Emptying the cup isn't so much fun

Pros: Really does clean the carpet and lets you know where the dirt is with an indicator light

Cons: Taking the cup out to empty is a dirty task. Dirt flies around everywhere.

I didn't get to experience this vacuum brand new since it was my fiancee's who had it for a few months before I met him. He told me the reason he bought it was for the "pet hair sucker", which is an attachment with special brushes that spin and it really does get pet hair off furniture very well. I use it on the dog's bed and it comes out like brand new.

As far as performance, this vacuum really does a good job, and gets the carpet clean. There is an indicator light which tells you where the dirt is. The only thing that I don't like about it is when you empty out the cup, a ton of dirt flies out and all over the place. Sure, it's a bagless vacuum, but at least with the bags, the dirt stays inside. With a dog around, I have to empty the cup everytime I vacuum, and normally I have to vacuum again around the place where I took the cup out because of the dirt spillage.
