The Motorbar head genuinely stays tangle-free through months of long human and pet hair, and the suction pulls dirt from carpets that looked spotless. The trade-offs are weight that strains shoulders on plush carpet, a stiff hose that resists sliding back into place, plastic bin-release and cord hooks that feel thin at this price, and a cord you wind by hand every single time.
