Does this vacuum work well on carpeted stairs?

This vacuum does a much better than average job on stairs. The motorized head is light and swivels easily. It has great pick-up, and a light on the head. The entire vacuum is very light and easy to carry on stairs. The crevice tools Los work well on stairs. The long cord is plenty for he stirs in most homes.

Yes....I just used it on our stairs over the weekend. I was able to leave the canister on the stair landing and use the handheld on each stair easily as the hose was long enough. You can also use the brush attachment easily at the base of the long handle for each stair as well. The rectangular attachment easily detaches to attach the brush attachment. It was great not to have to hold our old upright on each stair.

It works very well on carpeted stairs. For a hand held vacuum, it has plenty of power and a nice long cord. It may work a little too well, in that the canister fills up very quickly, so you will probably have to empty it every time you use it.

We don't have stairs but I think it would not be great on stairs. We use it as a 'fill in' vacuum for quick pick ups. We do like it but you have to be careful to get the right position to get adequate suction.

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.

I used this on my wood stairs and it worked very well. I'm not sure what would work on carpet.

For hardwood stairs, I would purchase a dust brush attachment (at any vac store or online)--fits right onto the little hose of this vac, which is perfect for stairs. That's what I use mine for and, in addition, I use my dust brush attachment on my wood furniture.

I don't have carpeted stairs, but I do use it on the carpets in my cars and it works great!

I am very happy with this vac. Does great on carpeted and wood stairs and floors! It gets pretty close to walls when it cleans but you'll need a canister vac to really do a thorough job. But how often do you do that? This is a great vac with very good power. I love it! Hope this helps.

This model works fairly well on hardwood floors, not as well on carpet. I have owned this model for about three years and would say that it is an average vacuum cleaner in quality.

Yes! I use it more for quick touch ups between vacuuming but it does work on carpet. I love it, use it all the time.

Yes! That is exactly why I purchased this attachment, and it does a terrific job. The beater bar is very effective, and the device channels the suction from the vacuum admirably - resulting in very clean stairs. However, be aware that you will have to hold the device to maneuver it - the hand tool simply slides onto the hose from the vacuum without any means of securing the attachment. So, if you push and pull it, it will slide off unless you are holding it at the attachment point.

It works well on hardwood floors with floor brush attachment. We have dogs and it picks up all dog hair with lots of suction

Yes, it is excellent. I still have a vacuum with attachments but I use the AirRam exclusively on the stairs. It is lightweight and gets in the corners and edges. Being cordless makes it even easier going from one floor to another.

Works well on MY stairs. It may depend on the carpet you have, the physical wear and the staining, but mine come clean well....

Yes, you must vacuum first. Carpeted stairs should not be a problem. The unit it light weight and maneuverable enough for stairs.

Yes, this would work well on stairs. My regular vacuum attachments (Hoover) don't work because those attachments are female to fit to a male fitting and the Makita attachments are male to fit to a female fitting.
