wow -- this dude really can clean ! carpet , rug , bare floor , and anything one would clean with the accessory wand be no match for it . I have another Boss that I buy over 12 year ago and be still use it , but when I move into a two story home , I decide I need something on each floor . I read the review , and settle on this new model . I be not at all sorry . as I say , it be a cleaning wizard -- and it be a good value . the only down side be its handling . it be no sport car in this regard . it be heavy and sometimes hard to turn , and the cord -lrb- very long -- a plus -rrb- do not retract . as a 70 year old grandmother , I would prefer a sport car to my sedan , but I do not drive one -- and I do not vacuum with one either . if you be look with great cleaning with good value -- and can live with the awkward handling -- this be a great vacuum .
