Title: Dust only please
Review: Consumer reports rates this unit as a best buy but be warned...if your carpet has anything other than dust in it, find another vacuum cleaner. Most carpets tend to accumulate a mixed bag of dirt and other foreign objects like scraps of paper, paper clips, etc. My nephew ran over a woodscrew which caused to motor to smoke. I spent more time dislodging foreign objects from this thing than actual vacuuming. The stuff you find under most couch cushions would completely destroy this thing. I'm told that this is the case of most uprights but our hoover lasted 10 years before we retired it. I doubt that I'll get 10 uses out of this thing. I would strongly suggest scouring your carpet for coins, nails and other foreign objects before use....and an iron clad warranty.
