Very good at picking up pet/ human hair off carpet, and doesn't seem to get as easily clogged as our Dyson.
This is a replacement head, as the motor in the first one died after 2 years - probably because of a plastic bag that was sucked up and not cleared immediately (lesson learned).
Pulling the roller out to clear long hair etc could be easier - requires care to disengage/re-engage the toothed belt on the end of the roller.
