motor-driven.
The Electrobrush removes deep-seated
dirt and prevents areas of frequent use
from becoming a path.
Two of the four rollers are height-adjustable, allowing you to adjust the gap
between the Electrobrush and the floor.

should not be used to vacuum deeppile rugs and carpets or valuable
hand-knotted rugs and carpets, e.g.,
