Cons: None yet.

The Bottom Line: This is the top dog of all vacuums!

Review: And it sucks in a great way! We have an English Mastiff weighing in at 200 pounds and loves to lay out and shed on our floors. Need I say more? I personally like canister vacuums instead of uprights. We had received the Bissell Digital Pro vacuum ...
