I've had this rug for 2+ years now. Lots of foot traffic, a dog, 2 cats, a spouse who spills things constantly. This rug IS a performance rug. Spills wipe up quickly and that's a plus and it vacuums really well. . I've used a rug doctor to clean it the last year because it was overdue and it held up well. The only thing is - the color is fading on the brown diamond pattern. I don't know if from the constant sunlight in the room or the weekly vacuuming, but it's more dull, faded, and worn out.
