Well be that as it may, the combination of agitation and suction power this vax has is very good for all types of carpeting, and I say that because I have jsut about all types of carpeting, low piled, thick pile, dense and shaggy rugs and this does brilliant on all of them, and what it picks up from them is very good, so I can hardly say that having this much pulling power is a bad thing.
However, that is something I would critisize about this vac, is that is needs a way of adjusting the power as on lightwiehgt bathroom matts for example, it sticks so much it start to swallow them up. I have mastered a way of cleaning them, by havign the head half on and half off the matts, hopefully this is something vax can address.
