Does this vacuum work well on thick, soft nylon carpet? This is a problem for many vacuums. Is it hard to push? Any depth adjustment?

I don't need depth adjustment, but I believe it will adjust. I also don't have softnylon carpeting, but it does push extremely easy. Hope this helps withone out of three questions??!!!

There is no setting to adjust the depth adjustment; the manual states it self adjusts. I do not have thick, soft nylon carpet so I can advise specifically. I would be hesitant though; this is an excellent vacuum for hardwoods or thin carpet, however, the tradeoff between portability and power might be an issue for thicker carpets where dirt can get stuck. Hope this helps.

It was specifically designed to work with really thick carpets. Ours is as thick as they can make it and it works terrific. There are two power settings so it can also be used on thin carpets, like a silk one we own, as well as hard floors. It is so light we can carry it up a narrow circular staircase without a problem.

It works great on mine (on low), however not all of the think nylon carpet is the same. If possible, I recommend taking a carpet sample into your local Oreck store and give it a test drive.

It is the best vacuum cleaner. It works on all carpet, extremely easy to maneuver, for someone, such as I, with a severe back problem, it is the ONLY solution.

I find dyson to be exceptional on low profile rug / hardwood floor. When it comes to house carpet.. I think you are better off using vacuum with motorized brushes instead of vacuum/air driven brush.

The vacuum is self adjusting. It easily handles going from a smooth surface to carpet. In my house there is up to 1/2 inch difference. The only thing you need to do is push the brush button once on carpet.

I only have low pile carpets so I don't know from experience vacuuming those carpet types, but I can tell you the suction is the strongest I have ever had in a vacuum. It's so strong that it forms an almost complete seal with the carpet and when you turn the head for a corner, you feel the suction break free then grab on again. It really is amazing.

I don't know if it ruins the carpet. It's just difficult to use because it doesn't really glide over the carpet. The apparatus has like a felt brush that doesn't rotate. I wound up using my dyson on my soft carpet. I think there may be a separate attachment that you can buy. Maybe that's the difference in the more expensive model. I have to say that this vacuum is excellent, quiet, powerful and odorless.

Not quite sure what your question is, but it works very well on carpet. Mats and area rugs can get sucked up because it has great suction. It has two settings, one for carpet and one for hard floors.

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!

It works on thick carpets very well. I personally have a shag rug as an area rug in the lr. On the lowest suction setting you can carefully glide the vac over the shag rug and it will clean it. You just need to be careful in general while vacumming a shag rug . This is a new experience for me as well.

I used a dry vacuum and it wasn't effective. Maybe if you used resolve and then used a regular (wet) carpet cleaner it might help. I don't know. For me, it wasn't effective.

It works very well on my carpet that is plush. It's become the only vacuum I use-- my upright sits in the closet. And I love the way it gets under and around things. I haven't a single bad thing to say about it.

It worked amazingly well on the carpet. My old vacum was so lame it apparently left a lot of stuff as I had to empty the debris numerous times. It works great on carpet. I dont much like the 2 stage turning on the carpet thing but it is a small issue. Overall I am very happy with this little vac and do recommend it.

It works great on hardwood floors, but doesn't have the power for carpet, I am still trying to find a vac that picks up pet hair and dirt from carpet that doesn't weigh a ton!! Have a bad back, if you find one please let me know!!

We have 70 ounce carpet and it works very well, my 12 yr. old daughter vacuums alot and if it was too hard you know I would hear about it! It goes effortlessly from bare floors to thick carpet with just a few clicks of the height adjustment. Best vacuum I've ever owned.

Are the attachments included with the vacuum. How does it clean on very thick carpets and is it hard to push. I have a hoover self propelled uprigt now.

It does slide smoothly on rugs and carpeting. All around, I love this vacuum. I prefer uprights but because I have mostly wood floor and I do not want scratches I purchased this one and I have not been disappointed. Good suction, lightweight, versatile and easy to maneuver from one surface to another...
