How do you think this works with carpet? In the description it states that it works if you turn two parts "on" but is that true?

It is true you do have to turn in two places. It is odd and if you read my full review I tossed mine after only for a short period of time. Worst vacuum I have ever used in 40 years.

It works great on carpet. You just have to attach the power nozzle. I think this vacuum is awesome. Most of my apartment is hard wood and I have several large, area rugs. It cleans everything great.

It worked amazingly well on the carpet. My old vacum was so lame it apparently left a lot of stuff as I had to empty the debris numerous times. It works great on carpet. I dont much like the 2 stage turning on the carpet thing but it is a small issue. Overall I am very happy with this little vac and do recommend it.

I bought one couple of months ago. Works great for me (medium thickness carpet). Especially due to the "carpet powerhead" brush which is an electrical one. So it spins thus brushing the carpet. I would recommend it.

You do have to turn on two switches. One for the vacuum and one for the power sweeper which is conveniently located on the handle.

It has a knob that controls the air and if closed it won't work. It is much to lightweight to do a good job on carpets. I had to go out and buy a kenmore for serious cleaning. It's a toy. A cute light weight glorified electric broom that easily clogs and loses suction.

Here's my best guess. The vacuum has a two-position switch that selects for carpet and bare floor. I suspect the only difference is rotating brush function--on for carpeted floor and off for bare floor. I've never actually checked to see for sure, but I strongly suspect that's how one can turn the brush on or off. Hope this info is helpful.

Yes. If you put it on the floor and kinda nudge it so it drags a bit....it should come on. Oh...and it works best on a hard floor, not carpet.

I just tried it on my own home carpet, it's a very low profile carpet but it works outstanding! I am Magin the taller the carpet the more it might not work, but it grabs carpet just as well as it grabs hardwood floors

Yes it works on wood and carpet. We have mostly wood floors and some tile. We have a few carpets. This works equally well on both. It is not a full size vacuum, but for its size it is great for quick cleaning.

I use it on both. There is no switch to change from floors to carpet, but it works equally well on both. Hope this helps...

Try taking out the batteries and putting them back in. I had no problem with mine when I got it and have loved it! Sorry yours isn't working. Also, it has to be on a flat surface. It doesn't work on the carpet.

It works on my tile and carpet. It is noisy on tile but overall less noisy than a regular vacuum. I am not sure if it can be programmed to return to docking. I just charge the battery and hit the clean button and let it run until the battery needs to be charged again. I have a small ranch home and it cleans all floors thoroughly. I have had Roombas for years and one thing to consider is that it can get hung up on a throw rug or electrical wires so you need to consider that. It can also access spaces you could not access with a regular sweeper like under the bed. I love Roombas.

I'm sorry, we haven't used it on carpet. Depends on whether it's a smooth or nubby carpet. If it's smooth I'm sure it would do a nice job.

Mine works just fine on carpet! I imagine under a rug it'd be even easier, though it may still be noticeable (this isn't a very thin cord cover, it is fairly thick in the middle). Mine runs across carpet and then is partially covered in a hallway by a runner rug, works great. If you're at all concerned you can also put down some sticky tape.

Yes, it works fine on carpet. The only problem was that ours stopped working at all in less than a year, which was a bummer because it was a cute toy.

I have with no problem using it on the carpet, but it's not really a quality made product... There is no auto-off switch (which I think could be dangerous), on the other hand, I foolishly left it on a couple of times overnight, and the place didn't burn down. Also, the on/off switch light is on in either position. Given all that, I LOVE this thing! When my feet are painfully cold it just rocks!! So, that's my experience. I hope it's helpful. Cheers! -Mark

I have not tried it on carpet but it works so well on fabric, I would not be afraid to try. Good luck.

Depends how heavy the carpet is per unit area. It works initially but loses the grip after a while. For heavy carpets that happens fast. I hope I can find better option.

I have found that this does not work well on carpet or rugs. It works well on hardwood, tile and vinyl. So if the areas you are vacuuming are not carpeted, it will work well.

What we found worked best was double sided tape, placed on the seams of two pieces of the carpet holding both down at the same time. We have had no problems with it. Hope this helps :-).
