Would this work on thin carpet?

It may work on industrial carpet - the super thin stuff. My daughter uses it on our hardwoods, kitchen floor, etc. I think it would be difficult for kids to roll on carpet unless it was the industrial sort that usually doesn't have padding beneath. Hope this helps! On a different note, I think it works well on smooth concrete...do you have an outdoor space to use it on?

We used it on thin, indoor/outdoor carpeting, and Berber, small pile. if you have thick carpeting, not sure how it will work

It works ok on our short pile (maybe 3/8") carpet. On a tight weave rug it should be fine. It works best on hard floors.

Yes this definitely works on carpet. However, the carpet I was using it on was a flat berber type carpet. I cannot speak for a more plush thicker carpet. I think it would slide. Perhaps a rug gripper (a mesh liner you can buy at Bed Bath and Beyond) may help keep it secure on thicker carpet.

I believe it would if used gently... It does have an attachment. Also would depend on how thick the carpet is.

Yes, but it dosent work very well. It dosent pick up anything bigger then a dime. And if you have carpet that has any length at all it dosent even do that.

I don't have thick carpet so I don't know.Maybe get a piece of plywood and I suspect it will be ok.Scale has an error of about plus/minus 5lbs...

It should be fine. I have used it on a hardwood but it should be more stable on carpet.

I only have a few thin carpets but it's completely smooth on those. I'd venture it'd be good although thick shag may slow it down.

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?

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

It might work if your carpet has a very low nap. Otherwise, you will need something with a rotating brush to pick up the hair from a thicker carpet. It is fairly powerful for the size and works well on floors.

it's designed for light duty, for small area of carpet, it works fine, but I would not recommend this for carpet.

It's pretty thin, but the top is crinkled, so less slippery than carpet. Your weight would push whatever touches the floor down into the mat--so it might actually be worth a try.

It does fine on short standard carpet, not sure how well it would do with the longer type.

No this vacuum will not remove hair from thin carpet and it does not do a great job on hard floors. This vacuum has very poor suction. Eureka makes the Eureka Easy Clean 2 in 1 Lightweight Vacuum, 169B that does a great job on this and low pile carpeting. Here is the link to it on Amazon.Eureka Easy Clean 2 in 1 Lightweight Vacuum, 169B

After using this machine, I don';t feel it would work too well on shaggier carpets. It is a low sweeper. Our carpet is a medium nape and works well.
