I'm almost embarrassed to leave this review! I had a vacuum and I had used it the day before I received the WindTunnel Tangle Guard Upright Vacuum. Upon receiving the new vacuum, I used it on my carpets and I was SHOCKED to see how much dirt and dust and hair it picked up out of a carpet I thought was already clean! I love that there is a light on the bottom of the vacuum head, it really helps pick up every little bit of dirt. And the tangle guard is amazing! I have long hair down to my lower back, and I've tried other vacuums that promised not to tangle. This is the first one to actually come through with that promise. This vacuum also has two speeds for picking up messes, which I haven't seen before in any of the ones I've owned before. Definitely a great product from a great company. I have raved about it to all of my friends and family already!
