Will this work on Frieze (twist) carpet?

The pictures that I could find on Frieze (twist) carpet - looked pretty much like carpet. The pile might be a bit deeper (depending on brand) Basically, a vacuum cleaner creates a vacuum. This particular vacuum cleaner creates a pretty good vacuum. The issue with the carpet will come down to which head you use. There is a rather expensive powered head - and, a nominal un-powered head. Both have degrees of adjustment. From bare floors, to almost flat (no pile) carpet, to fairly deep pile carpet - it seems to do ok. Nothing that I have is going to be as deep as what you are talking about. It comes down to selecting the correct attachment for the job... and, Getting the adjustments for the attachment correct. On the powered head there is an indicator for mis-adjustment. It complains if the vacuum is too low (ie the height setting is too high). If you set the height too low, then you'll notice too much drag. The vacuum will try to seal to the floor - the head becomes difficult to travel. Too low on a throw rugs - results in being able to pick up the rug. At any rate, this thing moves a large volume of air (compared to my previous vacuums) - while achieving a noticeably greater vacuum It also has some decent bags and filters which reduces scattered dust. As with any device that circulates large amounts of air, what goes in - has to come back out. This can result in blowing dust bunnies around the room that haven't been vacuumed up - yet. So, starting in the middle of the room can be a bad idea - if the debris field is severe. If you can find one locally to demo, it would be worth the trip.

I believe it would if used gently... It does have an attachment. Also would depend on how thick the carpet is.

Works best on hard surfaces. It will work ok on a short pile carpet....thick or shag...not so much

Hi. I think it is designed for a flat, smooth surface. Carpet tends to be uneven, regardless of the type, especially when someone steps on it. But I have not tried it on carpet, so perhaps it can serve your purpose. The squares are pretty secure when connected, so you may give it a shot, but I don't think they will stay put.

Yes. Works great on carpets. The magnet doesn't work on nickels or pennies. Works great on paper clips, needles, bread wrapper ties, etc. Works great on flat things if you can get under an edge. Push a plastic lid up against your shoe & get it to flip up. You can get under it. Paper & paper money, pinch it or push it so it bunches up enough to grab. Coins are small enough to fit between the jaws- one on one side of the coin and one directly opposite while it's flat on the floor.

Sorry for the delay. Been away. Yes, it will work on carpet. If the carpet is dry when you place it, then if the carpet gets damp or wet the device will alarm. It does need to be placed flat in its back.

I have a high pile shag area rug in the playroom. It does roll over it but it's a little harder to maneuver. I'm sure it would work fine on a short pile rug or carpet.

We used it on thin, indoor/outdoor carpeting, and Berber, small pile. if you have thick carpeting, not sure how it will work

It may work on flat carpet like berber oratory squares. It's pretty heavy it might cause a trip hazard on anything higher. Check with the manufacturer.

Hello, I think it will work very well on a carpet. On the contrary I use mine on a wood floor and it slips a bit and sometimes doesn't hold the door all that well.

It should. It has little rubber runners on the bottom to keep it from sliding on hard floors and I assume they would stick on carpet too.

The rack uses a lever to slightly expand the length of the rack to lock it in place between the floor and the ceiling. As long as the carpet is stable (i.e. not prone to slipping), then this rack should work. The rack will fail to hold if the base is easily displaced. A slick floor, sloped floor, or easily moved rug or carpet would cause the rack locking mechanism to become ineffective.

Yes, I use it on Flor carpet tiles and it works well. However Flor carpets are not as squishy as traditional home carpet.

It probably would, you might have to pop a starter hole first if the carpet is really thick. I am done with the pliers I bought if you want to buy mine. Let me know.

I am not sure: I used this on carpeting and it worked fine. Try warm water with a little dish-washing liquid on your sofa first. It should work.

I'm not sure either - I've never tried mine on my 2 carpeted cat towers. I can try it out and let you know. I use the Miele wide upholstery tool on my carpeted cat towers and it works GREAT! Miele SPD 10 Wide Upholstery Tool

It works great on mine (on low), however not all of the think nylon carpet is the same. If possible, I recommend taking a carpet sample into your local Oreck store and give it a test drive.
