We recently purchased 2 of the Cleanview Pet Slim Corded Vacuums, at our 77 year ages. Our ranch home is 1100 square feet with the first floor carpeted and kitchen area with solid oak flooring. The full basement is 1/2 carpeted. Our carpeting is of medium dense/plush pile. The brush roll along with great suction, does a magnificent job. Maneuvering around is very easy, too. Cleaning and replacing the filter, along with the dirt tank, is a breeze. The attachments that were included, was a nice bonus! Follow the directions in the manual and you will be a happy camper.
