Does anyone's DC65 leave about 8 stripes in the carpet when vacuuming or is it just mine?

Mine does not. It's really easy to push and glides easily across my carpet.

Mine doesn't leave any stripes I can count. I don't have any shag carpet, but I do have carpet in 4 rooms of the house.

I still use my eureka. The handle broke off right away but it mechanically still runs great and with lots of power. It's a messy ordeal emptying the dirt cup. I always do that outside. It was a cheap vacuum, so even tho its got little issues, Istill am amazed at how much dirt it pulls out of my carpet.

No, I haven't had an issue with the belt. The wheels seem to fall off during vacuuming though. That's my only issue at the moment.

I have several area rugs and the vacuum cleans them well and does not "over-suck" them and get caught in the rollers. If you are talking bath mats style lightweight mats - I haven't the experience.

I've had mine for about 4 months and have never had this problem with it. Sounds like you have a defective unit. I'd suggest contacting Hoover to get it replaced.

Sorry, I don't know. I've only had mine for several months and have had no problem, except that it functions on vacuum overkill.

Here's an on line comparison. http://vacuumcleanerreviewszone.com/irobot-roomba-650-vs-655-whats-the-difference-863.html

Perhaps the brush is bent and is not snug in the sweeper. I'm sure you can straighten it by hand. I notice the brush pops out of the sweeper if too much pressure is applied on carpeting.

I have not experienced that problem. It's actually the best vacuum cleaner that I have ever owned. I highly recommend it.

I don't see this problem, but I don't have wall to wall carpeting, just large area rugs (although some are rather thick it still works well on those). I also never had problems with it clogging or losing suction - but since it does do a good job, I do have to empty it more often, especially since it's small. I think once my brush stopped because it was wrapped in hair (I have long hair) and once I removed it, it was fine. So I make sure to periodically check the brush for anything wrapped around it (hair, string, etc.)

Hi! I recently experienced a similar problem! I had removed all the filters (there are three removable ones - two foam and one white paper), washed them all, cleaned everything off the beater bar/roller, shook out the tube/hose, even unscrewed the bottom and cleaned out whatever I could find there too! Still, as soon as I turned it on, it was going to red! Grrrrrr I FINALLY found the problem. You might have already checked this, but just in case, sharing it here. It might help you or someone else. When looking at back of the vacuum, on the right side, BEHIND the main tube/hose, you can see the tube attach to the black vacuum base which feeds into the clear body where the dirt goes in. I could not see any clogs anywhere. BUT - this part of the tube/hose COMES OFF - it is easy to overlook, but it twists and releases. I did that as a last resort, and found my problem! There was a piece of paper in there, and all kinds of dirt and hair (we all shed some and have two cats) were packed pretty solid behind the paper! It took a tool like a crochet hook to get it all out and unpacked! (I have a metal "tube turner" for sewing, which is what I used, but anything super thin and long can work, as long as you do not go THROUGH the hose.) I took an amazing amount of junk that had not come out when shaking the hose, cleaning things, even taking the rest of the vacuum apart... it hides in that last curve of the hose! I hope this helps someone else, because this is a great little powerhouse of the vacuum that is perfect for our little townhouse. But the clogging does happen sometimes, and I've now found the FIRST place I'll look, instead of the dead last! ;-)

Check your hose connection, this model is known to have the hose disconnect to the vacuum while being used, and it spills your dirt all back into the air instead of into the canister. It's awful.

Nancy, it does, but it is very small! Also, a detail hose attachment is included! I would check, Amazon to see if Dyson has additional attachment! One other, thing, Nancy, the DC40 is the original size vacuum! It is small, does a fantastic job! If you have animals, you will need to buy the DC65 Animal! It is bigger, but it is heavier! My DC40 is light, moves very fast, so easy to use! The larger DC65, does cost more too! Hope this helps you, Nancy! Like I said at first, the attachment is small, about 3 to 4 inches across, with red, fibric pads on either side!

I only vacuum once a week and there isn't much debris noticeable around the scratcher. I make more mess with the catnip than the cat makes scratching on it.

I'm sorry, but we've only been using it for about a week. I can say that in the last week, we have had that same issue. I was hoping it was just am issue with the vacuum getting to know its surroundings, but it seems like that may not be it.

It follows you around like a dog on a leash, so you've pretty much already vacuumed where the main unit's at. I haven't noticed it kicking up dust, but them I'm looking ahead, not behind.

I have hardwood floors as well. The brush actually flips the dirt up in the to vacuum part. Haven't had any problems at all. My floors are very dark, and show any scuff or mark, and I've not seen one from this little sweeper.
