2 cats, 1 toddler, and the vacuum still wins !

Purchased this vacuum several months ago, and love it just as much today as I did then.

I have a toddler - dry cereal everywhere model, and 2 cats (1 short hair, 1 medium hair) - shed everywhere models, and we live in a fully carpeted apartment.

I usually run this vacuum twice a day to deal with all the food and fur issues, and other than the time consumed by having to shake out the internal filter each time, I really like this vacuum.

The clean canister is great amusement for my toddler - he likes to see the fur fly around in there, it's relatively easy to clean as well.

The double filter really cuts down on the dust around the apartment - no clouds of dust following me around as I vacuum.

The long cord allows me to do more than 1/2 the apartment from one central outlet, and is easy to wrap back around. The body of the vacuum has a quick release feature to instantly unravel the entire cord which I really like.

My only complaint is that the internal filter needs to take a real beating to get it to come clean - and unless you do so outside, you end up throwing a ton of dust into the air when you clean the filter.
