is this more of a vacuum or a rug cleaner?

I find it to be better as a shampooed. The vacuum cleaner portion (you simply change a nozzle setting) is inferior to a standard powerful beater bar cleaner. Better to purchase 1 for each job.

This is similar to a rainbo. I like all aspects of it. I use it to clean my wood and tile floors as well. I add a little lavendar oil to the water when I vacuum, and it freshens the air as well. I also used it to clean my upholstery. I do use a small sweeper for everyday small sweeping, but love this as a vacuum. Good for allergies as dust and dirt are trapped in the water. Only a small filter to the motor to clean.

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 asked my wife and she says it works good on floors but not so good on rugs. We're kind of disappointed with the Dyson period. The main unit with beater has great suction but is hard handle on rugs unless you have a lot of strength which some women don't have.

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.

We also have area rugs, and the Dyson does a really good job on them! The brush assembly kinda' "floats" so we use it on rugs of varying thickness and pile quite successfully.

Sorry, I don't know - I usually use it for cleaning the carpet on my stairs, or I use the attachment for cleaning in small places

If rug is thin it'll get bunched up, vac has very good suction. I also use it to clean my car mats. This vac is borderline commercial use. I'm about to replace mine, it got too noisy. It was mostly our abusive cleaning lady's fault. Best vaccuum I've bought since the old Hoover/Electrolux beasts existed.

No, not this model but i would say it is very powerful for such a small & inexpensive vacuum. I got it because it was so light weight and was very surprised at what a good job it does on both the bare floor & rug.

Does NOT work well on carpet. Does clean hard surfaces both wet and dry very well. I also bought a small canister bag less vac with the hose to vac area rugs, baseboards. closets, bathroom and furniture--hard to reach places with upright. Hope that helps. Peace

This model is a vacuum cleaner only. There are other attachments needed to shampoo carpets. Otherwise, this a fantastic vacuum!! I always loved Rainbows ever since I sold them in '85...wouldn't use anything else!! These are the ONLY way to get ALL the dirt out of your house!!

Just carpet cleaner, but it does suck up a lot of dirt, hair, etc. Carpets should be vacuumed well before shampooing or you'll just spend time unclogging the cleaner. I like this unit and works well for me.

IT move easily with the brush turning on carpet. I don't think there is anything other than the brush that moves it, It's a great vacume cleaner -- I like the switch that lets you use it without the brush turning to do hard floors. works great at less money than some of the super-high-end vacs.

Just a regular vaccum cleaner. I used this for spits from my pets also heavy traffic areas. It works great!. I also used the 3X Resolve cleaner. Don't no if that mattered. But it took out spots,I couldn't get out with my Bissell rug cleaner. I went with all wood floors now and only area rugs but i still use it on spots with the area rugs. It's wonderful. Not a wasted dollar for me I'd but again if I needed too. Love it!!

Just like a iPad charger not very big. You'll be surprised how much dust your rug are hiding:(( we were shocked.sinc we have central vac system.i just bought it for touch up things but use it a lot more. I even bought another one for downstairs that's how much I love it.

It can't do much when its "bigger" objects. It's pretty much just a moving box with a wet tower tucked under its belly. Its a floor mop after all. If it is your first robotic cleaning device that you are looking for, I highly recommend buying a Roomba first, its a vacuum cleaner, can get 95% of the dirt sucked up.Another note: My mint just broke down after 3 months. Currently in the process of sending it back for repair/replacement. Let me tell you the process isn't super smooth so far.

Its a good vacuum for both, but you have to make sure to empty it out after each use,else, the suction is significantly reduced.

This is a great vacuum if you have tile or hard wood floors. If you have carpets or rugs, look into getting an upright with a roll brush. It picks up everything in it's area. I love mine but only have a few area rugs. Hope this helps.

Not sure about the difference between the two, but ours works VERY well on pet hair on the carpet and tile. Refreshing to have an inexpensive vacuum that does it all.
