Long there is this carpet sweeper, already my mother the cat hair and other debris away with a similar device (also from Leifheit) of their carpets. A vacuum cleaner she had not. When I got a dog and the dog hairs were very difficult to be removed with a vacuum cleaner, I remembered the old carpet sweeper again, I was glad to find a similar device from Amazon. The sweeper is height adjustable, so for a stone or parquet floors suitable both for various carpets. Only in corners he can not, because I go out with a stiff brush the hair, and other, which he then takes with problems. The vacuum cleaner comes with me now much less used, which saves energy and expensive filters. The unit takes up little space and is lighter than a vacuum cleaner, to clean the device is also simple and easy. Recommended as an additional device for vacuum cleaner necessarily.
