I bought this vacuum for my laminant floors; it seems it would be better for carpeting. It is very loud and suction is too strong for my area rugs.

Yes it is specifically made for carpet. On bare floor it does not has much advantage. I do not use it on rugs because it will destroy it. For rugs and floor I use small Hoover canister vacuum. iRobot is also good for laminate.

Not quite sure what your question is, but it works very well on carpet. Mats and area rugs can get sucked up because it has great suction. It has two settings, one for carpet and one for hard floors.

If rug is thin it'll get bunched up, vac has very good suction. I also use it to clean my car mats. This vac is borderline commercial use. I'm about to replace mine, it got too noisy. It was mostly our abusive cleaning lady's fault. Best vaccuum I've bought since the old Hoover/Electrolux beasts existed.

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:)

Not really great for carpets. Probably need something larger. Can spot clean with it. Mostly it's great for hard floors.

The motor works great for my thinner carpet. I use it for my ferrets who decide they don't want to use a litter box at times. When I need to get stronger suction then I put my hand on top of the tank in the front and press down while moving it backwards. The problem is that its so lightweight that there isn't all that much suction.

Well it is kind of loud I guess but if it's louder than other vacuums it's not enough to be bothersome at least to me. It is super lightweight and portable and it gets your carpet really, really clean as long you empty the canister and clean the filter regularly. It's the best vacuum I have ever purchased. Even though it's not the high end expensive type of vacuum like Dyson I would still buy 3 or 4 of them even if I was a millionaire. I often bring it upstairs to my bedroom from the living room while my old vacuum is still in my bedroom taking up space. It's way better than my old one especially since it is so lightwieght and portable. Best of all it works really well at getting the carpet clean.

In general, canisters are better for bare floors and uprights are better for rugs and carpets. I tried this model on bare floors and found it didn't work well. Although the motor may be powerful, the head rode so close to the floor that it actually pushed crumbs and things in front of it instead of picking them up. I also found it not very convenient to maneuver. I thought the design would make it very easy to move it around, but I found that in practice it was very awkward.

Honestly it is about as loud as a normal vacuum cleaner. I would take your vacuum cleaner to the venue and see how it echoes. It might be ok if music was being played. Good luck!

I have owned this vacuum for about 6 mos now. It works well on my tile but not well at all on carpet. It's very hard to push and won't even pick up visible lint without going over it several times. I would only recommend buying this if you have very little carpet. I don't feel like it gets my carpet clean.

it's designed for light duty, for small area of carpet, it works fine, but I would not recommend this for carpet.

I also have hardwood floors, large area rugs, tile, two sets of stairs, and three dogs, two with incredible fur coats and I'm sorry I bought this expensive vacuum. I spend way too much time pulling hair out of the brush head and unplugging the hose that goes under the canister. Also the vacuum motor has an annoying high-pitched squeal that seems to be getting worse.

I think it will really struggle with rugs. I would spend the extra on a roomba. I had to return one of these because it would struggle switching surfaces.

Hi Meena, I would say check out a Miele Titan canister. It will handle both your laminate flooring and carpeting perfectly. It also has a long hose that can be used to catch all those cobwebs. If you are more interested in a upright you will need to buy a long extension hose to use for stairs, cobwebs and your hard floor surfaces. Uprights really are not designed to work well for floors. Carpets yes; One upright vacuum we have found to be very good on hard floor surfaces is the Riccar RSL4 & RSL5. But neither vacuum has the onboard tools that you need. The Cirrus Upright CR69, or CR79 could work well for you. It is a durable upright vacuum cleaner with onboard tools. It will not work for the laminate without using a long extension hose (extra), your wand (included) and a floor tool (extra). Please call me at 1-877-908-8227 (ask for Virginia) or visit www.newvacuumsonline.com to learn more.

The reviewer I believe is wrong, it is very good on carpets for quick jobs. If you need to clean the carpet 100% than you need a bigger vacuum cleaner for a non-rush job.

It slides smoothly in carpet but I would not recommend this to vacuum your carpet unless it is an area rug. I highly recommend this for a hard floor.

I find the suction to be wonderful! I have a dog, and 4 cats and it picks up everything they shed. Don't believe the recent competitor commercial that shows this white substance not being picked up by the machine! I have used it to pick up saw dust from indoor wood projects, glitter, and a host of dust like jobs!! It works very well. But you need to know your home's needs - if you have thick pile carpeting then a stick-vac (any stick-vac) may not suit your needs. :)
