Have used a vacuum cleaner with a power of 2200 watts before buying the carpet sweeper - at least once a week. One day I fell after sucking a few crumbs on the carpet. The vacuum cleaner I had already put away, so I used hand brush and dustpan. When sweeping away the crumbs I marveled at how much dust also still landed on the dustpan. Even though I had just sucked until thoroughly. Then I realized that a powerful vacuum cleaner a carpet whatsoever can purify itself only partially. Carpets are now time gathering dust. Once I had to scrap my vacuum cleaner due to engine failure, I have him I replaced the carpet sweeper "Regulus Jubi". The device made on me from the beginning a good impression. My father had before about 20 Jahern an identical, only in bright red. I knew, therefore, that it is a sophisticated apparatus, except the color was apparently hardly anything changed. Every time I clean the laminate and the carpet with the carpet sweeper, I wonder when emptying the dirt container, how much wool, hair and dust I have brushed away easily again with this lightweight, handy device. While it's not quite as much as has managed my vacuum cleaner, but definitely enough. And without noise and without power consumption! Only the brush roll must be cleaned after use with a hand brush, but that does not bother. I am sure that the purchase price makes up within one year due to the lower power consumption more than paid. Another plus: saving space, the thing is even.
In short: I am satisfied and make the carpet sweeper my surname honor :-)
