Because of the great suction has anyone noticed that their medium to high pile carpets are getting worn or fuzzy?

I have used my Shark Navigator at least twice weekly, sometimes more, on my medium pile carpet ever since the Shark came onto the market. The quality of my carpet is a low end of high grade, so not the most expensive but definitely a quality carpet. I moved furniture to check, and in answer to your question, there was no difference in the traffic and non-traffic areas.

Suction is awesome but you have to clean the filter regularly. When the suction isn't very good that's when you will need to clean the filter. It works great on area rugs!

Do you like your carpets and floors really clean? I have not been happy with the suction on the Eureka RapidClean at all. Even when using the handheld alone, the stuff sucked up would fall back out.

Due to the great suction and the head peice lowers to the conture of floors

the Power head has some good suction, on my smaller rugs, I have to tone it down so it doesn't suck them up.

It does get stuck on my carpet sometimes. Mine is thick though, medium pile.

I don't see this problem, but I don't have wall to wall carpeting, just large area rugs (although some are rather thick it still works well on those). I also never had problems with it clogging or losing suction - but since it does do a good job, I do have to empty it more often, especially since it's small. I think once my brush stopped because it was wrapped in hair (I have long hair) and once I removed it, it was fine. So I make sure to periodically check the brush for anything wrapped around it (hair, string, etc.)

Mine is on medium carpet, and it's been doing just fine. Not a single problem.

I learned the hard way that u have to turn the spinning brush off. Otherwise it just throws dirt everywhere. I recently got new carpet and I guess it is a little to plush. It used to flow great from carpet to hard wood with my thinner carpet.

I had the same problem when I used mine. I had been forgetting to set it on the lowest setting after doing rugs. Now I keep mine on the lowest foe even rugs and it works better picking up dirt. Be warned though if you ever take it apart to clean the roller and inside it doesn't fit together right again and doesn't sit as low to the floor. Mine did that anyway. Hope this helps. New vacuums are like xmas to me!

Our carpet is not plush. It worked well until it got clogged. I have not had this problem before and took it in to get cleaned, $53 later. Will pick it up this week.

no but I have found that if you remove the brush assembly and then go back over the carpet, the vacuum is more powerful and picks up the excess water in the carpet even better

I'm not sure about cleaning the filters more often cause I recently bought new ones, but I have noticed that I'm having to back wash more often since I've put this vacuum in

You might have the external vaccum hose loose, or your floor is really really dusty. Vi've owned 5 and never had that issue. One model was with poor suction, so I ordered another

Hi. The closest I'd have to area rugs are the extra mats that I put down in our front entrance for the winter months. The vacuum suction can be lowered very easily [there's a dial on the vacuum to increase/decrease suction power] so I do not have any issues.Regards,Duane

I used mine on plush carpet for months and haven't damaged it. I moved it and it does leave some impressions that gradually come out with vacuuming.

I haven't had a problem either, as the other person said, I do place it on non carpet area when I stop it just because a little residual seems to come out when I let it set sometimes. I love the machine, it does a great job and I have 4 dogs in and out all day every day! Hope you find a fix :)
