This vacuum is the worst vacuum I have EVER purchased. A waste of almost $300 that I saved up particularly to buy one. First of all the LED lights on the front are not helpful at all, more frustrating than helpful. Secondly, if you are going from a rug to a wood floor the vacuum just flings dirt and debris everywhere. Regardless of how short the carpet fibers are. You have to have the vacuum perfectly level with the ground to pick up anything and even then it mostly just flings dirt everywhere. The lift off feature is fine but also somewhat useless. and the brush and hose feature barely works. Do not even use this vacuum.
