I have a Rainbow Sweeper. It works very well. I was prefectly happy with it until I came across your Easy Vac. I used it at my in-laws and was amazed. Their carpet had just been swept with a conventional sweeper but when I used the Easy Vac, that they had just bought, I was suprised at what it picked up. I told my husband that that is one thing you can get me for Christmas. We went out the next weekend and purchased one. I used it every night the first three nights that we had it. It did very well. I just finished sweeping with it like I would my regular vacuum and it performed beautifully. I am surprised that such a small vacuum has that much power. I guess my other vacuum with collect some dust of it's own for awhile.
