No joke, this is the best vacuum I have ever used hands down! It sucks up everything! It easily goes from carpet to hardwood floors. It has a setting for both Hardwood and carpet. It easily gets into corners and get the floor grit free. No need for a broom anymore. It has attachments and turns into a handheld vacuum. I love that it has a deodorizer on it. It makes the room smell nice as you're vacuuming. On the carpet it self propelled which makes it glide easier to vacuum. I could go on and on. This vacuum is amazing and you need this in your life seriously.
