I have a kenmore elegance, it was the consumers choise 2 years ago. Its was about $300 and I dont like it. It is a bagless because every 2 days I can fill the canister with 2 huskies hair and the hair left over from grooming a few dogs a week. I would like it a whole lot more if there were no filter in the canister as every time I fill it you have to stick your arm in the canister which is filthy and pull the hair away fron the filter, a pain. Great suction though. I originally when to buy a dyson, but my fiance got sticker shock. lol. The vacuum may work better for different kind of dog hair as husky, or shepherd type dogs have really fluffy undercoat. Im sure with beagle ot lab hair it would work a whole lot better
