Can you vacuum deep pile carpeting...is there an adjustment?
469497
Yes, you can. Right beneath the handle of the vacuum there is a gray band that adjusts. Turn the adjustment to the pile of the carpet. You might have to experiment on your deep pile carpet. I use the extreme suction on my deep pile carpet as it pulls from the deep fibers but then, that is my preference. NOTE: When the band is fully closed the power suction is greatest. When it is turned slightly, the suction dissipates for different flow. Check your manual as it explains how to use the gray adjustment band. Hope this helps.

Absolutely. We have both low and medium pile carpets in our home and this vacuum does a great job with all of them. It's a powered floor tool and there's an adjustment on the canister which allows you to set it for the various pile heights. We have 3 dogs and 2 cats, and it only takes one pass of the vacuum to get all the hair off the carpets.

No, because it adjusts to height when you push it, just like a regular vacuum.

Yes. There is a button you push, which adapts the vacuum for hardwoods. It works quite well. We have hardwoods in several areas and am pleased with the performance. I hope this helps.

I don't have carpeted stairs so I can't really answer that, but when I try to vacuum upholstered furniture the brushes stop rotating unless you apply the lightest touch possible, which means that it doesn't really pick up well unless you keep going over the same spot picking up a little more each time, which is a pain in the butt. I don't recommend buying it.

If you are talking about height adjustments for the vacuum head for carpet pile; the one I bought has NO height adjustments. Mine has carpet setting and for floor setting where the roller does not turn. They may have a new model now that does. Hope that helps.

I have 20 years experience with Panasonic uprights in my cleaning business, all with the automatic height adjustment. If you have height adjustment, if you set it too low you may run into "drag" from too much suction. More often, I have found the problem of "hard to push" occurs more from the construction of the carpet than from the vacuum cleaner. Specifically the way the backing is constructed on the underside of the carpet. Try this: if you're getting too much drag pushing the vacuum "lengthwise" on the carpet, try turning it 90 degrees and go "crosswise". Sometimes the backing on the carpet is inhibiting the gliding. That's all I can offer and I hope it helps. I have 20 years experience with Panasonic uprights in my cleaning business, all with the automatic height adjustment.

The manual has good step-by-step instructions on removing clogs. You can use Google to download a manual. My old vac had a manual adjustment for carpet pile height, just like the Kenmore. I had it set too low and it was pulling the fibers out of the pile and clogging. Do you have your vac's height set too low for your carpets? My Kenmore has never clogged.

We also have area rugs, and the Dyson does a really good job on them! The brush assembly kinda' "floats" so we use it on rugs of varying thickness and pile quite successfully.

No, and thats what I purchased the vacuum for. The beater brush in the power head is controlled by air and is very weak. The suction is just average and I find that carpets need a strong beater bar or brush to reach below the carpet surface and agitate the carpet while the suction removes dust and dirt.

I used a dry vacuum and it wasn't effective. Maybe if you used resolve and then used a regular (wet) carpet cleaner it might help. I don't know. For me, it wasn't effective.

No height adjustment just brush on or off for hard floors. I have some very short napped deck rugs. It works great on hard floor & those rugs. But a reg napped carpet I can imagine would be pretty hard to push.

There are floor and carpet settings, with pile depth settings for carpet. I've never had specific want ti turn the rotation off, but it may automatically do so on floor setting, for it becomes quite apparent the "auto-drive of carpet vacuum ceases. Truth is, there's no obvious off button and I just don't know.

We do not have any medium pile, all low, but the vacuum does an excellent job of picking up dog hair and minimizing dog order. I will say that when the powerhead is on, the suction is so good that it can be very difficult to move on the carpet.

I only use carpet mode on extra low for all floors. Make sure to empty canister after every use. It such ks go so much hair that it needs it.

May be! I have not tried it on carpet. You can turn off the brush, but the suction is too strong and is not adjustable.

To adjust for various carpet heights, there is a rotating dial on the base-front of the vacuum. It has 4 basic settings, which will accommodate most floors. I hope this answers your question.
