Have three cats and very house-proud, have used various cleaners before but saw this in action on friends carpet so had to have one, it arrived the next day and when used on our new carpet we couldn't believe how much was picked up and also the difference in pile height and comfort using the gtech ,my Son tried it and ordered one for himself he has one cat but again he could not believe how much better it was, have seen which report proclaiming Dyson is better and have to disagree as we know two people that have used Dyson and have now got a vetch.
