum , I  bough the purple one for pets..  it was very pricey at around 500 bucks or more but worth every single penny i aved to get it. i have a dog a big big dog who lives inside and sheds like  enough hair to make a whole new dog almost daily! this vacume will pick up thing that you dont even see, it also sucks up odors?? dont ask me how its amazing. we vacumed out carpet with out old vacume ( which I will leave nameless) because it also is a good company.  and we picked up a lot with our old vac... then we broke out our new Purple Dyson.. and honest to betsy it picke up 2 not 1 but 2 grocery bags more of dirt mostly dog hair. and  its very easy to use and open and empty. when you open itto empty it, you will notice instanty that it traped in odors. as u will smell it as soon as you empty it this is the most amazing product I'v bought in years. thank you for listening
