Dirt Devil MBV2030 Bagless Stick Vacuum

I have nice hardwood floors all throughout my house, I also own a dog who's hair falls out everywhere and all the time. So every time you clean the floors, ten minutes later, you walk around and see a million black hairs ("needles") everywhere. They get in socks, they get blown onto surfaces, and they are basically everywhere. Sweeping is pointless, while it does get the hair, it fails to get dust and dirt into the pan, and it's a pain to have to go all through the house doing so. Vacuuming with a traditional vacuum on a daily basis is a pain, because of the size and weight and immobility of the vacuum (not to mention the cord). Therefore I decided to buy the Broom Vac. It looked really appealing in the commercials and judging from online reviews, but upon getting it I wasn't fully satisfied with it. To begin, battery life isnt all that great...I was only able to finish the living room and the hall and it died, and had to go back to charging. Then there was the frustration of trying to get it to pick up little pebble like dirt/rocks, because no matter how many times I've tried, no matter how many ways I tried to tilt the broom vac, it just wouldnt pick up. But on the contrast, it gets the pet hair like a dream, and it's design and weight is much admired. Overall, it's great, but isnt a whole 10.
