I was so excited to finally have a sweeper that really worked for me.  It was pricey, but worth it, so I thought. Now, it has only been half a year of light use and it has already defected beyond use!  The electric in the wand stopped working, which means the power to the carpet sweeper and the turbo pet hair attachment are useless! A new wand costs over $100, so that's not a fix.  Go elsewhere. UPDATE- customer service just told me they would replace the faulty unit.  That is great, so I am changing my review.
