Bought to replace the old Vacuflo Carpet Cat. The Turbocat has been completely redesigned and is much better than the previous model. The bottom cover is easy to open for cleaning. Stronger than Carpet Cat; it actually drags the device across the carpet if you let it. It also has a lower profile, making it easier to fit under furniture. It even comes with a parts list so you can order replacements if needed. One problem we had was that once the pet hair was removed from the carpet, it was collected in small swaths and not vacuumed. Sometimes it takes several passes to fully absorb the hair. Or you can try a second pass with the carpet tool (smooth bottom, no brush). Recommended.
