Does it work on high pile carpets? We have a Hoover vac that's only a year old and it worked great on our old carpet. But, we replaced our carpet last week and at its highest pile setting it's very difficult to move on our new carpet. Does this one have 7 pile settings? I'm considering replacing it with this one, but if it grabs the new carpet like our current one I will be exceptionally unhappy. Does it work on high pile carpets?

This vacuum doesn't have any settings for like short medium or high carpet. One setting does all. I have shaggy carpet at my apartment and it seems to go a great job. I don't hear loss suction or the brush being worked to hard because of the length of carpet.

No pile settings. Only two settings - brush on or off. In my opinion this model would not be right for high pile carpet.

I find the suction is really good with the attachments. I do have to be careful to not accidentally whisk by an unintended target and suck it up. I will have to say...on another subject.... that it is really hard to get a good suction on an uneven carpet. I purchased a rug with different heights and I find that the vacuum is not heavy enough to get a good suction. I have to go over it numerous time to get the dirt (front hall rug). Now I wish it was a little heavier to really get a good suction.

I bought both of my Dyson's when the price was less than $350 - I bought two. I bought them seperately becuase after I bought the first one I decided that I would rather have one for upstairs and one for downstairs. I found that the attachments that came with them work well for me. I may buy the attachment for pet hair eventually but for now I do not need it. I have two cats. I absolutely love my Dysons. They work well on all carpets and the floors in my home. I have tried SO many vaccums and this is the absolute best. It is worth the money but I did wait until the prices were good - around Christmas was the best I have noticed. I am going to buy one for my daughter this Christmas.

I can only go by how much we have enjoyed our Beam Central vacuum attachment...it seems to automatically adjust to hi -lo carpet very well...we know we are getting a good pickup as our container is full after 3 or 4 vacuumings///hope this helps you...Doug

I find the suction to be wonderful! I have a dog, and 4 cats and it picks up everything they shed. Don't believe the recent competitor commercial that shows this white substance not being picked up by the machine! I have used it to pick up saw dust from indoor wood projects, glitter, and a host of dust like jobs!! It works very well. But you need to know your home's needs - if you have thick pile carpeting then a stick-vac (any stick-vac) may not suit your needs. :)

I wish I had the answer. What I can tell you is another Hoover product I just purchased was not working properly so I went to the Hoover website and found a complaint like mine and Hoover gave a remedy. I followed their advice and it works perfectly now. Give it a try and hopefully it will work for you.

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 have owned Hoover Vacs my whole life. My wife and I are in our 70s. After our recent purchase of our Hoover WindTunnel, the quality and many, many attempts to get it repaired were so bad, that we returned it. We were very dis-appointed. We owned it for 5 days.

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.

It does work on carpet, but it works more slowly. The pile height may play a role in the speed of the brush rotation also.

It really depends on how thick of a carpet it is. I have one large area rug that is very thick and it won't move very well. My other is a short nap and it does a great job. Just remember you MUST empty the refuse basket and clean the brushes often if you have a lot of hair. And like I have said before this does not preclude you from using your other vac now and again. Mine does a great job picking up hair, dirt and dust.

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.

Is your carpet real thick, it says it is good on short pile carpet, I have a rug that is short pile but pretty thick and it works well on that.

Sorry, Anne, I can't help you because I don't have deep plush carpeting. I have oriental rugs which don't have deep plush. The Hoover is fine on them. I have it set for the highest of seven settings so you could go down to the lowest setting and get deeper suction.

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.

I only have low pile carpets so I don't know from experience vacuuming those carpet types, but I can tell you the suction is the strongest I have ever had in a vacuum. It's so strong that it forms an almost complete seal with the carpet and when you turn the head for a corner, you feel the suction break free then grab on again. It really is amazing.

Our carpet isn't that thick but when we turn on the witch at the top of the handle to clean the carpet the carpet is so clean. You can see all the gathered dust later. But if have carpet throughout your whole entire house I don't suggest this vacuum. The switch that you turn on for carpet makes the vacuum heat up if u leave it on too long. We have carpet and hard floor so we only use the switch when we have to vacuum carpet. When I used this in the beginning the machine would over heat and shut off. So then I didn't use it for hard floor (but don't need to). Anyway, I've had this vacuum for about a year and half and it works way better than the dyson that my friends have.
