i was so excited about this vacuum. used one time and here are the results. 1) jammed immediately and then proceeded to jam over and over again. 2) does not move easily on area rugs and barely has suction. 3) with two batteries only got about 20 mins of vacuum time. 4) recommended i clean the microfilter after 10 mins.

if you have any pets, forget about it. 

again, lovely for hardwoods. style is also amazing. just not a good overall vacuum for anyone with pets.
