On solid floors you push a button and the brushes quit turning. Had an Oreck until one year ago and my dh gave a Dyson Animal as a Christmas gift. I was absolutely mortified when I saw all the dirt coming out of my carpet. Now I feel like my carpets are clean. (side note: dh hates buying such items as vacuum cleaners, expensive cookware, or anything for the house as a gift. He says they are boring. I MOST certainly don't think so.) |
