- Does it work on carpet?
- Yes, on low-pile carpet and rugs. It does not have suction, so it will not lift grit from medium or high-pile carpet.
- Does it need batteries or charging?
- No. The brushes turn from the motion of pushing it, so there is nothing to charge or plug in.
- How do I empty it?
- The debris tray lifts out of the head and empties into a trash can. No bags are needed.
- Is it a replacement for a vacuum?
- No. It is for quick surface cleanup. Keep a vacuum for deep cleaning and carpet.
- What surfaces does it suit best?
- Hard floors such as tile, wood and linoleum, plus low-pile carpet and entry mats.
- Can it reach under furniture?
- The head is about 8 inches wide and low, so it fits along baseboards and between chair legs, but not far under low sofas.
