Sorry but i can't think of anything that satisfies me about this sweeper. I have used a Dirt Devil sweeper for the kitchen carpet and bare floors many years and was totally satisfied with it's performance,it finally quit,that's what made me purchase this. Save your money,it's horribly loud, the exhaust blows over the floor and dust goes everywhere.I'm going to shop for another brand small sweeper,what has happened to quality control?
