Is this o.k. for carpet cleaning?

i have used it on my carpets and rugs but it says to "freshen" carpets. It does make them look nice and gets rids of odors and germs with the steam. Although, I use the carpet shampooer to clean up dirt and stains. It says to test it in a inconspicuous area.

Yes - mine are berber / looped so it cleans it just fine. I would suspect it may pickup carpet fibers with regular carpets - but maybe a tad more than regular vacuums

No, it isn't. It's great for removing the pet hair and leaves no trace on regular carpeting.

yes. it works like a carpet sweeper, in my opinion. go back and forth. we have hardwood and area rugs and are very happy with it.

No, it's not. It is a bit of a workout to clean your carpet but it's worth it.

This is a small vacuum for carpet corners, steps etc... You wouldn't us it to vacuum and entire carpet.

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.

I do not use my carpet cleaner as a vacuum cleaner. The instruction manual warns against that idea repeatedly. I vacuum area(s) several times before I steam clean.

i use it mostly for carpet. i like the way it is a quick fix for small messes. i do use it for some hardwood floors so it should work.

I really do not have an anwer for that. I was not happy with mine and returned it because it did not clean any spots on the carpet. I am just being honest about the product.

I haven't tried to spot clean my carpet with this unit yet but I'm sure it would work. Carpets are steam cleaned all the time. If you're unsure if your carpet is color fast I'd first try it in an inconspicuous spot. This has got to be one of the very best products I've ever purchased.

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 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.

I have only used it on carpets but you can email the company and they can provide additional info if you need it. They have great customer service.

I really think this should be called a carpet sweeper. I don't think its worth the effort using it on hard floors and just use it on my rugs. I use an old fashioned broom on the rest.

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

Not really. It's more of a dustbuster with a long stick option. It won't dig deep into pile to pull up pet hair and dirt. For that you need a "real" vacuum cleaner. The advantage of the ergo is quick & small jobs or a quick once-over of the home. Great for dustbunnies, cheerios, tufts of pet hair and human hair. Not a go-to for a thorough carpet cleaning.
