Oddly, I'm asking this question AFTER I have bought this. Can someone please tell me what attachment to use for carpets? Nothing seems to cut it.

All you need to do is flip the lever on the same head you use for hard wood or any type of tiles. Hope this helps!

Honestly in my opinion of using a few of.these, carpet is no good, but it really likes to stick to hard wood floor. Only problem is it will stick to the floor but then rip off from the material.

sorry, I don't have such a carpet. I would think, because the suction is quite strong, you will have a hard time with a shaggy carpet. It would probably even tear out some of the fibers. Also you would get stuck quite a bit, since your carpet is thick. Just assuming. Or you purchase one at Walmart, try it out and return it when it does not work for you. ........make sure you keep the receipt ! :) ;)

I would advise you reach out to the Great Vacs folks, very responsive, to see what additional attachments would be needed.A squeegie attachment is available for wood, stone, linoleum etc. The vac itself I found to be so delightful that when I lost this model back in a 90s breakup, I continued thinking about it until I finally bought one again a month ago.

No. The brushroller does not have enough power for thicker carpets, and will likely stop. You may get it to work a little bit if you go really slow.

it has a carpet attachment, but the only time I've used it it didn't really work very well. I know it works swimmingly on hard work floors.

I have not used it on rugs but it does not suction up anything, I think you are looking for the bissell spotbot.

I used my old Rainbow wand(not the beater bar) with an attachment for cleaning hard floors. It did not fit snugly so I had used tape to keep the suction strong-worked well(but I am getting some kind of rubber gasket to make it easier). I am not sure of your purpose- to bring up the nap while using suction? This model is small but the power and suction is every bit as good as a Dyson(even a friend of mine with a Dyson said as much after using it), so maybe use the rake on the carpet first and then just vacuum as you usually would? It's a great little vacuum, just needs to be emptied sooner than larger models.

I would not use it. There are other attachments for carpets that would work better. I would be afraid to bend the pins on the tool and ruin a great tool for dogs.

Never used it to clean carpet. Can't really see how it can clean carpet. Use it to do tile floor.

This is a wonderful product. I use it on carpets, bare floors and tile with perfect results. Just place carpet glide attachment on when doing carpets and rugs. Hope this helps.

I find the suction is really good with the attachments. I do have to be careful to not accidentally whisk by an unintended target and suck it up. I will have to say...on another subject.... that it is really hard to get a good suction on an uneven carpet. I purchased a rug with different heights and I find that the vacuum is not heavy enough to get a good suction. I have to go over it numerous time to get the dirt (front hall rug). Now I wish it was a little heavier to really get a good suction.

The one made for wood floors seems to be thin enough you could cut it with a heavy pair of scissors or shears. The one made for carpet you would definitely need a good pair of shears.

I believe it specifies a "Hoover" carpet cleaning solution but any carpet cleaning solution would work, even a DIY one (you can google it)

Sorry, shag carpet is difficult to clean without a shag carpet "rake" attachment. The Hoover I reviewed does not have , or offer, a rake attachment.. It has the suction but not the correct tool.

My bad...I've had mine so long, I forgot about the carpet glide attachment. I have only used mine on hard surfaces.

I wish I had more information with your question. I imagine you could connect any sort of wand to the end of the hose provided the wand iis the right diameter. If your intent is to attach a carpet rake to the end of the wand, I do not see why this would not work. It all boild down to whether you can get the wand to mate with the end of the hose. Now, all that said, I can't imagine this vacuum being all that ergonomic used in this configuration. I hope that helps.
