I don't have tall carpet, I have short Berber and tile floors, so I can't tell you. Sorry. My Hoover Zen stopped working since I wrote before after less than two years, and I have replaced it with a different brand and I am much happier.

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.

Super easy to push! I can vacuum throw rugs and while it has amazing cleaning power, it doesn't suck up the rugs.

Yes, it will rock on a thick carpet. Was the best baby item I ever got for my grandchildren. Every one I ever recommended it to loved it.

Yes, it is very easy to use on high pile carpets. It seems to pull itself forward and I just have to pull it back. Works like a dream.

It's very easy to push, hardly any effort needed. It's also adjustable depending on your carpet thickness.

Sorry, Anne, I can't help you because I don't have deep plush carpeting. I have oriental rugs which don't have deep plush. The Hoover is fine on them. I have it set for the highest of seven settings so you could go down to the lowest setting and get deeper suction.

I do not have thick carpets, so I really can't give you an answer. I do have shag carpets in one room and it works well with the spinning brush disconnected. It seems to have good suction without the brush spinning. We are very happy with how well it handles our carpets.

I find the wand easy to handle on bare floors, but if the height setting is too low on carpets and rugs, you can actually break the wand because it requires excessive force to push.

I found this vacuum to be a little hard to handle, the hose keeps getting on my way, it heavy plus it's not very good using it on carpet, I ended up buying a tool for hardwood floors and that its it's in use, hope it helps!

I have not had any problems with it. The steel that meets the floor is 3/8" thick. I am also using the carpet spikes, but it doesn't need it. Great stands.

My V2Max stood on a thick Berber carpet with under carpeting. I had to carpet my whole private studio as I had converted the basement of my house. Some pretty big people jumped on that STOTT PILATES Cardio Tramp and it never budged the V2Max. So you should have no problem.

I have medium thick carpet, fairly new and it sits very well. I'm happy with how stable it is, three legs doesn't make any difference. It has good portion of height for the three legs and maybe the three table tops help that.

As another person wrote, about the "ungraceful" work of getting it on to and off the stand. If at all possible, I'd keep it on the stand, which is what I do. Mine is set up in a small room that is carpeted and I put plastic carpet slides under each of the 6 legs of the stand. That makes it relatively easy to push it or pull it out of the way when vacuuming the room. i

It works great. I have carpet and porcelain tile and area rugs. I have some fringe (short) on two rugs and it's fine with those, it doesn't get caught. It makes the transition to all heights without a problem. The rugs that slide around (without rubber bottom) it tends to push them out of the way.

It's designed to work on non carpeted flooring. If the pile of the carpet is too thick it will not work well.

Susan, I think there's always going to be a little movement especially if it's on carpet. It's isn't a design to be solid. A four let design would be solid. Those little metal things are only to limit the rocking motion. I don't know how you have those installed, but if they are installed as instructed, that may be as good as it gets. Mine wobbles a little. Sorry I couldn't help more.

Unfortunately I have used it only with 5/8" sheetrock walls. I would think with carpet being less dense, it would work fine.

I'm not sure what type of carpet you are referring. I have thick woven carpet that is approximately a quarter to half inch high and it perform wonderfully on mine. It vacuum one direction one day and another direction the next day. So your carpet always looks great and stands up. Hope this helps with your question.
