Don't put too much stock in praise. The vacuum has two settings: standard, which gives the impression that it is working, and turbo, which actually does suction, but only for about 10 minutes, which isn't long enough to clean even a studio. Vacuum cleaner debris on a smooth floor with the right nozzle by pushing it back and forth. The engine's exhaust scoops up every strand of dust and hair that has been floating in the air for a while. Definitely not a bargain. Useful for scrubbing up after messy eaters like kids, pets, etc. Do not use on apartment floors.
