My mom brought her vacuumcleaner up to our house to see how well it would work on our carpet...old 70's berberish stuff, that dog hair stick to like glue! It was amazing. I don't remember the exact model, but it is a Kenmore (Sears brand) with a Hepa filter. It also works well at her house, with their longer, 80's style carpet, to clean up after 5 dogs.
