Can the 880 handle the fringe on my oriental carpet better than my 780?

I have a variety of Persian and Turkish rugs on top of hardwood floors and the 880 has not gotten tangled or pulled any of the fringe (which varies in length and texture).

I am not familiar with the 780, but my 880 did not have any problem with fringe up to about 3 inches long.

it will run on an area rug but i'm not sure if it would on a high pile carpet.

Hi Karla. I'm Diane (Edward's wife) and I'm the one who purchased and uses the machine. I have a fair amount of carpet, with a number of different piles, in my home. I have owned three different carpet cleaning machines over the years. I love this machine. I much prefer the roller brushes (as opposed to the spinning scrubbers on my prior Hoover machine). I checked Bissell's website to compare the two models and refresh my memory. I bought the 47A2 based on the following: 47A2 has a bigger tank (1.25 gallons compared to 1 gallon); 47A2 has dual power brushes with 10 cleaning rows ( compared to 8852's one power brush with 6 cleaning rows). I think 47A2 is a bit lighter. I thought my prior Hoover was decent, but when I took the 47A2 for a test drive on my "two dog" carpet, I was impressed. It cleaned beautifully and it really "sucks". My carpet dried very quickly. Hopes this helps.

I believe the 8170 has a larger range, up to 160 psi rather than the 8200's 60 psi.

I have used the R2D2 on medium length carpet and it functioned fine. It was a little slower but not much.

No. The 800 has rounded corners and ends. The 840G is rectangular.... Sorry....

I only use carpet mode on extra low for all floors. Make sure to empty canister after every use. It such ks go so much hair that it needs it.

650 is the most basic remote that I'd allow someone I know to have. The 880 is better than both but 700 is good if you can find find r a decent price.

Thanks for the link. They do say the DC25 (which is listed as lightweight and maneuverable) is not as good on thick carpeting as the DC28 or the DC17, which is more economical (presumably because it is an older model).

Yes & Yes, it is 3800 so a lot more powerful then the 2800. Takes me 1/2 the time to blow out my hair.

The 580 has a 50mm mylar driver whereas the 780 has a 40mm gold plated driver. Gold plating actually DOES matter for electrical throughput, although how much exactly is debatable. The 780 also has a higher frequency range, and it does show. It has clearer, higher treble. And before you burn the 780s in for about 100 hours, the treble can be a tad harsh. The bass on both models is punchy and clean, and can get pretty heavy if you have a DAC with bass boost options

My 880 works perfectly, so i don't think the harmony one would have any issues

I have a 750. It works really good. I would assume a 500 would suffice as it pulls about 180

the power adapter fits the 750, so I would think that it should work on the 780 as well.

To answer your question on the 800 and for the 850, no; but on the 850, the light is diffused slightly. This makes the beam somewhat more usable.

Don't know - I have short hair and pets (with short hair). But there is a a new 800 model without brushes so less gets tangled - so they say. I have the 560 with upgrade kit ; ) and still ove it.

Absolutely. The 8060STs are GIANT ...Really too big for the room. You will be psyched with the 8040STs and save a lit of money in the process!
