This floor nozzle is different carpets can really suck only with great effort. Have the rubber lip removed, but went no better. After a minor adjustment of our old floor nozzle from Siemens Rapid (also with rubber lip, tilting brush and rollers) it sucks much easier. As an advantage, I would like to emphasize the weight because Handstaubsauger of Miele and Siemens are a good kilos heavier. The suction power and volume are ok Emptying I'll do the same over the garbage, because the dirt Total adheres to the filter and without brush can not get any. So much lighter just for homeowners. Why not have the upholstery in delivery is beyond me. Because the supplied hose's otherwise almost useless. For handling, I would find a small handle on the unit of advantage. Had several Hans already Taub sucker and am only mediocre convinced of this brand device.
