Can this be used on carpets then vacuumed up? Furniture?

It works on carpet, but, does tend to clump a little. I wait a little longer to vacuum the carpet than I do with the hard surfaces. I have not tried it on furniture. I think it is a great product!!

I have no idea if it will work correctly on carpet and vacuumed up, I always used it on concrete or tile floors. I do not see why it could not be used on furniture though, it is a none porous surface

I use it on carpet, use a putty knife or cardboard to scrape up as much as possible, then vacuum. I wouldn't vacuum before scraping it up as much as possible.

It works much better on solid surfaces like wood floors and linoleum. It tends to clump a bit on carpet. I have never tried it on furniture, but that is usually not textured like carpet so it might work on couches and the like.

Definitely not! Do not even consider this vacuum if you have more than a few area rugs. It does fine for hardwood floors, but fails on deep pile carpets.

I'm sure it could. The only issue would be does your existing vacuum have the suction power to collect all of the powder out of the carpet. Just like with any other carpet powder, for it to work, you have to be able to get it back out of the carpet. If your current vacuum doesn't have adequate suction, some of the powder may be left in the carpet, and dirt along with it.

I have read that some people use it to vacuum their rug or entire house. In that case it probably would. I only use it for pet hair on my furniture and have no problem. The filter around the motor gets clogged and would cause it to overheat and shut off. That's just basic for small motors.

You could try it, but I doubt it would work for this situation, it's mainly for stains and oders on carpeting and bedding, I don't think it would be good for tables.

I do not use my carpet cleaner as a vacuum cleaner. The instruction manual warns against that idea repeatedly. I vacuum area(s) several times before I steam clean.

Yes, I often use it that way. I usually sweep, then use a dustpan to pick up the bulk of my sweepings then I take the black and decker off of the charger, flip it on and vacuum all with one hand. This is product is also awesome for stairs and vacuuming my furniture (I have 2 long haired cats) the pet hair attachment is amazing. I can't say enough about it!

Yes if the carpet is smooth. I do not use it for my carpets as I find it does not pickup as well as my regular vacuum cleaner

I have found that this does not work well on carpet or rugs. It works well on hardwood, tile and vinyl. So if the areas you are vacuuming are not carpeted, it will work well.

No. Had to look up the manual online as mine didn't come with one, but in the manual it says "For use on bare floors or sealed wood floors. NOT for use on carpets."

It could replace a regular vac., but it would not be easy to maneuver about furniture, not convenient to carry out to empty away from carpets, etc., and would look ( and be") clunky in the living room! Yep, it'll suck water out o' the carpet, but would require more than one session to get the stuff damp dry rather than bone dry.....

It is not intended for use on carpeting for purposes of cleaning. You could use it to stream a throw rugs edge if it were curled to flatten it out.

You can clean carpets with it yes, but I personally haven't done that yet. It works wonderfully on my kitchen floor I can tell you that. I also cleaned 2 old and extremely dirty recliners with it however. It did an amazing job on them. They look nearly brand new now.

Does NOT work well on carpet. Does clean hard surfaces both wet and dry very well. I also bought a small canister bag less vac with the hose to vac area rugs, baseboards. closets, bathroom and furniture--hard to reach places with upright. Hope that helps. Peace

You certainly can. I like this spot cleaner well enough, but it doesn't have the greatest suction. It's fine, if you don't mind letting things air dry, but if you do anticipate doing even a moderate amount of carpet cleaning, I would suggest this full-sized cleaner: http://www.amazon.com/Hoover-SteamVac-Carpet-Cleaner-F5914-900/dp/B00009R66F/ref=sr_1_1?s=appliances&ie=UTF8&qid=1379363374&sr=1-1&keywords=carpet+cleaner

Have not used it on carpets. They say it does. I'm not sure that I'll ever try. It works well on floors except because of its height it won't go under the kitchen cabinets.

It is not actually a vacuum cleaner. However if the carpet is only lightly covered in dirt and more in need of a rug cleaning then the carpet cleaner can be used to do both jobs at once. It sort of depends on your thought as to how to best go about cleaning your carpets. Experience seems to be the best teacher. After using my Carpet cleaner for several months now I seldom vacuum unless I see no reason to clean the carpets. As times goes by the more times that I use the carpet cleaner over the same carpet over time the carpet gradually becomes even cleaner.
