How does it work on small area rugs?

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 use the beater attachment on the small area rugs. To keep the rug from moving, however, I put a foot on the edge of it. You can also use the other attachment to clean it as well. I have a Collie (hairy dog). So, using the other attachment just takes a few more seconds because I have to go over it a few times. Either way, it's not a problem. Hope this helps!

Good. You can adjust the suction. I have several and with one foot on a corner, can do these easily.

I have wood floors with area rugs and this vacuum works beautifully on both surfaces. It is easy to adjust the setting for each surface.

I used it on a small carpet in the garage and it worked well. Haven't tried it in a large area.

Although I don't have high pile, I have several area throw rugs that it works well on. It's not made for high pile like the large vacuums. This works great on floors without carpet.

Just like a iPad charger not very big. You'll be surprised how much dust your rug are hiding:(( we were shocked.sinc we have central vac system.i just bought it for touch up things but use it a lot more. I even bought another one for downstairs that's how much I love it.

Works great on my large area rugs and most of my smaller throw rugs. With some of the smaller rugs, I turn off the brushes and use suction only to keep from pulling up the rug.

These work great for small areas. Does a bang up job. However, for carpets, I would rent a rug doctor.

Hello.If the area is small (below 40sqf) or not too dirty we do not sweep firstSo far this item is working OK with the dusty areas

I have hardwood floors with area rugs. It works ok on the floors but the only con about the machine is no floor attachment to really hug the floor. I still wouldnt trade it for any other machine. It really picks up pet hair well. I use the plastic wand pieces to get along the edges of my floors.

I don't know the answer to that. I have used it on a good wool rug with no problems. Sometimes, it looks as if it has faded a spot or two but, in our experience, that simply means we didn't vacuum it up thoroughly. It gets deep into the carpet so it takes several runs over the cleaner to get it all out.

It works best on tile or wood floors. I use it on my rugs occasionally, but my canister vac works much better for rugs.

Hi. It does do very well with rugs, etc. Really a powerful little machine. I think its's great and the extra length cord is a definite plus.

It works on my thin area rug, a little slower than on the hardwood floors, which is no problem! I imagine a thicker plusher rug may slow it down too much?

I use it to get cat hair off wool rugs and it works very well. My daughter got me a smaller version for clothes and it too works very well. I highly recommend it.

Suction is awesome but you have to clean the filter regularly. When the suction isn't very good that's when you will need to clean the filter. It works great on area rugs!

I think it would be fine for a small rug. I only use it to clean a bedroom carpet and it works pretty well. My carpet will usually dry in less than four hours. It is not as powerful as my first carpet cleaner, but overall, I am pleased with it's performance. I do miss the hand held attachment for concentrating on some stains instead of the ole' soap and a scrub brush routine, but it works.

I used it to clean a stain off the carpet and it worked. I can't see why it wouldn't work on area rugs. Don't leave the steam wand in one place for too long though.
