Pros: It picks up the dog hair.

Cons: A little heavy

We have a Jack Russell that loves to shed. We have never been able to get all of the hair up off the carpet. Now that we have a baby that crawls all over the floor we really notice the hair. We decided we were going to get the Dyson Animal until we g...ot to Home Depot, we had a discount coupon. We saw the Bissell, which was $300 less than the Dyson, so I did a search from my phone and noticed it had more good reviews than bad ones so we took a shot at it. Saved $300! We got it home and it was easy to assemble. I took my dog and started playing with him and petting him in one area, looked real close at all the hair on the carpet, rubbed it in a little and vacuumed. All but 2 hairs were gone. AMAZING! We vacuumed the whole room and let our baby crawl all over with dark pants on and guess what, NO HAIR all over him. LOVE IT! Now we did read how it was not the best to empty and people got the waste it all over themselves, my wife included. I advise everyone to read the directions. I love the one button release for the bottom, but if you have a lot of carpet fibers or really light particles you had best use the two button approach. Basically you can remove the whole canister and dump it in the trash, like most bagless vacuums. As for the weight; it is a little heavy but for $300 less and the pet hair removal ability I think we can stand a few extra pounds. I do wish, and maybe I haven't looked hard enough, they had the low profile attachment to get under our beds and low furniture but again I can live without it. We give it an "A" and the only reason it's not an "A+" is becuse of the weight and no low profile attachment. Read more Less
