This is the most multipurpose vacuum cleaner ever! I have 150 year old hardwood floors, tile and carpeting in my home. It's very effective on every surface. I'm also a short statured woman only 5 feet 1inch and the extended reach wand really helps a lot! I have a room with ugly popcorn ceilings and dust and cobwebs get into crevices. It also corners very well. This vacuum got it all with ease. There's a convenient dirt cup thats easy to remove and empty, snaps right back into place. Great power, and super lightweight so easy to carry for this super short 60 year old grandma!. I highly recommend this product!
