We have mostly vinyl flooring that looks like wood. Hey! I'm retired and don't want t o spend time cleaning. We have a Rainbow vac that's approaching the 30 year mark! When we vacuum the LR carpet every other week, it's amazing at how dirty the water looks and how much cat fur is in the water. Oh my! It's just the two of us, plus cat. Thanks for the Shark recommendation, should we need that. We have a hand held Shark that is used for minor clean ups, so I know the brand.
Carpet in the kitchen? Not for this girl! But I hope your friend enjoys it,Kalama!
