Is the metal brush hard on rug fibers?

No, it's not The bristles seem to be a plastic composition. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats and it's a life saver.

No, it isn't. It's great for removing the pet hair and leaves no trace on regular carpeting.

The metal brush is not hard on rug fibers. I have everything from builder grade wall to wall, to chinese aubussons, short pile silk, wool rugs with varying degrees of pile and hook rugs.

Not in my experience. We have used it on varying types of rugs without any damage.

No, the "teeth" are very similar to a pet brush. They are small individual wires. I have not noticed any damage to carpet fibers.

I've used this on my 10 year old plush carpet with no adverse affects. With three dogs, one sheds year-round, it really pulls more hair from deep in the carpet much better than my vacuum alone. I've tried on some flat runners and there's noticeable fuzzing of the fibers on those type of carpets that I haven't seen on my main carpets throughout the house.

I have 2 different carpets. One really thick and the other is thin. It did a great job, the prep work helped out. As for wool I don't think it would damage it .

The brush is rigid stainless steel - you probably should refer to your manual/manufacturer's instructions for cleaning, etc.

Hello! The bristles appear to be made of Nylon and are long, soft and flexible, not overly stiff and firm. The product takes some time getting use to. I believe soft or stiff may be a matter of perception, however, they are flexible.

I think so, it's very sturdy. I use it sometimes on my area rug and it's fine.

No, but the roller brush does pull it along on shorter pile carpets. It can be harder to push through really deep shag. I recommend shorter pile carpets & hard floors for this.

It had better be soft enough because that's what I'm using it for: hardwood floors. I've only had it a short time, but feeling the bristles with my fingers, I can't see that they would do any damage.

In my opinion, yes, it is soft. It is not as cushy (or thick) as those cushioned mats made to stand on for long hours; but it does have a minor give. I have some doormats that have stiff bristle-like "fibers". My cat avoids them. I consider them as not being "easy on paws". This mat is not like that at all and he has no problem with it.

The comb is made of hard plastic, not like a traditional hair brush made with bristles. I use an antibacterial wipe to clean it.

I learned the hard way that u have to turn the spinning brush off. Otherwise it just throws dirt everywhere. I recently got new carpet and I guess it is a little to plush. It used to flow great from carpet to hard wood with my thinner carpet.

Yes, but it's not perfect when you go on and off a rug. I use it for both bare floor and rugs on Cape Cod where there is a lot of sand and dust. (I also have two dogs and a cat, and so far ir has held up well.

Yes. The one brush the bristles are very stiff and the other brush they are soft

My opinion? Picking up hair from hard surfaces is no problem but it's not really designed to do that well with hair in any medium to thick pile rug.

not really. The pole is plastic, but sturdy and the brush is not very heavy. Compared to an old metal pole I had this is much lighter. Hope that helps.

Yes, it would be mostly on the wood wood. On very thick and low rug it slips a little because there are no teeth that could grab the rug like the other ones that have little teeth that are made for only carpet.

Not easily with the flat bottomed brush attachment, but you can get the corners by switching to the conical brush attachment. Regarding previous response: the brush works best if you don't try to apply a lot of pressure - just relax, control the handle and let the brush itself do the work and it does the job nicely. I have fibromyalgia and can't do a lot of hard scrubbing, which is why I bought this brush. I like it so well I bought two! I keep one shorter for close up work and leave the other longer. Works for me.

Absolutely not. ( sorry to say ). I love the pen. I purchased few fiber type floor protectors and cut them to size and placed them under the connecting rods. I have hard wood floors also and this is what worked for me.
