Absolutely thrilled to bit's with this machine. Lightweight to carry up stairs, the powerful suction is really unbelievable, seriously. My wool carpets were flattened in heavy traffic areas, this vac lifted the pile, revitalising the look of the carpet.Brilliant on hard flooring, headlights are ?? cool. Can't miss any crumbs. Got dirt out of carpets that I thought were clean. Brilliant machine ,great tools come with ,also small power head, had to pay extra for that on my old well known machine. Don't even think about it ,get one you will be amazed just how good it is, fab price as well.
