QuestionIs this vacuum good for area rugs or is the suction to much that it will suck the rug into the brush and stop it from spinning
Asked 9 months ago by Burl.
- Answer It’s perfect for rugs but depends how heavy and rough your rug is. For example my rug is heavy and rough so the carpet never gets stuck do to the vacuums suction. And the vacuum, for this model, has two interchangeable brush heads. One made for wooden floors and carpets and one made to vacuum carpet to perfection, by creating an incredibly stronger suction.
