Can you use it on berber style carpeting? Can I use this cleaner on my berber style carpets?

Yes, but I would be concerned about the poor suction of this model. With carpet with that tight of a loop, it may not extract the dirt effeciently. If you want to give it a try, I would recommend buying it from a reputable retailer. We bought ours from Costco (you know, the warehouse), actually ordered from www.costco.com because they don't carry it in their warehouse stores. The great thing about COSTCO is that they offer a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee on ALL products they sell. I've even seen people return ketchup with no problems! I know, sounds crazy but this lady thought it was too vinigary. Anyway.....it's always nice to have that type of protection when dropping over $100 on something that may not work. We paid $169.00 with free shipping to our front door.

Well, we have a low pile carpeting, almost like berber, and it works well. I just had to open an adjustment on the turbobrush to allow the brush to rotate faster. If you have a higher pile, I would consider a model with the powerhead. As far as for the wood floors, I will never use a broom again. It's so smooth and you feel like no dust is being stirred.

I don't believe so, I have used carpet cleaners on regular carpeting and on Berber. As I understand it the Steam carpet cleaners apply heated liquid to the carpet to help loosen dirt "However" that doesn't do any good unless you can get that liquid back out. With the Max Extract and other models that apply "direct heat" to the carpet it helps wick the moisture up so that it can be picked up. I typically go over the carpet 3 times for removal only, this gets the carpet almost totally dry in an hour or so. I also don't use detergent in my cleaning liquid as detergent's job is to attract dirt - once you have your carpets cleaned if there is any residue in the carpet it will attract more dirt making your carpets look dirty faster. I use straight powder Oxy and mix it in the detergent dispenser, this also helps keep your machine from clogging up like a sticky detergent might. The Max Extract model is super easy to clean also - miles better than my old Bissell was. Hope this helps

I do not think so. Sorry. I haven't tried it, but I also did a lot of research and this one isn't capable of that. This will sanitize a spot on floor but not sure about carpet, but it is definitely not a steam cleaner for carpets.

It has done fine on ours, but we have berber type "low" carpets. It also is ok in the grass outside-lol! Not sure about a "higher" pile carpet b/c we don't have any. Good luck!

I have only used it on carpets but you can email the company and they can provide additional info if you need it. They have great customer service.

Yes, we have mid-grade residential carpet, so not short like berber and not super plush and it works wonderful on this type of carpet.

Yes it works well on Berber carpet without damaging it . But it doesn't work well on high nap rugs, like shag and plush. It also has a switch that toggles between rugs or a tile surface We love the Shark Navigator that we have, best vacuum we ever purchased

You dont want to use this on carpet, you would want to use Quick 10 made by the same company but for carpets, but dont buy from Amazon as there are people selling really old product and it is not good.

Yes the HOST carpet cleaner is safe for wool and all other carpet types. HOST Dry Carpet Cleaner carries the WoolSafe seal of approval. When cleaning wool it is normal to experience some shedding, but avoid aggressive brushing as it can cause wool to fuzz. Cleaning wool Berber can be a challenge because it is even more susceptible to fuzzing and texture distortion. To avoid, brush only in the direction of the rows of loops, not across the loops.

My carpet cleaner says not to use anything except their recommended carpet cleaning fluid. I guess it depends on the individual manufacturer. I make the solution and spray heavily soiled areas by hand and it works great.

I don't have carpets but looked this up online. People have used it in carpet cleaners. Make sure carpet is colorfast.

No, it is not designed at all for carpet cleaning, only for hard surfaces. There is a device that attaches to the bottom which enables the user to "freshen up" a carpet but all it does is inject some steam. It does not remove stains.

It is good only on bare floors. Possibly berber type carpets and thin throw rugs.

I have only used it as a spot cleaner. The website says you can. I would call them and ask what amount of Natures Secret Weapon to use in water to put in your carpet cleaner. Good Luck!!

I myself have not used it on my carpet yet. I did use it on my furniture though. It's not like a carpet\upholstery cleaner where it applies hot soapy water and extracts it. The steam loosens and lifts the dirt to the surface and you have to wipe it off with a towel. That's what I did anyway. It's a little bit of work but well worth it. My furniture looks like new again. Carpets would have to be done the same way I'm sure. I don't think it was designed to clean big carpet jobs. I would go with an extractor type cleaner if carpet cleaning is what you're mainly after.
