It it 4 star or 3 star? It is the most quiet vacuum I have ever used and picks up so much more in my carpets and my tile then previous vacuums including my Shark. I have Saltillo tile that was poorly laid and each tile is at a different level so truly there may not be a vacuum that can pick it all up but at least I don't have to sweep, vacuum and then sweep again. Hard to say. Wish it came with an extra wand as the it can "reach" 10 feet but my arms can't so I have to use a step-stool.
