Oh I also once did a bunch of wet vac on a carpet and forgot to clean it out for a month. Did it care? Nope. I’ve used it as a blower; it’s competent as a blower and I’d regularly use it to 'deep clean' my shop (that’s when you blow everything outside). The reviews are real."

"I was able to use the bare loors setting first and vacuumed my large tile kitchen and breakfast area and then I switched it to carpet and vacuumed my entire HUGE living room and office, pushed it back to bare floors and vacuumed the laundry room and still had two bars left on the battery!" said a happy cleaner. "I loved the physical length of this vacuum because I was able to make longer sweeps and vacuum rooms much quicker. The suction on the bare-floors setting was incredible even though it didn't sound like it was doing anything but easily sucked up all the pet hair, cat litter, dirt and hay on the tile floors."
