Q: QuestionDoes this vacuum work well on wool area rugs?

Asked 4 years ago by Rosie.

• A:Answer Bought this model yesterday, after my 20 y/o Dyson finally bit the dust. I do NOT recommend it if you have wool rugs. It's way too hard to push on them and even harder to pull the vacuum back, plus it beats the heck out of the rug, even on the highest setting. Also do not recommend if you have arthritis or are older as both my husband and I find this design to be awkward to manage and use. The suction is great, true, but if I can't use it, that doesn't matter! It will be returned on Monday.

Q: Questionis the filter washable ,if not how long does the filter last

Asked 4 years ago by bigr.

• A:Answer It is a spong fliter so I believe you could hand wash and let air dry. I have not had mine long enough to get it that dirty. However, it does really get that deep down dirt in carpets. and if you have pets and used other so called pet vaccums just to have them jam or get clogged I have two dogs that shed all the time and this has yet to cause any issues.

Q: QuestionDoes this vacuum have a light on the handle when you disconnect it from the body to use the attachments,?

Asked 2 years ago by light.

• A:Answer Thanks for your input! I had an older Shark that had lights on the floor nozzle AND lights in the handle. Thought it was the best thing ever. Replaced that vacuum years later and the new one did t have it. Couldn’t imagine them not making that a standard thing on all vacuums! Makes cleaning under things so much nicer! It’s time to replace my vacuum again and I want o e with a lighted handle - that also has the new Brian roll that doesn’t get tangled with hair. Sigh.

Q: QuestionWill this work on a carpet nap that is 1.5” tall. My back-up vacuums, a Shark Navigator lift-away, will not work on this carpet. The beater brush won’t operate. Is this unit more powerful than my current Navigator? Will it work on this thick carpet?

Asked 4 years ago by SteveB.

• A:Answer Yes, it will work. I use it on my shag rug. Instead of having a regular brush roller, it has “fins” on the roller so it doesn’t get tangled in thicker carpet.

Asked 2 years ago by aignacio.
