With a little baby crawling around I wanted the floors to be extra clean. After getting this vacuum I haven’t thought about selling my rug anymore. It glides over the rug easily. I can even hold the baby and vacuum the house.” —Gamechangervacuum

“Honestly was not really sure what to expect when I ordered this vacuum. I was looking for a floor scrubber mop to help me keep up with the drool messes our very large dog makes on our hardwood floors when my husband suggested this machine. I am glad he did, not just does it take care of the drool spots even when dried up but it also eliminates the need for prior vacuuming." —UpstateGal
