I can't tell if this vacuum is good for just carpets or not. Does it have a wide attachment with powered brush?

It has narrow powerbrush. Great for stairs. I like the way it works but I would probably bought the one with wheels if it had been out. You have to carry this around or lift it and set it down when using it on carpets.

I find dyson to be exceptional on low profile rug / hardwood floor. When it comes to house carpet.. I think you are better off using vacuum with motorized brushes instead of vacuum/air driven brush.

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.

I don't know but I didn't like it, still using my old one. This plastic attachments, specially the sucking tube is very soft and very hard to press on the carpets to clean them.. I only use the hose as an extension of the old one to reach farther and perhaps the brush as well.

Not really great for carpets. Probably need something larger. Can spot clean with it. Mostly it's great for hard floors.

This is a great vacuum if you have tile or hard wood floors. If you have carpets or rugs, look into getting an upright with a roll brush. It picks up everything in it's area. I love mine but only have a few area rugs. Hope this helps.

I've used the SD40100 for carpets with no problems. Just tuck away the brush and that should be fine.

Thank you! I have since repaired my old Dyson DC21 canister. I tried the new Dyson canister and it only has an air driven (not electric powered)rug brush. Useless for pet hair. I also tried the DC 65 upright. Nothing worked as well as the original. Although Dyson assured me air driven was more powerful, it was a joke.

I have a cat and it does well on hard surfaces and low pile carpet. It does not have a roller brush but it's very powerful with a long cord. I think you would like it. You still may want a heavy duty vac for deep cleaning and upholstery. I rarely use mine and almost daily use the Fuller.

Vacuum has high and low brush setting. I use it on hardwood floors and oriental carpeting and use attachments for upholstery.

I bought it specifically for hardwood floors and flat weave sisal rugs. It works great and has excellent suction. It has a carpet attachment brush but it doesn't appear substantial enough to do a really deep cleaning on high pile.

The vacuum is powerful and it sucks up dirt easily. The only thing you need to be aware of is there is no rotating brush to dig up the dirt in the carpet like other upright vacuum cleaner. It works great on hard wood floors.

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. We use it for quick, frequent vacuuming of our rugs, floors and staircase, and use another vacuum for deeper rug cleaning.

I have a few attachments that came with vacuum. I am not crazy about this vacuum. Personally I would not recommend it and will probably give it to my daughter & get another Dyson.

Works very well on carpets and rugs. I don't care for it as much on bare floors unless I use a non- rotating attachment. The way you disable the rotating brushes on the standard attachment is by this trigger that opens up an air inlet thereby causing the brush mechanism to lose suction and stop turning. Problem is that it seems to also lower the suction overall so it doesn't pick up a lot of stuff. My solution is to use one of the optional attachments or to just let the brushes run even on bare floors. They are soft and don't leave any scratches. Overall I really like this vacuum cleaner. It seems effortless to move around. Much better than my old canister vacuum. It also takes up surprisingly little room.

I can say, that with this Eureka Upright, "Billy"(our big brute) and "Betty" (our pretty kitty) who's long white fur was everywhere. On the very first time we used the vac on the hallway runner rugs, I was totally amazed on how well it picked up all the fur. To be honest. I have not used the small power brush attachment. Like the other answer, the vac is heavy. It has literally picked up better, than anything I have used before, especially for its price.
