    The vacuum works great although it pulls up a lot of carpet fibers. The carpet is still new only about a year old, so it is unknown if this is normal because of the carpet, or it could lead to a negative as it will eventually ruin the carpet. At this point though, it is too new to tell just yet. Otherwise it picks up great! Read more
