The term "carpet" -Kehrer is wrong: The unit cleans easily all surfaces! I have a room where weather day and with every person entering and leaving. He is like a granny flat outside of the usual residential area. The visitors leave corresponding marks; on a smooth parquet floor and on the textile-scrapers. For both surfaces, there is a simple adjustment to the unit, hover briefly and it's clean. The relief to previous daily cleaner tow orgies is enormous: now it is enough to carry once a week the heavy vacuum cleaner, the one with the Leifheit I get anything much "easier" clean. Great, recommended part: they are still there, the good old stuff!
