The quiet little stick vac I was so hyped about is fine for quick touchups but struggling in the face of heaps of scattered litter and shredded cardboard… The other one is unreasonably loud so I keep it for the back room (away from the cat) and even then have to use earplugs.
It’s fine, with heavier stuff like this I’ll just sweep the carpet with the soft indoor broom. It’s more tiring and might kick up some dust but it’s silent. It’s really good for getting a lot of the pet hair as well.
I don’t really rate the Sabco carpet sweeper I bought. It is convenient in that it collects dust and debris as you go but the handle is too short so you have to hunch over, and you have to push it hard to get the bristles to sweep. It’s also hard to get into the corners.
