Preferred use is for non-carpeted flooring b/c the suction is so strong that it is difficult for me to push/pulll on even a low pile area rug. Intention of purchase was to quickly & easily clean my large area of tile, hardwood & garage so I am very pleased with this stick vacuum's performance. Easy to change attachments, empty dirt cup and charge, which by the way lasts a very long time! LED lighting on several attachments & tangle free brush roll on the main part is a "game changer". Only thing I would hope for improvement of the product would be including a storage bag for all of the wonderful attachments.
