is the dyson dc 39 a good vacuum for area rugs

I use it all the time for area rugs. It works great. I just can't use on throw rugs because too much suction even when the special lever is used.

yea quite well. suction seems to adjust tokeep the area rug from getting pulled up and eat up by a vaccuum

If you use it properly, yes. What I mean by that is that this vacuum really sucks, in a good way. So you need to use the little door in the handle to bleed off some suction when you vacuum your area rugs. If you don't do that it will actually pick up the rug and move it around.

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

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 laminate and tile floors as well as area rugs, and the Dyson DC39 Animal Canister works very well on all of my different floor surfaces. There is a button on the handle to turn off the power brush bar to prevent scratching of floors. Honestly, it works fine with the brush on or off.

I cannot speak for other brands, but I like my Bissell Featherweight Vacuum. It is indeed for light jobs though, I use it to clean my area rugs and hard wood floors. My family however agrees with the reviewer that call it a electric dust rag. I guess it depends on what type of job you are going to use it for. However, I would not recommend it for thick, plush carpet. I hope this helps:)

It is better on hardwood and tile, actually. But overall this is a very bulky, inconvenient, heavy machine. If you're going to spend on a Dyson, get a better one... With the ball etc.

I bought both of my Dyson's when the price was less than $350 - I bought two. I bought them seperately becuase after I bought the first one I decided that I would rather have one for upstairs and one for downstairs. I found that the attachments that came with them work well for me. I may buy the attachment for pet hair eventually but for now I do not need it. I have two cats. I absolutely love my Dysons. They work well on all carpets and the floors in my home. I have tried SO many vaccums and this is the absolute best. It is worth the money but I did wait until the prices were good - around Christmas was the best I have noticed. I am going to buy one for my daughter this Christmas.

http://youtu.be/Ll4qKt4Jz00 This will help to explain some differences on video, also DC40It is easy to empty out the vacuum's canister. The roller ball makes this machine easy to maneuver while limiting what the vacuum can go under like couches and beds. The DC40 lets you turn off the brush bar when you are vacuuming hardwood floors. There are complaints that the DC40 has a high pitched whine, though it is quieter than competing vacuums. Cons The DC40's cord length is only 25 feet. The DC41's cord goes an extra ten feet. You may end up unplugging and plugging back in the DC40 as you clean a room. Its bin only holds 0.42 gallons of dirt and debris. If you are cleaning a dirty room, you may have to empty it more than once. The bin doesn't attach as securely as prior Dyson vacuum versions like the DC25. The machine has such powerful suction that it sometimes stalls on shag rugs. The DC41The DC41 is designed for people who own animals. It does a great job picking up cat and dog hair. You have to clean out the suction chamber regularly to maintain its strong suction. It is also supposed to be able to handle more types of flooring than the DC40. This vacuum also has a wider cleaner head, so you'll need fewer passes to clean the floor. The DC41 has a larger bin at just over half a gallon. This vacuum also has about 10% more suction power. This vacuum has auto-leveling wheels to help it get all carpet or tile equally well. The DC41 doesn't need to be adjusted when you transition from carpet to tile or hardwood floors. Cons The power cord is not retractable like earlier Dyson versions. And while this is the latest edition of the vacuum, it lacks the headlight earlier versions often had. The vacuum wand doesn't have much reach. If you want to use the vacuum wand, you have to attach a crevice tool to the hose which adds to the time it takes to vacuum corners and crevices. And then, because the crevice tool is seven inches wide, it doesn't fit into the small nooks and crannies that need to be vacuumed out the most.

I can't use full power on area rugs it sucks them off the floor. I use a turbo nozzle with rotating brush it has enough suction to power it. Cleans my carpets better than Eureka upright with brush. It is a commercial vac very well made comes with a 2 year warranty.

I honestly would not get this unless you absolutely need a stuck vac. I just bought the DC50 Animal upright and LOVE it! The difference I believe is in the bristles in the brush. I would really suggest looking into the DC50 tho. It's a smaller, more compact upright, but just as powerful as a full size.

I have hardwood floors and large area rugs. If you don't have any pets, the robot will work wonders on both hardwood floor & area rug as well as along the edges of your area rug. But, if you have pet fur, the robot does a horrible job as it sweeps the fur along the sides of the area rug, the floor bordering the rug, and also drags some of it across the rug. If you let it run about 3 cycles, it can handle the most of this type of situation, but it's a pain and I found myself often revacuuming what the robot left behind. Look at pics from my review to see what I'm talking about. If you have no pets and you have hardwood floor/rugs, I'd say it's a great buy, but if you have furry animals, beware.

Let me just say that I love my Dyson but it does struggle on my shag like area rug. I do a lot of pulling instead of pushing. Roll vacuum on back wheels to edge , then pull toward me. I have also turned the beater bar off to push it forward then turned it on to pull back. Fortunately, mine is only an area rug. There is no height adjustment. This is not the ideal vacuum for high pile - too much suction and no height adjustment.

Hi. The closest I'd have to area rugs are the extra mats that I put down in our front entrance for the winter months. The vacuum suction can be lowered very easily [there's a dial on the vacuum to increase/decrease suction power] so I do not have any issues. Regards, Duane

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.

Works well on hard floors and on all carpets including area rugs. We have a Dyson that we use for heavy cleaning and use our Bissell for quick clean ups and under beds and cabinets, etc.

The Dyson DC33 would work great for you. I also have varying surfaces in my home and long hair. The vacuum sucks up all kinds of hair and debris on all kinds of surfaces. Had it for a couple of months and I love it

It works well in area rugs,but once the brush becomes filled with hair, the vacuume will not suck up.

I really love this machine. I also have the dyson animal for my larger area rugs and carpet. I used to use it in the kitchen, etc but now that I have this guy, I use is on a lot in kitchen, bathrooms and so on. it gets in small places, and like its big brother, you will be amazed how much is in the canister when you finish. it is really good if you have a dog. great suction
