This works as advertised. With the swivelled vaccum head and long handle it turns easily to get the job done faster. The one click dirt cleanout is a nice feature as well compared to older models. The powerhead also auto shuts off when it encounters resistance which is good when cords, curtains etc get sucked into the brushes. The only negative is the lack of powerhead height adjustment and the lack of suction control. On rubber backed carpets it suctions itself to the carpet and the brushes won't spin. An option to adjust the height or decrease the suction may overcome this.
