I have been using typical Sanitare Commercial vacuum cleaners for home cleaning for 30 years. Love her! I thought it would be just as good, maybe even better, because of the ability to vacuum baseboards and stairs with hose nozzles. nope! You should leave the vacuum cleaner on the carpet or somewhere else while using the tools. THE FAN DOES NOT STOP TURNING! He tore pieces of my carpet where the bat used to be. Cover for dust bag. WILL NOT TURN BACK ON. The power cord is thin and flat, so twisting it is a mess.
