Is this a good vacuum to use for thick carpets? My current vacuum is almost impossible to push on the new carpeting recently installed.

Yes it is very easy to operate on thick carpet. It has adjustable heights for carpet and hard wood.

I have 2 cats and a dog but most of what is picked up is dirt and carpet fibers. I don't think you'd have any problems, it's a really good vacuum in my opinion.

This vacuum tends to overheat and stop working entirely. I wouldn't recommend it for any carpet. :)

yes, it is very easy to push,rolls easily and though they don't claim it,the power of the vacuum seems to help it move along forward,I have a bad back and it moves easily for me

Absolutely impossible on high-pile carpet, unless you pull like a plow. @Dyson, do something about this!!

It works on thick carpets very well. I personally have a shag rug as an area rug in the lr. On the lowest suction setting you can carefully glide the vac over the shag rug and it will clean it. You just need to be careful in general while vacumming a shag rug . This is a new experience for me as well.

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:)

It is a fabulous vacuum on tile and wood floors, but it is very difficult to manage on carpet. There is no roller underneath the vacuum so you have to physically push it across the carpet. I purchased another vacuum just for my carpets.

With my experience with this vacuum, the handle was never strong enough no matter what I did. Check to see if it is clogged at the bottom if the hose where it connects to the bottom of the vacuum (near the bristles). Mine always clogged there.

I don't have a plush carpet. But on I my shorter carpets it moves very easily. The easiest to vacuum I have ever used as far as maneuvering goes.

I asked my wife and she says it works good on floors but not so good on rugs. We're kind of disappointed with the Dyson period. The main unit with beater has great suction but is hard handle on rugs unless you have a lot of strength which some women don't have.

Our carpet isn't that thick but when we turn on the witch at the top of the handle to clean the carpet the carpet is so clean. You can see all the gathered dust later. But if have carpet throughout your whole entire house I don't suggest this vacuum. The switch that you turn on for carpet makes the vacuum heat up if u leave it on too long. We have carpet and hard floor so we only use the switch when we have to vacuum carpet. When I used this in the beginning the machine would over heat and shut off. So then I didn't use it for hard floor (but don't need to). Anyway, I've had this vacuum for about a year and half and it works way better than the dyson that my friends have.

I would not recommend this vacuum for anything. Mine very disappointing performance, the previous model was much better.

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.

This vacuum performed poorly on my carpet, which isn't thick. It's quite flimsy, and has poor suction. It also emitted a strong smoky smell. It may be better suited on bare floors, but it's not suited for carpeting. Thank you for asking.

great question! I have plush carpets in my home including a rug with almost 2 inch pile. it works wonderfully on my thick carpet. it has no problem gliding across it and pulling up all the dirt and hair. I was most impressed by the fact that it worked awesome on my rug. because the rug is so thick, there's going to be some resistance, but It is the first vacuum that could handle moving across the rug without the beaters getting tangled in a pile. when comparing my other vacuums it seems that the bristles on the beater are shorter which is why it works so well in carpets like this. definitely worth it. great question!

I find the suction is really good with the attachments. I do have to be careful to not accidentally whisk by an unintended target and suck it up. I will have to say...on another subject.... that it is really hard to get a good suction on an uneven carpet. I purchased a rug with different heights and I find that the vacuum is not heavy enough to get a good suction. I have to go over it numerous time to get the dirt (front hall rug). Now I wish it was a little heavier to really get a good suction.

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

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.

We have a berber carpet and it is hard to push it along, but it works well. It has great suction which makes it harder to push and pull, plus side is you know it is working and sucking dirt up. We don't have an overheating problem. Not having a height adjustment is the biggest flaw.
