Is this Dyson for bare floors or carpeting or both>

It works for both. It automatically starts with the brushes spinning but you can hit a button to turn off the brushes for bare floors.

We live in Tampa. I use mine all the time. I have two (make that three now) cats and a bird, as well as having had three teens in the house. Mine works great for all of that, but like I said before, I don't use mine often on our two carpeted rooms. I use our Dyson for those because I have severe dust allergies and a canister vac just doesn't have the suction to get deep enough into the matresses or carpets to remove enough dust for my liking.

I have 2 Dyson Milti Floor Plus Compact vacuums for each level of my home. I have a variety of flooring including hand scraped wood, carpet and stone. The Dyson is great on each surface. I'm Amazed at how much pet hair my old vacs were not picking up! If you have pets, this Dyson is excellent! I have 4 long hair cats and a Lab plus 2 teens and husband and the Dyson cleans all their messes!

It is good only on bare floors. Possibly berber type carpets and thin throw rugs.

I use the wand with the versatool for stairs with no carpet and it works very well. The versa tool is good for bare floors and when closed it has good suction also for crevices. I hope this helped you.

Yes it is specifically made for carpet. On bare floor it does not has much advantage. I do not use it on rugs because it will destroy it. For rugs and floor I use small Hoover canister vacuum. iRobot is also good for laminate.

It has only two settings. Carpet and bare floors. This vac works better than any we have ever owned. 5 stars.

It can do both but it is very heavy to use as a regular vacuum so I mainly use it as a rug cleaner.

both it will clean your carpeting also it will vacuum your carpeting and clean your floors .That's why they call it complete.

I only use it on hardwood and tile floors. It's not good as the only vacuum.

Yes, you can set it for bare floors or for carpet and also for low pile carpet, deep pile, smooth or curtains. What I like most about is is the maneuverability.

The Dyson Slim was designed for both rugs and bare floors. It has two motors, one to create suction and one to turn the brush bar. The brush bar motor can be turned OFF for bare floor cleaning. The three attachments that come with the "Slim" model are designed for dusting, furniture, and crevices. There are optional attachments to deal with pet hair (the Turbo Brush), mattresses (the Mattress tool), dusting electronics and blinds (the Soft Dusting Brush), ceiling fans (the Ceiling Fan tool), and awkward places (the Flexible Crevice Tool). Personally, I like the ceiling fan tool and soft dusting brush the best. I bought them separate from my machine, at the dealer's where they sell Dyson cleaners. You can dust the coffee table in three swipes with the soft dusting brush, and you can dust the VCR and DVD player fronts in just one swipe. Excellent optional attachments.

As far as I can determine, the vacumm is best used on bare floors. Even then, you have to be sure to have the filter clean and the canister empty. It doesn't work on my regular carpets either.

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!

On my version of the vacuum, there is a carpet adjustment knob on the housing above the beater bar location. I don't see it on the vacuum that is in the product illustrations, but it is there on mine. There is no bare floor setting but there are five carpet level settings. It works reasonably well on bare floors on the lowest carpet setting. (Not perfect, but I think acceptably well.)

Here is my unsatisfactory answer: It cleans carpets very well, but we haven't used it on bare floors yet. I'm sorry.

I have the model 41a. You are able to switch from carpet to bare floors. The carpet setting has bristles but I do not think they would damage the floor any more than a hand broom would. The bare floors setting has no bristles.
