This is the second little dirt devil that I've owned. I loved the first one, but after many years the collection bag got a hole in it, and the cord started to fray. So, I bought the Vibe3. Wow, what a great little sweeper. This one has the brushes on the bottom for carpet, or I can just run it on bare flooring without the brushes. It even picks up cat hair, really, really good. I'm just blown away at the amazing power this little guy has. I would definitely recommend buying it.
