Does it have a problem vacuuming large black rugs?

I have had mine for about 3-4 months now and it will vacuum the rugs that we have but its not the best. Clean enough for display though. If its a big mess use a regular vacuum. We vacuum our rugs with a regular every weekend just to get the fine particles that have fallen in the rug.

No problem at all. I have a large rug that is almost like shag carpet. It vacuums it and does it well. I have two large furry dogs and a cat, this thing is a life saver. I used to vacuum every couple days, now I can wait a week.

I think it takes a lot more battery power, but I just used mine on extremely thick at leas 1" carpet or more and it didn't have a problem cleaningthrough it.

I'll have to check the manual. My only problem with the vacuum,though, is that dirt and dust sometimes collect in the roller brush housing. Still, a good machine.

Not very well at all. It's mostly a hard flooring sweeper. I really like mine for that purpose but when it gets to my large area rug it has a hard time and you can tell it's working extra hard and still not picking up all that much.

Our dustbuster does a very good job picking up dirt and pet hair off our hard wood floors. As far as our couches and rugs go, it lacks the power needed for the pet hair .removal

I have had no issues with the Roomba making transitions from wood to rugs. I occasionally use the regular vacuum for the rugs, because it is more powerful.

I use it to vacuum the throw rugs at the front and back doors. I just step on a corner of the throw rug an it cleans it up. I also have a runner in the bath room that I vacuum with this and as long as I put a foot on 1 corner there are no problems. But your right; it does have a lot of suction....and that's a good thing!

No, not this model but i would say it is very powerful for such a small & inexpensive vacuum. I got it because it was so light weight and was very surprised at what a good job it does on both the bare floor & rug.

Works very well on carpets and rugs. I don't care for it as much on bare floors unless I use a non- rotating attachment. The way you disable the rotating brushes on the standard attachment is by this trigger that opens up an air inlet thereby causing the brush mechanism to lose suction and stop turning. Problem is that it seems to also lower the suction overall so it doesn't pick up a lot of stuff. My solution is to use one of the optional attachments or to just let the brushes run even on bare floors. They are soft and don't leave any scratches. Overall I really like this vacuum cleaner. It seems effortless to move around. Much better than my old canister vacuum. It also takes up surprisingly little room.

The 650 model does NOT work on black carpet. We had a rug with black in it & had to replace it with a rug with no black.

I bought this sweeper specifically because the pet model from Bissell was not available, and the heavy duty was backordered. We have four cats, two dogs, and sometimes have two other dogs visit for "sleepovers." This sweeper picks up pet hair quite well. Might I also add that I use the little spin-sweeper handle for our carpeted stairs, and it grabs hair well. The only issue I have ever had fighting hair has been in our car, and that is because we did not sweep out our car for a long time; this resulted in the hair's burrowing itself deep into the carpet. (Bulldog hairs have barbs on them that face the opposite direction, and they are hard to remove from car carpeting.)

I do not recommend this vacuum if you have extremely thick carpet. I have medium thick carpet and oriental rugs and wood flooring combo. The vacuum has two adjustments--one for the carpet--one for the rugs/hardwood flooring. It has been just what I needed since it is also light and easy to carry upstairs!

I have two very small area rugs, and it picks up cat hair from them very well. It's a very low pile (I think that's the term), and I suspect that would be key. It also picks up hair from my upholstered chairs like a champ.

No, but don't let that worry you. This is by far the best vac. I've had. I have wooden floors and rugs, and a very hariry dog. Picks everything up. The lady that cleans for me, loves this vac.

I can say, that with this Eureka Upright, "Billy"(our big brute) and "Betty" (our pretty kitty) who's long white fur was everywhere. On the very first time we used the vac on the hallway runner rugs, I was totally amazed on how well it picked up all the fur. To be honest. I have not used the small power brush attachment. Like the other answer, the vac is heavy. It has literally picked up better, than anything I have used before, especially for its price.

No it is not built well. I have 1 large area rug in my house and the rest is hardwood. I used this vacuum 3 times and it no longer picks up anything. I checked the filter and all the connections and cannot figure out what is wrong with it. Finally gave up and bought a different vacuum. This thing is a piece of junk!

I haven't had problems with that, but I don't use this vacuum much because of other issues (namely that it is hard to steer and hurts my back trying to run it).
