I love this vacuum! I've never owned a canister vacuum before and this makes me feel like I've been vacuuming wrong all these years. I have wool areas rugs, one is thick shag, tile, wood, and linoleum flooring. It does a beautiful job on all of them. It's so quickly shifts to a powerful stair vac, too. A click of a button and I can get under the ottoman, buffet, dressers, and bed and store it in a small place under shelves in a closet!
