this vacuum test at home we are a family with three children, an Angora cat and a Bernese Mountain Dog .... vacuum breakdown ........ 6 days since as you say that I was looking forward : carpet hair impeccable tidal, shaggy rugs also no need to spend twenty times! I Rafols: it is silent! my old when I passed was so loud kind airplane that crosses the sound barrier there so it's good, I can pass when son is napping! it is design class and included small brushes (turbo, animal hair) on top! to empty, it's easy tès I recommend it for sure!
