When vacuuming a rug, is the vacuum brush thin enough to fit under furniture?

It would depend on how high off the ground the furniture is. I have a bench with a 4 inch clearance, and I'm able to vacuum under it no problem, but at that point I'm holding the wand basically parallel to the ground. If you have 4 inches of clearance and space to lay the wand out on the floor, it should fit. I'd say check it out in person at a store if you're really concerned about it.

It depends how high is your furniture? I have no problem with my furniture so I have to say yes!!!

Hi, I guess it depend upon your furniture. My couch has a very low opening in the front so the carpet attachment does not fit under mine.

Depends on the space under the furniture, the brush is about 2 1/2 inches high.

the wand it not too long, you still have to bend over. The carpet Brush is not that powerful, the brush rotates because of the suction of the vacuum, not motor on the brush. this vacuum is better for wood or tile floors.

Not very well. It will work so so on low pile carpets but won't go at all on thicker stuff.

Yes! I am using it on the same model I have a long haired dog and got tired of the hair winding around the power beater bar head. Very low profile to get under furniture.

If you vacuum a small amount of hair only on the hardwood, I would hope the function would be adequate, but I've found mine is marginal and inconsistent. There really isn't an attachment to help with furniture. It's sad to have such a clear failure from Dyson. I was previously a huge fan.

Will this get under the floor cabinets in the kitchen? My current Dyson is too tall and doe reach all the way under the floor cabinet lip. Thanks.

It works well in area rugs,but once the brush becomes filled with hair, the vacuume will not suck up.

It's a dream machine and I especially like it under the dining room table and other hard to get to places. The brush is as effective as my hoover floor vac. I don't use the brush on upholstery.

No not to my furniture anyway. Under the furniture has to be done with the extension hose and attachments. I wish they had included a dust brush with the attachments.

If it's a rug that lays flat and close to the floor it will vacuum right over it just fine. We've seen ours vacuum over window drapes without snagging.

No problem vacuuming under beds and most furniture, but our couch and love seat sits low, and so the nozzle doesn't go all the way under.

I don't think it would be too strong, but on rugs it is like any other vacuum, when you get close to the edges it will get sucked up and you have to turn if off to release it.

No. For hardwood, you should buy a canister vacuum. Canister vacs are lighter, and allow you more easily to get under furniture and into corners. I love my Kirby, but I never use it on my hardwood floors. You simply don't need that kind of power to clean wood floors. A Kirby is also not the easiest vacuum to use on area rugs since they are not tacked down. For wall-to-wall carpet, the Kirby is great. But in your situation, there are much less expensive options that will work better. And the Kirby is heavy, very heavy.

It will not lie "flat" with the floor attachment installed. The attachment only folds down to a point where the motor and handle are about 10" from the floor. This will only allow it to go under a standard bed frame about 18". However, the floor attachment can be removed, then the vacuum will go completely under a bed in a full flat position.

I think it would depend on the weight of the frig and the thickness of the carpet. While the mat is very substantial, I don't think it would be suitable under a full size frig, especially on a deep pile rug. It may work o.k. under a compact frig like the ones found in some hotel rooms.

I have laminate flooring with rugs. No problem so far. I use the shark on the lower setting on the floor.

I use this on my hardwood floors in my living room...I just put a square of drawer liner under it. As others have written, i wouldn't drag or slide it across.
