Does this Vaccum preserves the carpet smoothness after multiple use. I was disappointed with other powerful vaccums they damaged the carpet

Yes. It is not rough on the carpet. In fact, my roommate has a cow carpet that she puts in the living room. We use this dirt devil to remove my dog's hair from the cow and any other dirt. It has not yet to cause any damage to it. I hope this helps.

This vaccum gets the job done but I would not consider it powerful. The suction are is about the size of a 50 cent piece. Ive used it on microsuede furniture with no problem. So i doubt its powerful enough to cause damage.

Yes it does, it doesn't damage the carpet. Altho keep in mind its a light vacuum, not for thick carpets.

It is not actually a vacuum cleaner. However if the carpet is only lightly covered in dirt and more in need of a rug cleaning then the carpet cleaner can be used to do both jobs at once. It sort of depends on your thought as to how to best go about cleaning your carpets. Experience seems to be the best teacher. After using my Carpet cleaner for several months now I seldom vacuum unless I see no reason to clean the carpets. As times goes by the more times that I use the carpet cleaner over the same carpet over time the carpet gradually becomes even cleaner.

No it is not built well. I have 1 large area rug in my house and the rest is hardwood. I used this vacuum 3 times and it no longer picks up anything. I checked the filter and all the connections and cannot figure out what is wrong with it. Finally gave up and bought a different vacuum. This thing is a piece of junk!

No it does not. I also wouln't recommend it if shag type carpet because the nozzle is self adjusting and for very thick carpet, you need to manually adjust it to a higher fixed setting. I always like the Sanitaire by Eureka for this. Good luck!

It does slide smoothly on rugs and carpeting. All around, I love this vacuum. I prefer uprights but because I have mostly wood floor and I do not want scratches I purchased this one and I have not been disappointed. Good suction, lightweight, versatile and easy to maneuver from one surface to another...

This doesn't pick up fine dust as the swiffer. We owned the Bissell before and this unit is noisier and doesn't hold a charge as long. I like that you can take from hardwood to carpet, but this unit doesn't have very strong power on the carpet as the Bissell. Corners and edges can also be a problem.

The vaccum is very powerful even for tightly napped carpets. On the cannister is the main power button. There is a power button on the handle but it only powers the brushroller so you can switch from carpet cleaning to hard floor cleaning. Just keep in mind to keep up with maintenance because it is a powerful vaccum.

It has a function like a vaccum cleaner. Carpet is damp after. But it doesn't take long to dry.

I've had my NC-UL915 for over a year now and use to as much to vaccum my hard wood floors and kitchen linoleum as I do my carpeted surfaces. I think it has very good suction, but I find that dirt collecls at the air intake inside to bagless dirt colector and needs to be cleaned by hand when the bagless container is emptied (upper part ot bagless container). Overall, I am happy with this vaccum; very versatite and I like the dirt sensor feature.

Works very well on carpets and rugs. I don't care for it as much on bare floors unless I use a non- rotating attachment. The way you disable the rotating brushes on the standard attachment is by this trigger that opens up an air inlet thereby causing the brush mechanism to lose suction and stop turning. Problem is that it seems to also lower the suction overall so it doesn't pick up a lot of stuff. My solution is to use one of the optional attachments or to just let the brushes run even on bare floors. They are soft and don't leave any scratches. Overall I really like this vacuum cleaner. It seems effortless to move around. Much better than my old canister vacuum. It also takes up surprisingly little room.

On carpet it is a little noisier than my last vaccuum ( which wasn't a Hoover) but it isn't terrible. The vaccuum works SO incredibly well that I'm ok with the noise, but again it isn't substantially noisier than any other vaccuum I have used. The one situation where this vaccuum is very noisy, is when you vaccuum bare floor with the rollers. If you click off the rollers (with a simple foot press) and use suction only on the bare floor , that makes the noise drop significantly. I use suction only on my bare floors and it picks up everything. Hope this helps.

We have it in our bedroom and have not noticed any adverse change to the carpet. What I have noticed is a slight uptick in the dust that clings to vents. I am theorizing that the dust that used to just float around is now bonding with water molecules and becoming heavier and stickier. Great product, would buy again in a second.Andrew

I don't know if it ruins the carpet. It's just difficult to use because it doesn't really glide over the carpet. The apparatus has like a felt brush that doesn't rotate. I wound up using my dyson on my soft carpet. I think there may be a separate attachment that you can buy. Maybe that's the difference in the more expensive model. I have to say that this vacuum is excellent, quiet, powerful and odorless.

The first time I used it, it worked well on carpet and then quit sucking as it should. I may have just got a bad one. I got a DC41 and love it. Works great on my carpets and picks up cat hair great.

The suction driven hose attachment flew apart in my wife's hand about the 3rd time she used it. That thing really gets to spinning fast. Hoover did replace itand even called later to ask more about it's demise. No problems with the replacement or the vacuum overall. We like bagged vacuums over the non-bagged ones

Ths Slim in my opion is the best upright Dyson of all. When turning it may scratch if front wheels on nozzle are sliding left-right when vacuum is not being pushed forward/backward. The front wheels roll in a straight line and are not castors and so the vac needs to be pushed and turned together to help prevent scratching (not always but sometimes this can be a problem). If pushing/pulling vac while turning - all will be fine.The Fix: Careful when turning or use a Dyson nozzle on the wand when vacuum hard surfaces. This is what I do and it works very well. Brushes on floor nozzle work better at removing sticky dust vs. the rubber blade on Slim (under nozzle).Please reply and let me know if this helps.

I don't have pet hair in my carpet, but I can tell you it removes a lot of fuzz like particles from my carpet. For being a light weight vacuum, I think it has great suction. I can see the action as the container that hold the dust, dirt particles is visible when I am vacuum. I can see the compartment fill. I have look at the particles and it is amazing how deep this vacuum can suck up the dust and dirt. I highly recommend this vacuum. Virginia
