We don't use turbo mode at all. Normal power is enough even for sand. In general, you need to get used to it. For example, due to the design features, the vacuum cleaner draws dirt much better when moving forward, and when moving backward, the rotating brush can scatter heavy particles. But overall, a great purchase! Old vacuum cleaner gathering dust :) Has some pros Ease of use is a major plus! No need to get a heavy vacuum cleaner, unwind the cord. Everything is done well. Shaking out is pretty easy. Got cons: Not that the cleaning process is extremely convenient. For example, when pulling into a bucket or a toilet bowl, the main dirt will certainly fall down exactly as expected, but some of the dust can scatter in a cloud and settle around. Well, the hair is wound on a brush and you have to take it out and clean it with your hands (about once a month).
