(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) This vacuum has good suction and cleans bare floors well. On low pile carpets it is difficult to move the foot around even with the motorized nozzle on; on deeper pile I had to lift the head off the carpet and hold up for it to work. Recalibration did not improve the operation on carpet. The button on the dirt tank does not release the door; it has to be pried open with one hand while holding the button down with the other. All of the connections between the foot, wand and handle are very stiff and difficult to separate and connect. The canister gets caught on furniture and doors and you have to constantly go back and unhook it. It is physically tiring to use this vacuum.
