Although the suction force is undoubtedly lower than that of a standard vacuum cleaner, this shortcoming is made up for by the use of electric brushes. After that, I went out and purchased a flexible extension hose as well as an electric nozzle equipped with a soft roller for floors. This was necessary due to the fact that the whole universal electric brush made a very loud drumming sound on the laminate. I hung it up in the closet because it doesn't take up much room. * I would award a good bonus to an engineer who worked on the packaging design (I won't describe it in words because you will see it when you buy it). I included the photo after I unpacked it, so it doesn't do justice to the overall beauty of the item because. I was not able to put everything back.
