I bought this because I needed a vacuum with the option to turn off the beater bar and adjust the height for my wool area rug. I love on the hard flooring it doesn’t blow hairs away as it approaches. Sucks them right up.  The regular carpeting in the bedroom got way cleaner than I was expecting after one use with this. The only reason it isn’t 5 stars is due to the maneuverability. The suction against the floor (both carpet and hard) is so strong that it surprisingly difficult to push around.
