Greater than one weekIve only owned this for a day, so Ill update this review later if I need to. I did HOURS of research in my hunt for a good vacuum that could helps us manage my husbands asthma and severe allergy to dust mites. From what Ive learned, people with allergies and asthma need vacuums with (1) a certified HEPA filter (which ensures *clean* air gets circulated out of the vacuum, rather than air full of old dust particles) and (2) a super strong suction that can pick up lots of hair, dead skins cells, and all the microscopic dust mite bodies and poop (which is what triggers dust mite allergies). Vacuums with these features can be incredibly pricey, so while I was absolutely willing to pay more, I was hoping to find something that wouldnt break the bank, if possible. Throughout my research, this vacuum came up over and over again as highly rated for allergy and asthma control and seemed to be one of the more budget-friendly options. So far, this vacuum has absolutely delivered on the features I was looking for. First, as far as I can tell, the HEPA filter is working miracles. Prior to buying this vacuum, my husband would have a horrible asthma attack every single time we vacuumed. This is the first time in a long time that hes been able to vacuum HIMSELF (or even be in the house while I vacuumed) without struggling to breath afterwards. He didnt even sneeze once afterwards. So, for anyone with allergies, this is a must have! I should note that I did need to empty the canister halfway through vacuuming because the fill-line is fairly low. I believe thats necessary to ensure the filter doesnt get overwhelmed and continues to function properly, so emptying more often is worth it to me. However, if you have allergies and no one can empty the canister for you, I would suggest looking for a vacuum with a larger canister or requires less frequent dumping. Emptying the canister definitely wasnt an ordeal - it took me maybe three minutes - but I could imagine that being challenging if I had severe allergies myself. So do keep that in mind. The second thing of note is that this picked up ALL THE HAIR. Both my husband and I have long hair, and Id honestly just come to believe that finding hair everywhere, no matter how often you vacuumed, was just a fact of life. I was hoping that this vacuum would cut down on the amount of hair left behind in our carpets, but didnt have high expectations for its ability to remove the hair that was deeply enmeshed in our carpet. (We need to get rid of our carpet anyway, but I was looking for something to hold us over until we have time to replace the flooring.) But guys, this vacuum got rid of it ALL. I rand my hands across our carpet after vacuuming, trying to pick up or feel if any hair was left, and I kid you not there was NOT ONE HAIR left behind. I could have cried. Do be aware that you will need to cut the hair off the bottom of the vacuum afterward to ensure that the bristle feature doesnt get clogged. However, that was incredibly quick and easy to do and made no mess at all. I think this is a universal truth of vacuums, but if you hate this thought, perhaps look for a vacuum that doesnt roll up the hair on its brush. I will say that UNLIKE vacuums Ive had in the past, which had lots of debris, fluff, and gunk all mixed in with the hair at the bottom, there was ONLY hair at the bottom of this vacuum (the suction is that good), which made it a really easy, mess-free cleanup. So long as it holds up well, I will be singing this vacuums praises to EVERYONE.

> 3 dayLove this vac, this is my second one cus the first one I accidentally ruined (don’t wash the dust compartment with water, I don’t recommend it—it causes the o-ring-like seal around the container to weaken and loosen till it entirely fell off, rendering the container no longer able to seal dust in) So yeah treat this vac well and it will last you years!

Greater than one weekThis vacuum is absolutely spectacular! Whoever designed it deserves an engineering medal. PROS: -Clear simple instructions and easy assembly -Suction is INCREDIBLY strong and is adjustable?! (super cool! and works!) -Lift away feature is EVERYTHING. I swapped back and forth multiple times and it was SOOOO convenient. -Washable filters. -Upholstery tool works! We have two high shedding doggos. Took a little elbow grease for some embedded hair but absolutely got the job done. I like that it doesnt have bristles since all that does is trap hair and creates one more thing to clean. -Everything from the canister clips, canister handle, release buttons, to the power button, are well placed, well shaped, and work! Even the clicks of pieces being connected is clear and slick. CONS (barely) -Weighs a little more than you might expect, wouldnt recommend for elderly folks (although putting it on a rolling cart could solve that) -Wouldnt reach vaulted ceilings from the floor. Perfect for regular ceiling height (Although if youre super short you may still need a boost). -Accessory attachment hindered from getting the wand as far under some furniture as I would have liked and couldnt seem to wriggle the holder off once it was secured on the wand. Super minor and you could choose to not put it on. This thing really blows me away. It just...WORKS! LOVE LOVE LOVE AND LOVE SOME MORE. ❤️

> 3 dayThis is the third time I have purchased this model. I wish they held up a little better. In fairness, my family is a bit hard on items. The last one I had was still usable but our dog knocked it over and after that it would never stand upright which was a pain, so I gave it away and bought a new one. I keep buying this vacuum because so far I cannot find a better one for the price. The bottom portion is detachable making it lighter and easier to clean stairs and use the hose. It works well and the filter is great for my allergies. The filters are a bit pricey to ship when you buy directly from the manufacturer and I wish it came with more attachments. That said, it gets the job done and I would recommend it.
