Bissell 37604 Lift-Off Revolution Pet

In comparing feature for feature the Bissell Lift-Off Revolution Pet with the Dyson Animal and comparing cost ($175 vs $400) I found the Bissell to come out far ahead. The ease of use, the effectiveness of cleaning, plus the easy to use and clean bins, filters and body make this the ideal vacuum for the budget-minded cleaner. When we purchased this one, we had 10 cats and 3 large dogs plus a garden and frequent guests coming over. This sweeper managed all these challenges flawlessly. Periodically, the tanks and inside filters must be washed out and dried before use but it's so easy enough to do in the sink that there is no bother. The tank with hose and attachments is lightweight, making cleaning steps a breeze even for a person who can't lift much weight. The hose and attachments make cleaning ceiling corners and under furniture a breeze. Mine is still going strong after 3 years; I can't recommend it highly enough.
