I really liked this when I pulled it out of the box. I have one room in my house that has carpet so I'm not looking for anything fancy. It is loudish (don't mind). The real problem for me is that there is no real height adjustment that I can find. There auto height adjustment is either a joke or broken on mine. As a result the suction pulls the face into my new plush carpet and I cannot push it forward without serious effort. Upon further examination, the very front weels are only about 1/2 inch in diameter and they don't move up and down. My carpet is probably 1/2 inch deep so, no go. Anyway, If they had just made the front wheels bigger and put an adjustment on it it would work fine for me. This vacuum is probably great as long as your carpet is not too deep or plush.
