This canister vacuum has made cleaning an effortless task. Through trial and error I found that it works best on hardwood floors and carpets alike .Its lightweight design allows me to easily move from room to room and tackle every corner and crevice. The attachment tools are versatile and effective - perfect for keeping my Home and Kitchen spotless. The only downside is that the hose could be a bit longer for reaching high areas. Overall, a great product that i highly recommend..
