Is the suction on this Panasonic model so great that it will suck up your area rugs? I have many area rugs all around on tile and ceramic floors ...

Hi - It'll depend on the size of the rug. I have an 8 x 10 area run and have no problems; however on smaller area rugs (like door or bath mats), it'll pull them up. On trick I've learned though....if I tilt the vacuum up a little when it reaches the edge of the door mat, it doesn't suck them up. I hope this helps you.

I have several area rugs and the vacuum cleans them well and does not "over-suck" them and get caught in the rollers. If you are talking bath mats style lightweight mats - I haven't the experience.

I use it to vacuum the throw rugs at the front and back doors. I just step on a corner of the throw rug an it cleans it up. I also have a runner in the bath room that I vacuum with this and as long as I put a foot on 1 corner there are no problems. But your right; it does have a lot of suction....and that's a good thing!

Only at the edges.. I just step on the edge of a rug as I'm coming up onto it. Once the vacuum is a few inches onto the rug, there are no problems with it.

It is too powerful for carpet plus it does not have an attachment for carpet. I tried to buy one but was told not available. This vacuum has the most suction of any I have ever owned, it will suck throw rugs right up into it!!! Great for auto and hard surface floors such as wood or tile.

Hi. The closest I'd have to area rugs are the extra mats that I put down in our front entrance for the winter months. The vacuum suction can be lowered very easily [there's a dial on the vacuum to increase/decrease suction power] so I do not have any issues.Regards,Duane

Doesn't do area rug well if you are trying to go through the middle. You need to keep part of the sweeper on the bare floor. Problem is the sweeper has so much power that it sucks the rug up. Great sweeper.

I use it mostly for my ceramic tile floors. However I have a low pile area rug in one bedroom and it works well as long as you use the "carpet setting" on the vaccum.

Do you like your carpets and floors really clean? I have not been happy with the suction on the Eureka RapidClean at all. Even when using the handheld alone, the stuff sucked up would fall back out.

I have had my vacuum since October 2012, I haven't had a single problem with it. I have spent a lot of money on cleaners that promise no loss of suction,and picks up with no problems...those cleaners couldn't touch this vacuum, I love it and will always be a customer...

The Miele S7260 has the same problem. Mine clogged very quickly on the rotating brush. Between this problem and the low suction, I was so disappointed in this model that I gave mine away to the Salvation Army.

I find dyson to be exceptional on low profile rug / hardwood floor. When it comes to house carpet.. I think you are better off using vacuum with motorized brushes instead of vacuum/air driven brush.

Works great on my large area rugs and most of my smaller throw rugs. With some of the smaller rugs, I turn off the brushes and use suction only to keep from pulling up the rug.

I have used this vacuum on all types of flooring with great results. We have hard wood floors, tile floors, carpeted areas and bamboo rugs, and this vacuum does a great job on all.

I am very happy with this vac. Does great on carpeted and wood stairs and floors! It gets pretty close to walls when it cleans but you'll need a canister vac to really do a thorough job. But how often do you do that? This is a great vac with very good power. I love it! Hope this helps.

I use it all the time for area rugs. It works great. I just can't use on throw rugs because too much suction even when the special lever is used.

I am not too familiar with the Panasonic machines. I don't recall the size of the attachments being any different (smaller) than other vacs. Ultimately, after the truly disappointing experience with Miele, we are happy with the Sebo. I think attachments are about the same size on this one too. Hope you find the right machine!

I Have used it on tile, it isn't the best. Is a fine vacuum, but to be honest, I broke down and bought a Dyson that is better on both hard floors and carpet. I still have this vacuum too though.

I really love this machine. I also have the dyson animal for my larger area rugs and carpet. I used to use it in the kitchen, etc but now that I have this guy, I use is on a lot in kitchen, bathrooms and so on. it gets in small places, and like its big brother, you will be amazed how much is in the canister when you finish. it is really good if you have a dog. great suction

No it does not. This vacuum does a great job on area rugs, it is pretty powerful, but I wouldnt use it for a whole house carpeted floors.
