Only when I've used this super practical device again after many years, was aware of what was missing: a practical, quick help to carpets 'sometimes just' cat and human hair, lint, crumbs etc. to liberate. Often it was awkward for me to pick up the heavy Vorwerk vacuum cleaner from the area for only 1 or 2 carpets. The carpet sweeper is at hand, fits into the narrowest gap, can be emptied effortlessly while you see first how thorough this small household miracle. I'm so glad that there is still him after so many decades and the numerous positive customer reviews led me, this 'Altertümchen' also to buy again. Moreover, it is inexpensive, does not eat power and makes no noise. Can I vollstens recommend.
