Best vacuum I've ever owned by the length of the straight, at least so far
as carpet was concerned. However, the wheels scuff up the timber floors
quite badly.


And besides, it's like you said, it's overkill. Your mom can use it on her
carpets and you can get yourself a nice quiet dust mop (of course, I use my
Dyson wand to suck up the stuff I dustmop into the corner of the room! But
I guess any vacuum hose would do that).
