Can you purchase an attachment that works better on carpet? I really need the light weight for my back issues, but I have tile and Berber carpet

You can purchase the turbo brush but I have not done that since I have vinyl and hardwood floors.Hope this helps.

Hi Yes you can purchase the STB205-3, or you can change and get the Miele Onyx vacuum and it comes with a great floor brush and the STB205-3 for carpeting, but has the same light weight body as the Quartz.

You can get a Miele Turbo Brush that is air driven and that would make it easier for you.

I used it on carpet during the time that I had one, it worked well enough although I believe a firm surface would probably have resulted in smoother movement in the horizontal sliding direction. I think it worked about as expected but just wasn't for me.

I am not having that problem.. Of course mine is on carpet. Maybe you can get those little rubber thingys that holds throw carpets down and put them on the ends of the legs.. might help and you don't lose much if it doesn't.

I have found that it works on a really low pile carpet. It isn't as fast as it is on a tile/wood floor.

Works just fine on carpet actually you might prefer carpet. on wood and tile it can be a bit of a racket

The Dyson Hard Floor tool is easier to maneuver for me than the articulating attachment. It does a great job on my tile and hardwood floors and I can easily vacuum my throw rugs with it. The articulating attachment sucks them up. I never use the articulating attachment anymore as I have no carpet.

I use mine on carpet, but the carpet is thin not plush and it works fine, hope that helps!

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 works really well on the carpet. It's super heavy so it won't move and the carpet will actually add some extra cushioning for you. Hope this answers your question. Linda

I have carpet, but this thing isn't really heavy enough to scratch it. The wheels are fine, the problem is that the cradle part doesn't stay up like it's supposed to, so it drags over the wheels, which may scratch the floors? Just be careful to try and keep the cradle part up and you'll be fine.

It won't do you any good. It's meant for shag carpet. It did me no good and my carpet is much looser than berber

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.

We use it on hard floors but also have rugs. It rocks great. It is lightweight, that's my only complaint with it.

Absolutely that's where I use mine. Your choice of footwear will make a difference. Something without too much tread. I am thinking of buying a large floor mat like you'd use under the chair of a large desk but it isn't a deal breaker if your only option is to use it on carpeting.

Wish I could help here, but I don't know for sure. It works well on my Berber-style carpet. Good luck!

It was specifically designed to work with really thick carpets. Ours is as thick as they can make it and it works terrific. There are two power settings so it can also be used on thin carpets, like a silk one we own, as well as hard floors. It is so light we can carry it up a narrow circular staircase without a problem.

I have not used it on carpet. However, it does have an attachment for carpet use.
