does it perform well on carpeted stairs?

Yes it does. Especially when you put the head directly on the short handle instead of the extendable arm

No, not really. You have to really work to get it to pick up stuff off carpet. Kills my back. My Wal-Mart "cheapy" works just as well if not better.

It is not the heavy duty big Dyson, that I thought. I got it because I have hardwood floors. It is a very small vacuum. There is a little power head that comes with it for carpet and I have used it to vacuum the door mats etc. and it is fine. I do not have carpeted stairs. It is very light weight and easy to walk around with

Yes, works very well on stairs. Just remove the long tube and connect the power head directly to the motor unit.

I have two of them. Works fine on carpet or hard wood. Never had a problem.

Never used it like that, butI have carpeted stairs and it does a great job on the cat hair. I guess it should work just as well on a flat rug. It's easy to clean too.

I have not used it on carpet. However, it does have an attachment for carpet use.

I use mine on carpet...no problems so far. I don't have the instructions handy to confirm that carpet is OK.

You can use it on stairs, but the thing you have to remember is that this is a vacuum to remove SURFACE dirt / debris. It doesn't have enough suction power to pull dirt out of the carpet. This is best used on solid surface floors or tight weave carpets. In a pinch you can use it on your stairs, but if you want the carpet to be clean and to last you'll need to use standard vacuum.

Yes, you must vacuum first. Carpeted stairs should not be a problem. The unit it light weight and maneuverable enough for stairs.

This model works fairly well on hardwood floors, not as well on carpet. I have owned this model for about three years and would say that it is an average vacuum cleaner in quality.

Yes, my nephew sets it up on my parents living room floor that is carpeted and it runs perfectly fine. I hope this helps.

Works best on smooth floors, i.e. hardwood, tile, etc. I've tried it on carpet and it doesn't move well.

I haven't used it on carpet. But I assume if U put one of those plastic chair mats down, that it should work fine.

I think it would work on your stairs. I have two smaller area rugs I use it on and it works well for them.

I only have two bedrooms with carpet but it works well. The turbine brush seems to be pretty strong and capable on carpet. I have had far more expensive vacuum cleaners function less effectively on carpet than this unit. I am happy with it especially that I can easily go from my hardwood floors, to my tile floors, to my carpet floors.

yes. it moves fairly easily even on carpet. the only thing I don't like about is, that it is unattractive.

Yes, that was a main reason for purchasing it. It has a smaller head attachment that can be used for stairs. However, it is also easy to vacuum carpeted stairs with it as is, because it is lightweight and swivels.

I have a garden home with a narrow, carpeted stairwell. I use it on my stairs and love it. It's important to change/clean the filter when you start to notice a loss in suction.
