is it good for area rugs?

Yes. It does good surface cleaning, not deep cleaning though. It works for scatter rigs because it won't suck them up like a stronger vac will do. While a good shaking out will do a better job with small rugs, this is good in a pinch. I call it an electric broom rather than a vacuum because it does the job as a broom would do, but sucks up the dust & crumbs so you don't have to use a dustpan. You have to empty the canister and clean the filter regularly for it to clean well. This is my second Bissell in about 15 years. I love it!

I don't have carpeting at my home just hardwood floors, but it does pick up everything on the couch. Everything includes; crumbs, dog hair, dust, and dog bone residue.

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.

Doesn't do area rug well if you are trying to go through the middle. You need to keep part of the sweeper on the bare floor. Problem is the sweeper has so much power that it sucks the rug up. Great sweeper.

If it is a small area I would say yes. Not to a big area though. I use mine mainly on my small door rugs and on my hardwood floors. It is great for that.

Don't try a large area, Yes! the brush is OK. Honest this cleaner works best on low pile carpets. I spray treat and just use plain hot water.

I can't answer the question since I don't know what would be considered "good" for an Oriental rug. The teeth are shorter than the one I had previously, though.

I use it mostly for my ceramic tile floors. However I have a low pile area rug in one bedroom and it works well as long as you use the "carpet setting" on the vaccum.

Not well at all. There is no roller brush, so you have to put the nozzle at the end of the rug and drag it slowly toward you. It does suck up anything in it's path; it's just not convenient or quick to use on carpeting. It's fantastic for hardwood but if I had more than my single area rug, I wouldn't be happy with it.

Yes...as mentioned by another, if the rug is lightweight, make sure you don't use too much suction, or stand close to where you're vacuuming so it doesn't lift up. Be caeful with tassels, also

When I owned this the company made an accessory that could be used for steaming clothing ...at an extra cost. I never used it on rugs. Don't know about that one.

Yes, but it's not perfect when you go on and off a rug. I use it for both bare floor and rugs on Cape Cod where there is a lot of sand and dust. (I also have two dogs and a cat, and so far ir has held up well.

I have used this product to clean all kinds of carpet spots with great success. I'm not sure about a wool rug but I think it wold be fine to clean a spot and let it dry without using any heat. Any heated drying would likely shrink the fabric. I would try a small spot--spray on the Advanage, rub a bit, rinse , and blot with a towel.

On bare floors it is not that good, unless you use the "Rug" setting. By it self on "Bare Floors" it's not good.

It works great. I have carpet and porcelain tile and area rugs. I have some fringe (short) on two rugs and it's fine with those, it doesn't get caught. It makes the transition to all heights without a problem. The rugs that slide around (without rubber bottom) it tends to push them out of the way.

I have two very small area rugs, and it picks up cat hair from them very well. It's a very low pile (I think that's the term), and I suspect that would be key. It also picks up hair from my upholstered chairs like a champ.

I only use it for wooden floors but so far its worked great on the few area rugs I have...

I have an area rug that is shag which i have no problem using it on it. The suction just lifts it so i need to have someone stand on the other end of the rug
