Will this vacuum work on dense carpets?

Not sure what you mean by "dense." This is Florida, and nearly everything in our house is tile! It cleans tile very well. We love this vac, but one feature we don't like is that it has no carpet height adjustment. The height adjustment is "automatic," which means it really doesn't work on all types of carpet. For example, it's bad on oriental carpets and small carpets that have a rubber backing, because the suction is so great that it "sticks" to them, making the vac very hard to push. If it had a height adjustment, you could set it very high for these types of carpets, because that would reduce the amount of suction and make it much easier to push.

No, this works very well on linoleum or wood floors, but has too little power for carpet.

Hi Cynthia: If your carpet is thin this would probably work okay. It is flexible (it comes either rolled up or folded over) and is very good on hard floors. It would not be good on plush carpet

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

Probably so. I have 4 dogs and a shedding cat and it seems to do a good job. Not sure how it does on carpets, however.

It works well on any kind of carpet. It has different settings depending on the thickness.

no,it works great on hard floors but only fair on carpets.I have a dog so I use a different vac that has the brush to get any pet hair

Not sure if the suction is strong enough to pull cat litter out of a deeper pile carpet. If it is a low pile berber type carpet I would think it would work okay.

it is indeed a featherweight: yes, it does work on carpet but its overall capacity for accumulating dirt is limited..

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

Absolutely! We've had Kirby, Orec, Hoover, Electrollux & other vacumes. I bought this one because most of our flooring is tile or wood, for which it does a superb job, but I was astounded at how well the powered worked on the carpet. The unit is light, versatile, powerful and gets under nearly everything except our sleeper sofa and Chinese hutch. It is by far the best vacume we've ever owned.

Yes this definitely works on carpet. However, the carpet I was using it on was a flat berber type carpet. I cannot speak for a more plush thicker carpet. I think it would slide. Perhaps a rug gripper (a mesh liner you can buy at Bed Bath and Beyond) may help keep it secure on thicker carpet.

I would definitely think so. I love this vacuum. It sure works well on our carpet and ceramic floors. I have had very expensive vacuums that didn't do nearly as good of a job, it is well worth the money.

It was specifically designed to work with really thick carpets. Ours is as thick as they can make it and it works terrific. There are two power settings so it can also be used on thin carpets, like a silk one we own, as well as hard floors. It is so light we can carry it up a narrow circular staircase without a problem.

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.

Have not used as a vacuum. Doubt it will pick up heavier pieces easily. Might pick up some mulch with the leaves.

I don't believe so. It only has operations for hardwood and tile, not carpet. It doesn't have rollers that would agitate the carpet fibers. Also, I don't believe it has enough suction to take up water in a carpet.
