WE just installed a soft, high pile carpet. Our current vacuum won't move on the carpet. How well does this one work on soft, high pile?

It will work great just keep the vacuum on the highest setting. If you don't think it's getting all the dirt go to the medium setting. I would not try to go on a low setting. Remember that new carpets shed so don't be alarmed if you see some in the container. Hope that helps and congrats on the new carpet!

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 have carpet like this and it works great. Still amazed at how much dirt it pulls up from carpet. With golden retriever hair in the house, I empty out the chamber every time its used, if not 2x so that the suction power stays strong. * There is also height adjustment option on the unit.

I only use carpet mode on extra low for all floors. Make sure to empty canister after every use. It such ks go so much hair that it needs it.

We have hard floors with area carpets. The vacuum seems to be able to work on all the surfaces. The suction head is the main link in the process.

While we do not have med. pile carpet, ours is probably low nap, we are very happy with how it cleans up after our indoor dog, a lab who seems to manage to loose half her body weight in hair. A really great vacuum cleaner that you will not regret buying despite it's cost. Our daughter bought the same vacuum based on our experience.

We do not have any medium pile, all low, but the vacuum does an excellent job of picking up dog hair and minimizing dog order. I will say that when the powerhead is on, the suction is so good that it can be very difficult to move on the carpet.

Hi Jeannette M. , I have max hd and it seems to be stronger suction than the other model i tried . i have used mine about 12 times with no problems .

I can say, that with this Eureka Upright, "Billy"(our big brute) and "Betty" (our pretty kitty) who's long white fur was everywhere. On the very first time we used the vac on the hallway runner rugs, I was totally amazed on how well it picked up all the fur. To be honest. I have not used the small power brush attachment. Like the other answer, the vac is heavy. It has literally picked up better, than anything I have used before, especially for its price.

I've noticed its fine on carpet or wand-only even w attachments... bur no vacuum on earth seems to have suction in "floor" mode. I have no answer for this! Otherwise I do love this Kenmore and have never found any vac that does well in floor mode

Does real well on low pile carpet. Higher pile carpet drags the battery down quicker.

Vacuums with no height adjustment do not function well with high pile carpets/rugs, the roll bar hangs up in the pile. I found out the hard way and fortunately purchased mine from a supplier that allowed returns. Users with multi height carpets/rugs will also find pushing and movement much easier with a height adjustment feature vacuum.

Yes, it is very easy to use on high pile carpets. It seems to pull itself forward and I just have to pull it back. Works like a dream.

it is terrific on carpeting. I had just used my old vacuum and then I used the Eureka on my carpets. it pulled out so much dirt, the dark red carpet looked brighter! To vacuum on carpet, put the head way ahead of you and then pull it towards you slowly.

Hello Keri-Ann, Whether it be tile floor, long carpet or all of my different rugs, I haven't had any issues. This vacuum has easily been the best one I've ever owned. For further review, check out the User Guide (http://www.bissell.com/cleanview-complete-pet-with-onepass-technology/). In the "Height adjustment" section it states: There are five height settings available for various floor surfaces. Turn the dial on the foot of the cleaner to the desired setting. * Lowest setting - For low pile carpet or bare floors. To pick up debris, it may be necessary to move up one setting. * Medium setting - For medium pile carpet. * Highest setting - For high pile and most shag carpet. There is also a height setting in between the Lowest setting and Medium setting, along with another height adjustment between the Medium setting and Highest setting to make up the five height settings.

Mine also is the DC25, and does not have a lever to adjust the height. My understanding is they are self adjusting. I have a low pile carpet in most of the home but do have some areas that have a medium pile. I see no difference going from one to the other. I have not encountered the problem you describe with my Dyson, so maybe could be the pile. You could try making sure the bristle bar is free of hair, or maybe off the track. Other than that, I would contact Dyson directly and make a complaint to them. I would think the Dyson you purchased should be able to handle any type carpet. Best of luck to you....

Not exactly sure what high pile carpet is but we have the thick lush carpet and it works great on it.
