WOW! I went to BBB today and bought the Shark professional Rotator vacuum. It said it was good for pets! I just finished vacuuming my rugs. Can not believe the amount of hair it picked up along with dust. And I just vacuumed two days ago. I'm sold. It came with several attachments even a car detailing set. It is a little heavier that I thought it would be but I think the amount of suction it has out weighs that drawback. Even has two LED lights to "light the way" It listed for 259.99 and I used my 20% coupon I had. I did not get a steamer yet (couldn't make my mind up which one to buy. I will go back later and will take another look at the Shark Steamer. Thanks for all your help. So even on this rainy day I think it was the right choice to make a trip to town.
