is this suitable for cleaning your carpets or just small areas

We have hardwood floors but my daughter has a plush 5'x8' area rug in her room that I use my Bissell on and honestly, I wouldn't want to have to clean an area much larger than that with this. If you have carpet in your house I'd suggest a full size upright. We had one years ago, also a Bissell, and it worked great.

I wouldn't recomend it for an entire carpet. It is not designed for that. Spot cleaning is it's strength. That said, I wouldn't hesitate to use it on a four or five foot square area.

It's made for small areas. You can use it to clean spots or stains on your carpets, but it would take forever to clean a whole room.

These work great for small areas. Does a bang up job. However, for carpets, I would rent a rug doctor.

It would be difficult to use this to clean anything but small areas of carpet, stairs or furniture.

It can if you are vacuuming shag carpet or if canister gets to full or filter gets clogged. These are not meant to do heavy duty work but more for bare floors apartments and throw rugs.

this is not wide it is compact. you control how much water goes on the carpet, I wouldnt do it when its heavily traveled but I put a fan on. its a good little cleaner.

I have found that this does not work well on carpet or rugs. It works well on hardwood, tile and vinyl. So if the areas you are vacuuming are not carpeted, it will work well.

I use it on small kitchen area rugs only. It would be too much effort to do a whole carpeted room. It's best for hard surface floors. Makes cleaning a breeze on those.

For a small machine the suction is pretty good. I have only used it twice, but the carpet dried quickly so I'm assuming this was due to the machine drying up a lot of the water and shampoo used for cleaning.

The brush head is not powered so it is not suited for carpet. Bare floors is what it is best for.

I used it to clean a stain off the carpet and it worked. I can't see why it wouldn't work on area rugs. Don't leave the steam wand in one place for too long though.

Its more of a spot cleaner., not a all over room cleaner. So the smaller the space the better if you want to do a whole room. The carpet does not exactly get "wet" more as damp. If done correctly the floor dries rather quickly. If your a little heavy on the water the floor can take quite a while to dry, but it also depends on the type of fabric.

I found that for cleaning things on top of the carpet or slightly under the top, it did fairly well. I found the suction to very weak. I bought a wet vac to use after I use it because it was not strong enough to remove much of the water.

I don't think it is for cleaning soft surfaces ie carpets but it sure is great on tile.it sanitizes stuff like sofas, chairs mattresses and carpet I believe it also kills some bugs too.

It works best on hardwood and tile floors. It would not do deep cleaning on carpets, just the surface.

its not bad at all, it has a separate attachment for hardwood floors. i use it all the time on my hardwood and stone floors..picks up everything. it leaves the floor clean and ready for a quick mop. the best thing is that its also flat enough to go underneath sofas and furnitures.

This is a small vacuum and doesn't have a power head. It isn't suitable for whole house cleaning. This vaccum is great for stairs (of which I have many), car interiors, curtains and upholstery. I suppose if you've got all hardwood or tile floors, and only needed a vacuum for periferal things, you'd be okay. It's very lightweight and portable. I hope this helps.

It's good for the whole house, but best used on stairs, sofas, small areas or cars where there's carpeting or fabric.

Good if pet hair is in small spots. A hand held is not meant for large surface area. However, it is strong enough to pick up fur in alll small areas. I can't imagine using it for an entire sofa. Your wrist and hand just couldn't manage it. I use it for quick last minute touch ups all over the house: lint, fur, corners, drawers in the bathroom and the kitchen. Great for the seams of the seats in the car, car carpet.etc, etc.

Yes. It works very well on carpets; both for spot cleaning and daily vacuuming. After surgery, I could not handle the large vacuum, so this small one helped me keep things clean. It comes apart easily and works well as a dustbuster for spot cleaning. The crevice device is great for getting the carpet edges clean when vacuuming close to the wall.
