Great! 2x's a day use cleans up after 16 cats!

This little vacuum is the answer to my needs.  I have to vacuum cat hair, tracked clay and clumping litter from my tile floors twice a day and this vacuum keeps going strong for at least a year.  I've never had the motor break down, but the floor attachment wheels break and that's what ends the vacuum for me.  For the wonderful price I don't mind buying it every year or so.  Under normal household conditions I imagine it would last much, much longer.

In my heavy use conditions I do have to at least knock the fine dust off the filter once a day, but dont' need to wash it very often at all.  I fill the canister up with every use.

It's a bit loud, but it's strong and keeps my home clean.  I can even use it for a carpeting touch up before guest arrive and it does a nice job for a stick vac without any beater bar.

This vac is a must have for my 16 cat home!
