I chose between r2d2 and a standing vacuum cleaner. I took this one. Came whole, not cracked. It pulls perfectly, the wool , but the carpet is its weak point, it cannot cope without a brush head. I put a nylon sock on the filter, for protection and durability, as everyone recommended. The container is enough for one. I read about the fall of the wire holder, but so far it's holding on, if there's glue and that's it 👌
