First off it really has good suction. The wand and hose are very awkward to use and getting it back in place is not any easier. The last time I used it I had my wife figure it out.

It doesn't have a very wide swath and it doesn't seem to fluff my carpet like my old machine.

It does seem to work well for long hair with no wrapping.

Overall not a bad unit, price is a bit high.
