I see one review that says this is not good for carpets - is tht true? I need a cord cover to go on top of carpet.

I have the cord cover in a conference room which is carpeted, and haven't had any problem. The carpet in the conference room is pretty short, but I'm not sure if that makes any difference. The cord cover is not heavy, but does tend to curl.

I used it on carpet with mixed success. It didn't really every stay totally flat. Granted, I didn't use any adhesive, but it has a permanent curl in it from packaging, so unless you can use some kind of sticky tape to keep it down, I'd agree that its not great for carpets.

I used this with much success over the holiday season. We have berber carpet and it laid perfectly flat and stayed in place for the entire month of December. No adhesive used at all either.

I think it depends on the carpet. Normal carpet: no problem. I have carpet and it works fine. Shag or heavy carpet may be a problem.

I love this vacuum because I don't have to be tethered to a cord, among other reasons. I have an extra battery when I need more power. The most important advice for this vacuum is always use it on the carpet setting, bare floor or not.

We have it over carpet. Seems to work OK. I don't know what the carpet will look like when we remove the pads.

Yes, I guess that is its best usage.It is perfect for rig on carpet. Also, I recently took it off and nothing was damaged, which is a great benefit too.

The suction was pretty good the first time I used it. Since then not so much. I have no carpet in my house. If you are planning to use this on carpet don't, it's not made for that. The only thing I really like about it is the upholstery tool. I do use that to vacuum my couch and it gets the dog hair out great.

Brian, I used it for TV cable cord that ran a pretty good distance around the room & even the adapter where two cables were joined together. Then as I got it to where I wanted the TV set up, I then added the cable cord for the cable box & router/modem cable. So it holds a pretty good size and then it still lies flat. I would definitely recommend this. It has been great for me. Its the same color as my carpet & you don't even know it's there.

This vacuum performed poorly on my carpet, which isn't thick. It's quite flimsy, and has poor suction. It also emitted a strong smoky smell.It may be better suited on bare floors, but it's not suited for carpeting. Thank you for asking.

I don't know how to answer this one, as we carpet. I would suggest that you contact the seller & ask about this

It has absorbent material on top with a thin film of plastic on the bottom. If you use it on carpet, it would have to be taped down. I would not recommend using this for on top of carpet. The plastic film would pose a slipping hazard as it would move easily across the carpet even if taped. It is also relatively thin and might tear easily.

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.

It's okay on carpet, better on rugs (like oriental or cowhide or throw rugs.) You have to work it on the carpet- there is no spinning brush to knock dirt loose, like on some models and uprights. This is good for me, because long hair can bind those spinning brushes. Many people say it's easier to pull the attachment toward you. I have an upright which is easier for the larger carpeted areas, but I did a spot cleaning with this Bissell and it seemed to work fine. I have mostly hardwood and tile floors, and this works way better for them than an upright. It has very strong suction, which can be adjusted down for flimsier fabrics and upholstery. If you have primarily wall to wall carpeting, I don't think I would recommend this vacuum cleaner to you. It would be too much work to clean with it.

Hi Cynthia: If your carpet is thin this would probably work okay. It is flexible (it comes either rolled up or folded over) and is very good on hard floors. It would not be good on plush carpet

Our Roomba will go right over things like cords. The problem is, she's really good at vacuuming so sometimes the cords either get caught and she stops, or she yanks on them and pulls lamps and telephones off tables. So we've done two things to combat: 1) we got some 3M strips for cords and hung them up so they're out of her way and 2) we've used the lighthouses/haloes so she avoids areas like under the computer desk where there are a lot of cords. It's much more worth it to have a Roomba and spend an hour Roomba-proofing the house than it is to vacuum.

I only use it on carpet! It works great on carpets. I don't know who said "NOT for carpets", but definitely for MY carpets!

sorry, I don't have such a carpet. I would think, because the suction is quite strong, you will have a hard time with a shaggy carpet. It would probably even tear out some of the fibers. Also you would get stuck quite a bit, since your carpet is thick. Just assuming. Or you purchase one at Walmart, try it out and return it when it does not work for you. ........make sure you keep the receipt ! :) ;)

This is not the greatest vacuum. I would rethink it! It works well on a bare floor, but not that great on carpet. You just plug it in and it last only minutes.
