My apartment has about 1000 sq feet carpeted. Is this item suitable for cleaning that much or should I be looking for a bigger machine?

My apartment is 920 square feet and it does a great job. The suction of this unit is very surprising considering the price. I live that its easily stores and not bulky. I wish it had an automatic wind up for the cord, but the absence of this option does not take away feom the unit. I love it!! GOOD LUCK!!

If the carpet is thin, then yes. If the carpet is thick, then I would consider a larger vacuum with more suction power.

My apartment is 750 sq feet and it works out great. What's best is it is compact and easy to store just about anywhere.

It works great on carpet. You just have to attach the power nozzle. I think this vacuum is awesome. Most of my apartment is hard wood and I have several large, area rugs. It cleans everything great.

This is a great vacuum if you have tile or hard wood floors. If you have carpets or rugs, look into getting an upright with a roll brush. It picks up everything in it's area. I love mine but only have a few area rugs. Hope this helps.

This one is perfect for you. I could not manage my large heavy carpet cleaner so bought this model and it is just right - not heavy to move, picks up well, easy to fill and clean. Go for it!

I am in an apartment with what I consider "lite" shag carpeting...I have two longhaired dachshunds and this amazing little vacuum has plenty of suction to do the job. As for thicker carpet...I just don't know. It is powerful for a battery operated vacuum, but you may not be satisfied unless you order a plug in model. I also bought a Bissell carpet cleaner to get any additional stains/dirt out of the carpet.

Rita, Yes it is. It is just as good on carpet as any of the much larger machines that I have owned. There is a slight trade off with the self adjusting head in that it doesn't pick up large pieces (dropped peanuts for example) without some maneuvering to lift the head. I do not find this problematic as the unit more than makes up for it by being able to go directly to bare floor cleaning without any adjustments.

Pretty darn well. I used it in my apartment that is almost entirely carpeted and it worked well.

I returned this because I have a 1600 sq ft home 80% carpeted and the canister was way too small. As far as the suction, I used this once and the suction seemed fine but you have to empty it about every 15 minutes. I returned it and got a Shark Rotator which was almost 3 times the canister capacity and a bit more suction and I am pleased so far with the purchase.

You can get a 10x12 room done without a problem. I tend to go heavy on the water to get deep cleaning vs doing the way suggested. I really like my shampooer, especially the lift away feature. Great for doing cars and stairs or furniture. Highly recommend it. We replaced most of our carpet, but will still use it to clean the vinyl. Hope this helped.

Really depends on the use. The bags are really small. But I had cleaned 4 floors approx. 2000-3200 sq/ft and a complete construction clean with this (4800 sq. ft) before I had to change my first bag. I was pretty surprised.

I don't have carpet but it rolls easily on my short-fiber rugs. I'm not sure if the suction would be adequate to clean a carpet.

This machine is good enogh for egitation but you would still need a detergent to emilsfy the dirt and an ectractor to rinse every thing up. Using the map is also an option butnothing peat the hot water extraction on my openion. Most carpet cleaners offer tile and grout cleaning for as little as 75 cent/sf. Http//:sanosteam.com

If its on a sturdy, level floor (which it should be), its more than good enough to do basic maintenance/cleaning. Its fairly lightweight, so I think thats what its designed for.

The machine is awesome and so light. Yes it is designed for floors and another setting for carpet. I have all wood floors on our main floor. It gets a work out and you don't have to touch anything dirty!

Sure, if you don't mind doing a lot of vacuum. It's a decent, economical vacuum cleaner.

Well it is kind of loud I guess but if it's louder than other vacuums it's not enough to be bothersome at least to me. It is super lightweight and portable and it gets your carpet really, really clean as long you empty the canister and clean the filter regularly. It's the best vacuum I have ever purchased. Even though it's not the high end expensive type of vacuum like Dyson I would still buy 3 or 4 of them even if I was a millionaire. I often bring it upstairs to my bedroom from the living room while my old vacuum is still in my bedroom taking up space. It's way better than my old one especially since it is so lightwieght and portable. Best of all it works really well at getting the carpet clean.

This is not the greatest vacuum. I would rethink it! It works well on a bare floor, but not that great on carpet. You just plug it in and it last only minutes.
