Use a shampoo brush that fits on the underside of the scrubber for carpets.Alternatively,put a red floor pad on to the drive pad assembly for carpet cleaning.For garage,use a hard bristle brush on the machine.Alternatively,put on a black pad to clean the garage.

The only thing that comes to mind for me is using an upholstery cleaning attachment on a shampooing carpet cleaner to give it a wash. I use Bissel's Spotclean portable carpet cleaner to clean my upholstery but a full sized carpet cleaner would work too if it has a handheld tool attachment.

Yes, the main head cleaner does rotate, and I'm certain it would work well on braided rugs. I don't have those, so haven't tried. I also bought, through Oreck.com, another main head cleaner because I use the vacuum only on tile and hardwood floors. So, if you like other attachments, you can stop into any Oreck store or check online.

Works great for picking up dust, pet hairs, etc. Not for shining the floor.

So it sounds like the roomba comes first or only. There seems to be more than one model. Which one should I buy for all linoleum and enormous fluffy dog hair piles.(Could be lesser piles if roombaed regularly) Please advise. Thanks.

The Dyson Slim was designed for both rugs and bare floors. It has two motors, one to create suction and one to turn the brush bar. The brush bar motor can be turned OFF for bare floor cleaning. The three attachments that come with the "Slim" model are designed for dusting, furniture, and crevices. There are optional attachments to deal with pet hair (the Turbo Brush), mattresses (the Mattress tool), dusting electronics and blinds (the Soft Dusting Brush), ceiling fans (the Ceiling Fan tool), and awkward places (the Flexible Crevice Tool). Personally, I like the ceiling fan tool and soft dusting brush the best. I bought them separate from my machine, at the dealer's where they sell Dyson cleaners. You can dust the coffee table in three swipes with the soft dusting brush, and you can dust the VCR and DVD player fronts in just one swipe. Excellent optional attachments.

when I shampoo my carpet I use the simple green with better results than with the recommended rug doctor shampoo as far as mold I don't know when im killing mold I use a bleach/water solution

the Power head has some good suction, on my smaller rugs, I have to tone it down so it doesn't suck them up.

The Dirt Devil Vibe has a switch that allows you to turn the rotating brush on and off, which would be your setting for solid surface floors (off) and carpet (on).

You can also use a hair dryer set to the "cool" setting. It won't have a tight fit like with a shop-vac or a pump but will still get the job done.

The head has adjustable settings for different floors. However, I should warn you mine only lasted 2 months before it died.

It all depends on how bad your back is and how dirty your floor gets. If you only need light cleaning one of the light weight Shark steam cleaners might be better.

for floors it is the best I ever used, the soft bristles could do a good job on that and the head pivots, there is a soft bristle 4" square head and handle brush I got from AUTOZONE that I have been using for three years now but the name, ser#, model, have all warn off... it works into the cracks and corners plus maintains it's shape, holds lots of liquid to go further between dips while cleaning, one five gallon bucket does the whole job.

I love a swiffer to get to all those places I can't reach. Th Wool Dry Mop is "gangbusters" for my wooden floors. It does a great job picking up the dust, and not moving it around.Elliot

I agree with others. Get the bare floor attachment. I had one from my other Kenmore and it fit just fine. When lazy, I have used the carpet head to do my hardwood floors and it does an ok job, it is just so bulky it does not go around furniture very well.

It does not have a powered rotating brush, if that's what you're asking. I find the brush floor attachment works well at "combing" out stuff from rugs, which you then have to clean out from the brush. If you have a lot of high carpeting, I would probably say go with something else.

I don't think so ... the machine is designed to put out a spray of water + shampoo, scrub it around and suck it up. You would not want this much water on hardwood floors. I am sure there is another machine designed for this purpose.
