Has anyone use this to clean area rugs or carpet?

We have not attempted to use the unit on carpet of any kind. We bought it for cleaning tile floors and can't say that we have been impressed with the results. The white grout still looks dark gray. So it is in a closet for lack of a better use.

your grout is gray b/c you have been using soap on the floor which runs to the lowest point, i.e. grout which then becomes a magnet for dirt. your going to have to use a product to remove the soap in the grout, like nano scrub and then reseal the grout. never use soap

I can't use full power on area rugs it sucks them off the floor. I use a turbo nozzle with rotating brush it has enough suction to power it. Cleans my carpets better than Eureka upright with brush. It is a commercial vac very well made comes with a 2 year warranty.

I have used it on the carpet, but really only as a sweeper. It works well in that regard. I have pets, so just adding steam without extracting anything is asking to make my house smell like a wet dog :)

We use it mostly for floors and we sometimes use it for an oriental rug we have. I don't think it would do such a good job on a thick carpet. We bought it mostly for cleaning after meals ( we have 3 little children) and just everyday mess and we're more than happy with it.

I use his both on wall to wall carpet and area rugs as small as 3' x 5'. I use it often on walk through areas as well. I had a hard to clean area where my cat had thrown up repeatedly from illness and this wonderful machine restored my carpet again. Can't say enough nice things about Bissell products. I also have their Spot Bot.

Works great on our flatweave area rug - Neato cleans as part of the regular schedule, moving from hardwood to rug with no issues, and we've also spot cleaned just the rug. We have our rug on a non-slip pad, so I'm not sure if there would be any issue on a rug that is directly on the floor or a non-flatweave.

No, it does not. It is not designed for deep carpet cleaning, but does okay on surfaces.

This vacuum might be too strong for area rugs because if the edges of the rug isn't glued down, it will get stuck in the roller/beater bar. You should definitely not use this vacuum if you have an area rug with tassels because they will get stuck inside the roller bar. This vacuum is best for wall to wall carpeting. It is extremely powerful.

I think it would be fine for a small rug. I only use it to clean a bedroom carpet and it works pretty well. My carpet will usually dry in less than four hours. It is not as powerful as my first carpet cleaner, but overall, I am pleased with it's performance. I do miss the hand held attachment for concentrating on some stains instead of the ole' soap and a scrub brush routine, but it works.

Yes, I used it on our carpet to clean up a kitty mishap. Worked like a charm and did not damage the carpet

No it does not. This vacuum does a great job on area rugs, it is pretty powerful, but I wouldnt use it for a whole house carpeted floors.

Yes, I have used my Carpet Cleaner, it is wonderful, the machine is of light weight and very easy to handle, as I ama Senior Citizen and I could handle it well.

I bought it specifically for hardwood floors and flat weave sisal rugs. It works great and has excellent suction. It has a carpet attachment brush but it doesn't appear substantial enough to do a really deep cleaning on high pile.

Yes! Rather well, too. It gets all the cat litter out of my bathroom rugs and the carpet in the hallway outside the door. The suction surprised me, really. I actually have to push the vacuum away from me while sometimes stepping on the rugs to vacuum them.

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

I don't have carpet but it rolls easily on my short-fiber rugs. I'm not sure if the suction would be adequate to clean a carpet.

Yes, it works on area rugs. Now that I've had this for years, I want to point out that you have to go to a vacuum store to get the dust bags. They are a weird design, but still very effective. I love this cleaner.
