This might not be the cleaner for you, the machine only has one row of brushes and only works going backwards. I would recommend the bissel big green, or if you have the money I would recommend commercial carpet cleaners from Hoover, EDIC Galaxy, or sanitaire.

I just have to add that I've had an old Hoover Spirit canister for many years, which I bought at the time for about $70. It's still going strong -- wonderful performance -- despite a broken wheel (my fault). Almost no servicing over the years. How I wish I could replace it! I've returned or junked several more expensive brands since then, and reverted to using the Hoover. HOWEVER...I would never buy a new Hoover, based on the reviews. This brand has totally gone downhill. Except that I bought a Hoover carpet steam cleaner several years ago that seems to work quite well. Why can't Hoover build a comparable vacuum? Same old story: corporations get bought out and degraded. No one cares... What a shame!

You dont want to use this on carpet, you would want to use Quick 10 made by the same company but for carpets, but dont buy from Amazon as there are people selling really old product and it is not good.

Check out the Bissell 3624 SpotClean Professional Portable Carpet Cleaner this unit has larger clean and dirty water tank that may better fit your needs.

Idont think that I would buy it for commercial use, altho I have used it many times, and have loaned it out to my son to do their home without any problems. If the carpet is very dirty, you would have to refill the water resivoir, and dump the dirty water to many times to use commercially

I am very happy with this vacuum cleaner. Picks up well for now. I am a senior citizen who does not have much strength. I don't think you will find any vacuum cleaner or shampooer that is light. Please let me know if you or any does. I struggle to vacuum my carpets and have to hire someone to shampoo them. Good luck

In my opinion... the Rug Doctor. I previously owned a Bissel upright unit...the trigger (which when pulled releases the soap onto the carpet) never worked properly. Bissel units are entirely plastic. I didn't care for it because it didn't perform. This small hand held Rug Doctor performs very well...BUT again it is a spot cleaner. Hope this helps

This is a high efficiency shop vac. Not suitable for routine carpet cleaning. There are HEPA units made for routine household cleaning that would likely serve you better. They include carpet beater bars etc.

Oh, I agree with response regarding using Orek cleaners. They are much better than the store cleaners I previously tried.

I moves fast on carpets. It depends on how much you have to vacuum. I use mine heavily in commercial cleaning. Your attachment head will wear over time. You can buy replacements here really cheap. You will get shoulder fatigue, but it is less than a standard vacuum. I would also suggest an oreck since it is light weight.

Hi.. I purchased the DysonC65 this past summer. I wanted/needed a vacuum that performed better and outlasted my previous 2 vacuums. After lots of research thru independent review websites, I decided to purchase the DysonC65 vacuum! I bought it thru Amazon.com and it did include a 5-year warranty! I have three area rugs, none of mine are loose weave. The first time I vacuumed with the Dyson, my rugs were not only debris free, the very unexpected surprise was the carpets looked cleaner, brighter, colors more vivid. That was a very happy feeling. I stood there looking at my rugs kinda shocked. Then looked at the canister and saw how quickly it filled up! It was getting out actual deep dirt, that my previous vacuum weren't powerful enough to pick up. There is no other explanation. The rest of our home is either hardwood, or stone. We have NO carpeting at all. The Dyson is not cheap! I too had questions and wanted to know if this would be a good investment. So far, I say, YES, definitely. We have two dogs.. one with a double coat. He sheds so much. He is a dear sweet thing so either sweeping or vacuuming up after him is worth having him in our family. I hope my experience with the DysonC65 helps you decide! Jan Cappell - Royal Oak, MI

Wonderful! I have a wool carpet and I have several cats it picks up every single hair on that carpet! Since it is so good you will have to empty the dirt collector more often. I just love the LG!! I also have arthritis and I don't find it hard to use.

I cannot speak for other brands, but I like my Bissell Featherweight Vacuum. It is indeed for light jobs though, I use it to clean my area rugs and hard wood floors. My family however agrees with the reviewer that call it a electric dust rag. I guess it depends on what type of job you are going to use it for. However, I would not recommend it for thick, plush carpet. I hope this helps:)

I have only used it on carpets but you can email the company and they can provide additional info if you need it. They have great customer service.

You may have to go over the carpet a few times since it has been a year....i cleaned fresh blood out of a dirty carpet with this machine but it did take pre treaing and 2 cleaning attempts...this is a good machine for "ongoing" routine cleaning...

I use it on industrial carpeting. I've had it for almost a year with no issues. I love it!

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.
