I agree with some of the other review about the product be make cheap . I think it do a great job on my carpet , but in just a few month , the foot pedal start pop off everytime I use it . without the foot pedal , the vacuum will not stay upright without fall over . I think this could be a great product with some minor change in the design , but I would be hesitant to buy this again . I have only have mine a year , and I be already look to buy a new vacuum .
