Does everyone keep another regular vacuum w/beater brush for carpets?

I don't have any carpet in the home where I have this vacuum. I have all wood floors. However, I do use the backpack vac with the brush attachment to vacuum the small area rugs and entryway mats. It seems to work adequately for those. If I had longer pile carpet, I'd probably have a "beater-style" vacuum for those. This vacuum is best for concrete, wood, tile and other hard surfaces you'd find in garages, basements, and interior areas without carpet. Hope this helps.

HI, The cleaning brushes last so long that I don't see any need to buy brushes. I use this sweeper ever day in my carpeted computer room and love this sweeper. I have two of the sweepers and hope the company continues to make them and Amazon keeps selling them. I am not sure if brushes are replaceable.

Sure, but there is no "beater" in the floor attachment....really meant for non-carpeted floors, I guess

I have hardwood floors. No carpet. I dont really have to sweep at all unless i create an instant mess that i would just sweep up

Yes, the great thing about this vacuum is that there is a foot pedal that allows you to easily turn off the beater brush for bare floor cleaning. Love it for my hardwood and tile flooring.

I do not have carpet. Probably not, because it is more like a broom. It is my favorite vacuum. It is so convenient I use it all the time.

I love my Roomba! I would prefer to have the new one 800 series because I have long hair and it tangles more than the new one does, but I love it anyway. I have a cat and so we do appreciate the HEPA. I take them out and knock them over the trash can several times before I put in a new one. This machine does keep our unit dust free. I have so much less dusting now than before I got it. I hope this helps with your decision.

Purchase two. The reason I say this is because I have pets and continue to keep my area carpets looking like new. I always keep enough product available, as it stays fresh in its container until the next time I use it. You will like this carpet cleaner by Capture Edina. Hope this answers your question.

It really depends on how thick of a carpet it is. I have one large area rug that is very thick and it won't move very well. My other is a short nap and it does a great job. Just remember you MUST empty the refuse basket and clean the brushes often if you have a lot of hair. And like I have said before this does not preclude you from using your other vac now and again. Mine does a great job picking up hair, dirt and dust.

If you run it regularly, the Scoobs does a fair job of "sweeping." But, cleaning it becomes messier as the amount of dirt it picks up increases. I run my Roomba vacuum before running the Scooba.

No. But it doesn't matter, because this vacuum doesn't clean. Seriously, you can drag this thing over a pile of dust and after several passes you'll still see a slightly smaller pile of dust. Save your money and buy a broom.

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.

There is no beater brush so if there is a belt it would be in the motor and not changeable. This vacuum works on suction only and it does a great job.

I love my Floormate! I bought an extra filter for future use rather than try and finding one later. Unless you are cleaning VERY dirty floors, I don't think they need to be changed too often.

No. It does not come with a replacement brush although it DOES come with a brush that's already attached to the vacuum. Also, you can always buy any replacements for this appliance, no matter what it is. Amazon has it all and they sell everything and anything you can possibly imagine for this vacuum. Overall if your thinking of getting it, I would say don't make yourself crazy and just get it. It's the best one out there and it's a great machine. I have had mine for a while now and have not once had a problem with it.... Good luck!!!

I can only answer for myself, but I love mine and use it enough to make it worth the cost. My husband will get this one out and use it. Never does that with regular sweeper.

Yes you would need to vacuum first, but honestly this thing is not going to clean your carpets.
