I do not recommend this vacuum if you have extremely thick carpet. I have medium thick carpet and oriental rugs and wood flooring combo. The vacuum has two adjustments--one for the carpet--one for the rugs/hardwood flooring. It has been just what I needed since it is also light and easy to carry upstairs!

Hello Keri-Ann, Whether it be tile floor, long carpet or all of my different rugs, I haven't had any issues. This vacuum has easily been the best one I've ever owned. For further review, check out the User Guide (http://www.bissell.com/cleanview-complete-pet-with-onepass-technology/). In the "Height adjustment" section it states: There are five height settings available for various floor surfaces. Turn the dial on the foot of the cleaner to the desired setting. * Lowest setting - For low pile carpet or bare floors. To pick up debris, it may be necessary to move up one setting. * Medium setting - For medium pile carpet. * Highest setting - For high pile and most shag carpet. There is also a height setting in between the Lowest setting and Medium setting, along with another height adjustment between the Medium setting and Highest setting to make up the five height settings.

I have had a Tempo for a little over 6 years, all carpet. However, I'm in the process of having carpet replaced with laminate flooring. I'm using the Tempo on the laminate with the following changes: I put the height adjustment to the highest level so that the brushes don't touch the actual flooring. I ordered a universal brush attachment (not Hoover) that is about 10" wide from Amazon and I use it on the new flooring, attached to the two wands. I also make sure that the wheels on the Tempo are free from grit and sand, etc. It does a fine job, suction is outstanding. This is by far the best vacuum I've ever owned and I'm pushing 70, so have had quite a few in my lifetime, including a Kirby. I have had a Tempo for a little over 6 years, all carpet.

It will work great just keep the vacuum on the highest setting. If you don't think it's getting all the dirt go to the medium setting. I would not try to go on a low setting. Remember that new carpets shed so don't be alarmed if you see some in the container. Hope that helps and congrats on the new carpet!

No, it is manual mechanical adjustment. No automatic height adjustment motors either.

I had the same problem when I used mine. I had been forgetting to set it on the lowest setting after doing rugs. Now I keep mine on the lowest foe even rugs and it works better picking up dirt. Be warned though if you ever take it apart to clean the roller and inside it doesn't fit together right again and doesn't sit as low to the floor. Mine did that anyway. Hope this helps. New vacuums are like xmas to me!

Yes, it's rear wheels self adjust. I have run my Kirby behind this vacuum and picked up very little after it is done. Awesome vacuum. mine is almost three years old. I replaced the batteries last month and it runs everyday

No. There is no way to adjust the height.with roller on it is only 6.5 inches off floor

There is no height adjustment...one of only a few drawbacks to this unit. It has powerful suction so when I do area rugs I have to hold down the lighter weight rugs with my foot, or just carefully move the vacuum.

Not that I know of. Beware that this vacuum was great at first but something broke fairly quickly and it became LOUD to run and I could no longer adjust the height (for carpet vs. hard flooring). I would not buy another or recommend it.

Vacuum has high and low brush setting. I use it on hardwood floors and oriental carpeting and use attachments for upholstery.

I am sorry to say, I have no idea :) - I have several different kinds of carpet and even hard surface and I don't know how it works, it just does - I go from one surface to the next without problem. There are no adjustment levers, etc. but this is an awesome vacuum! I have 2 long haired dogs and it works great.

I returned the vacuum because the floor adjustment did not function properly.

I actually like how it auto adjusts from carpet to hardwood floor without having to change the height of the wheels. It does a good job on wood floors and has a low profile to get under couches and chairs. I hope this helps.

The brush can be turned off to work on non carpeted floors. Auto adjusts height for thicker carpeting.

To adjust for various carpet heights, there is a rotating dial on the base-front of the vacuum. It has 4 basic settings, which will accommodate most floors. I hope this answers your question.

Not sure I understand your question. Does it change/damage floors or carpets? No, not at all. Do you have to change anything on the vacuum to do carpets and floors? No. There is a switch on top to go from floor vacuuming to carpet vacuuming. The carpet setting propels it forward so no pushing and pulling. There are some detail attachment that can be changed, that go on a hose that snaps into the back. One is a gentle brush that will clean pet hair and dust from speakers, pillows, lamp shades, etc. Another one is for stairs and furniture, and another one for corners. They are very well made attachments that are easily put on, used, and detached. It's a great vacuum, no bag, lightweight, easy to use, does an incredible job, and no problems at all. Every time I use it I think about what a good buy it was and how much I hated my old one.
