I have used this vacuum twice.  I only have hardwood floors, so it should not have been a problem.  BUT, the first time I used it the hose kinked.  The second time the suction is so low it will not pick up DUST from my hardwood floor.  I know that it loses suction with the adjustor in the hose and I made sure that was completely closed off.  The bag is practically empty still.  Completely worthless.  I would NEVER recommend this horrible product to anyone.
