How does this machine do on area rugs? We have some rugs ranging from extremely dense weave to very loose, hooked weave.

Well we only have regular carpet in a few rooms so I couldn't answer that question fairly.

I have short nap and run it with or without the brush and no problem We also have a DC40 and it piles the rug up so you to have a foot holding down. I haven't found anything that gives the DC65 a problem. It's had to be the best vacuum we have ever had.

Hi.. I purchased the DysonC65 this past summer. I wanted/needed a vacuum that performed better and outlasted my previous 2 vacuums. After lots of research thru independent review websites, I decided to purchase the DysonC65 vacuum! I bought it thru Amazon.com and it did include a 5-year warranty! I have three area rugs, none of mine are loose weave. The first time I vacuumed with the Dyson, my rugs were not only debris free, the very unexpected surprise was the carpets looked cleaner, brighter, colors more vivid. That was a very happy feeling. I stood there looking at my rugs kinda shocked. Then looked at the canister and saw how quickly it filled up! It was getting out actual deep dirt, that my previous vacuum weren't powerful enough to pick up. There is no other explanation. The rest of our home is either hardwood, or stone. We have NO carpeting at all. The Dyson is not cheap! I too had questions and wanted to know if this would be a good investment. So far, I say, YES, definitely. We have two dogs.. one with a double coat. He sheds so much. He is a dear sweet thing so either sweeping or vacuuming up after him is worth having him in our family. I hope my experience with the DysonC65 helps you decide! Jan Cappell - Royal Oak, MI

I have rugs from Iraq and store bought in the USA. All get clean with this machine.

We also have area rugs, and the Dyson does a really good job on them! The brush assembly kinda' "floats" so we use it on rugs of varying thickness and pile quite successfully.

You will need to adjust the tension & depth for different fabric weights. this machine seems very sensitive but once you get tension and thread right it does very well.

The product is great on hard floors and good on carpet. It has problems with rugs on carpet.

Yes, I have a thick rug and it works great. It picks up what is on top and about 1 inch under the pile. It is not a vacuum. Can get a lot of dog hair.

Hi. The closest I'd have to area rugs are the extra mats that I put down in our front entrance for the winter months. The vacuum suction can be lowered very easily [there's a dial on the vacuum to increase/decrease suction power] so I do not have any issues.Regards,Duane

I have had no issues with the Roomba making transitions from wood to rugs. I occasionally use the regular vacuum for the rugs, because it is more powerful.

I have not had to wash it yet, but shaking it out real good does show it catches a LOT of dirt that otherwise would be all over my house. My in-laws have this same rug on white linoleum and the color bled through to the floor when wet. I have mine on a dark tile floor and I have never had an issue. Awesome rug though.

No so much ... depends on the length of the fringe ... It can get sucked up and stall the machine... I have Oriental throw rugs and it gets hung up on them ... so I take them up ...

It did great on our rugs, but we don't have any carpet. Our rugs are woven and pretty flat.

We have several area rugs for which it works quite well. The only rugs I would avoid would be those with a lot of fringe or 'shag' type carpet. It is most effective on hardwood and tile floors.

Mine has managed to vacume fairly thick shaggy mats. Not the best but does do it. Medium pile is fine

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. great question!

No it does not. This vacuum does a great job on area rugs, it is pretty powerful, but I wouldnt use it for a whole house carpeted floors.

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.

It's not bad on carpets, the weight doesn't seem to be an issue... it gets the job done for me. Granted, I only have areas rugs but it has a feature that allows it to vent suction into order to clean carpets. I love the vacuum all around. It's a great little machine.

I just used the vacuum yesterday to vacuum my whole second floor which has hard wood floors and some area rugs. It worked beautifully!! I never have to pick anything up. I would have never bought the machine if it didn't pick up along the edges.
