How does it work on high pile carpet?

It has a carpet bar that does an adaquet job. Best thing about it is it is small...but the hose is long, stiff and hard to manage.

I bought it specifically for hardwood floors and flat weave sisal rugs. It works great and has excellent suction. It has a carpet attachment brush but it doesn't appear substantial enough to do a really deep cleaning on high pile.

this will work on all surfaces and has two different heads you can attach one for deeper carpet the other for lighht area rugs and hard wood floors, no other vaccuum has ever compared definately one of the best buys this x mas

Its one of the best, lightweight vacs out there-BUT-no good for high carpet. You need a model that has a motorized carpet head/attachment. This one has that type but only spins with suction/ no powered.

It gets the surface dirt off ok, but not the deep clean you need to pick up what gets imbedded after walking on it for a week. Also it's tough to push it back and forth on really thick carpet.

Although I don't have high pile, I have several area throw rugs that it works well on. It's not made for high pile like the large vacuums. This works great on floors without carpet.

I've used it mainly on hardwood floors; however, if the area rugs are low pile, it works nicely on those as well.

It works great. I have carpet and porcelain tile and area rugs. I have some fringe (short) on two rugs and it's fine with those, it doesn't get caught. It makes the transition to all heights without a problem. The rugs that slide around (without rubber bottom) it tends to push them out of the way.

It's designed to work on non carpeted flooring. If the pile of the carpet is too thick it will not work well.

I used it on a small carpet in the garage and it worked well. Haven't tried it in a large area.

My experience is that it does fine on carpeted stairs. The brushes rotate consistently, and it picks up a lot, especially dust. First time I used it, I had to empty the canister frequently, as it picked up so much!

it will run on an area rug but i'm not sure if it would on a high pile carpet.

It works best on carpet. On tile or wood floors, not as effective. It tends to push trash around instead of picking them up.

I have used this machine on pile carpet and Berber. It doesn't extract well on Berber. It's great on the pile carpet, but I feel I need to put a brick on the tank to increase suction.

Mine works well on low pile carpet, wood floors, porcelain and Mexican tile.

great question! I have plush carpets in my home including a rug with almost 2 inch pile. it works wonderfully on my thick carpet. it has no problem gliding across it and pulling up all the dirt and hair. I was most impressed by the fact that it worked awesome on my rug. because the rug is so thick, there's going to be some resistance, but It is the first vacuum that could handle moving across the rug without the beaters getting tangled in a pile. when comparing my other vacuums it seems that the bristles on the beater are shorter which is why it works so well in carpets like this. definitely worth it.

It "could" be used on some carpets that have very low pile, but anything higher than that, it doesn't work as well as a bigger vacuum would. I hope that helps answer your question.

It works well on any kind of carpet. It has different settings depending on the thickness.

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 really dont know because all my carpets are low pile. I would think it would thought because the suction is really strong

For high carpet you need a powered vacuum head... the head on the onyx is air powered it is great for rugs and very low high density carpet but will not work well on high carpet

It does well. We have used it more on the carpet and it works good there. It has tipped onto its back a few times while on auto trying to do a weird thing where it brings its legs in close and stands up tall. It will be stuck there until you pick it upn
