How does it work on Carpeted stairs and wood stairs? Also how close to the wall does it clean?

It works equally well on all surfaces. It does not get closer walls than an traditional vaccum.

I am very happy with this vac. Does great on carpeted and wood stairs and floors! It gets pretty close to walls when it cleans but you'll need a canister vac to really do a thorough job. But how often do you do that? This is a great vac with very good power. I love it! Hope this helps.

The airbrush does work well on carpets. I used it on my carpets, then went over the area with my wind tunnel vacuum to see if it left anything behind on the carpets. They were clean and free of pet hair. I have 3 cats and it does a great job.

Works well on MY stairs. It may depend on the carpet you have, the physical wear and the staining, but mine come clean well....

I think it would work on your stairs. I have two smaller area rugs I use it on and it works well for them.

Yes, it works really well. I have a small apartment and wall to wall carpeting. It keeps it fresh and picks up well. I was surprised at how well it works. Wouldn't work for heavy duty carpet work, but a small space like mine it is perfect.

Comes with 3 attachments - use the one for nooks and crannies around the edges, then the one depicted in the photo for most of the carpeted stair - I own 2 of these guys - best I've found - works fine for me - have never used the 3rd attachment - just haven't thought about its use.

Does OK. I usually use it on carpet and rugs. I like the steam vac better for wood floors.

Yes, it is great for stairs. It is light weight, so you can easily manage steps. You can either use it with the floor tool attached to the pole, allowing you to stand straight up and cover each step in a motion or two or you can detach the pole and use the hose, bending a bit to get to any cracks or crevices. Again, because it is light weight, bending isn't an issue while wearing the vacuum. And the standard floor tool that the vacuum comes with works well on most carpets (this is because the vacuum has such powerful suction) so you can move seamlessly from hard floor to carpeted steps without having to switch tools.

Yes, you must vacuum first. Carpeted stairs should not be a problem. The unit it light weight and maneuverable enough for stairs.

Yes it seems to clean everything well, although you have to lift it up the stairs. Only issue is to avoid fringes on edges of oriental rugs, it likes to get wound in them....

See the dustbin in the center? That whole piece lifts off the large base and you can bring the smaller unit into tight spaces and up and down stairs. The hose and attachments allow you to vacuum the steps. I love not having to lug the whole vacuum when cleaning my steps. I use the crevice tool, not the rotating brush. A couple passes with the crevice tool picks everything up.

It's not the best for cleaning edges of carpet or in the corners. You could use the attachment, but you would have to clean it manually. Hope this info helps.

I've only tried it on hardwood floors and small rugs. I'm pleased with the suction on both. It does clean well.

I have two of them. Works fine on carpet or hard wood. Never had a problem.

Well, we have a low pile carpeting, almost like berber, and it works well. I just had to open an adjustment on the turbobrush to allow the brush to rotate faster. If you have a higher pile, I would consider a model with the powerhead. As far as for the wood floors, I will never use a broom again. It's so smooth and you feel like no dust is being stirred.

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.)

I use the accessories for the stairs. It cleans it great.... There's a dial that you move for "tools" and it allows you to use the extensions instead of the shampooer itself. It cleans great.
