Dose the vacuum power head moves easy through the shaggy carpet?

have only used it on low pile carpeting, and it does a very good job on it, as well as floors.

Yes, or you can slide it from room to room (which is what I did in my mother's house that has a thick carpet). Little dude never noticed.

IT move easily with the brush turning on carpet. I don't think there is anything other than the brush that moves it, It's a great vacume cleaner -- I like the switch that lets you use it without the brush turning to do hard floors. works great at less money than some of the super-high-end vacs.

Yes it does. It also has an on/off switch on the hand grip end of the hose. Useful when you lift the power head off the rug to move or stop to move something and the head is sitting on the rug.

Certainly. Now, it depends on how small the child and what type of dexterity you expect. It takes a bit of wrist strength to maneuver the head around obstacles. But for general vacuuming, not too much of a probloem - especially on hard surface floors. It takes a bit of a push to get it to move over carpet.

No, it has the regular wind around cord, but it is really a good cleaner. My carpeting looks like it doesn't need vacuuming but when it's done anyway, I'm amazed at the amount of dust/dirt it picks up.

Not really, but you have to put pressure on the carpet roller attachment (I think its called the "beater bar"?) to get it to move. I have the same problem as you so I usually vacuum the carpet with the floor attachment. It is a little more labor intensive, but it does work. Maybe even a little better.

The connection on the head has a bend where it swivels, so I swivel it to the side so my hose will lay parallel with the floor to vacuum under beds. This vacuum has a lot of suction power.

In the lower suction setting, not really. In the higher suction setting it seems to 'float' on the carpet. Self propelled? It depends on your definition. It is an awesome vacuum!

Rita, Yes it is. It is just as good on carpet as any of the much larger machines that I have owned. There is a slight trade off with the self adjusting head in that it doesn't pick up large pieces (dropped peanuts for example) without some maneuvering to lift the head. I do not find this problematic as the unit more than makes up for it by being able to go directly to bare floor cleaning without any adjustments.

No, the brush head is not powered. It uses the suction to spin the brushes. Its one of the cons with the design but the vacuum itself is very strong and very silent for how strong it is. It works great unless you are trying to vacuum carpet with the brushed head. It works, but you could get better results with a regular vacuum for cheaper. Cleans the car really well (which is what i use it for) if that helps at all...

I have the vacuum. But I did not get your question. I really like the vacuum and tools. Only problem I ever have is when I turn around in a time place I bang the back pack. I have a fairly deep Pyle on some carpet and I am amazed that the carpet attachment which is air powered really spins fast even on the carpet. Dirt bags seem over engineered. Suction is strong enough that dust within several inches of the attachment is taken in.

Yes! It does! I go over my floor rugs in my kitchen without any trouble! It won't pick up small pebbles, large chunks of stuff, etc.., which is awesome for me because my daughter plays with monster high dolls and oh boy, all those little things she leaves laying around get thrown out, which is great! My floors are always clean thanks to this dyson!

Yes it does. Our kids (ages 18 months, 3, 6, and 8) can all maneuver just fine on our living room carpet.

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.

The power carpet attachment is powered from the handle. But this will only work if the machine is powered on from the canister.

yea quite well. suction seems to adjust tokeep the area rug from getting pulled up and eat up by a vaccuum
