In the manufacturer's description, it says good for wall to wall carpeting. Has anyone used it on area rugs? How is it?

if it is to small the sweeper may suck it up but on fair size ones it does very good

This vacuum might be too strong for area rugs because if the edges of the rug isn't glued down, it will get stuck in the roller/beater bar. You should definitely not use this vacuum if you have an area rug with tassels because they will get stuck inside the roller bar. This vacuum is best for wall to wall carpeting. It is extremely powerful.

Yes, it works on area rugs. Now that I've had this for years, I want to point out that you have to go to a vacuum store to get the dust bags. They are a weird design, but still very effective. I love this cleaner.

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.

Works great on our flatweave area rug - Neato cleans as part of the regular schedule, moving from hardwood to rug with no issues, and we've also spot cleaned just the rug. We have our rug on a non-slip pad, so I'm not sure if there would be any issue on a rug that is directly on the floor or a non-flatweave.

I have two very small area rugs, and it picks up cat hair from them very well. It's a very low pile (I think that's the term), and I suspect that would be key. It also picks up hair from my upholstered chairs like a champ.

We have several area rugs for which it works quite well. The only rugs I would avoid would be those with a lot of fringe or 'shag' type carpet. It is most effective on hardwood and tile floors.

It works GREAT...I HAVE 2 CATS. Use this on rug, area rugs and in kitchen floor and foyer both have laminate. And I have an issue with weight but this one I can hold and carry upstairs and do the steps.

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

It's perfect for hardwood floors. Not so much area rugs. Mine gets stuck on the sisal area rug I have. You do have to babysit it or it will get hung up on areas.... like the transition between my living room and kitchen there is a hump it won't go over. So I have to watch and help it up. I still love it!

I use it on industrial carpeting. I've had it for almost a year with no issues. I love it!

with wall to wall carpet I would use the model TOPAZ. Onyx is good with area rugs and smooth floor. Thank youK&M;

We also have area rugs, and the Dyson does a really good job on them! The brush assembly kinda' "floats" so we use it on rugs of varying thickness and pile quite successfully.

I have a area rug, it roll fine between the hard wood floors onto the rug and on the rug. I recommend it.

They work well on light area rugs, but I have one heavier area rug that they don't slide smoothly on. I wouldn't think you would need them on carpet. I only use them because I have laminate flooring.

Suction is awesome but you have to clean the filter regularly. When the suction isn't very good that's when you will need to clean the filter. It works great on area rugs!

It's much harder to use on carpeting.atybe a thin indoor/outdoor would be ok, but is is low to the ground and built for hard floors. One area rug maybe, but wall to wall carpeting would not be with the effort and possible pulls against the fibers.

I only use it on the hard floors, not the carpet. I would say that it does a pretty good job of getting most everything, but I can't always see the cat hair on my floors. I like it mainly for the crumbs and it does a good job.

It works fine on shag carpet or large area rugs. Not so good on small throw rugs, regardless of pile. Too much suction.
