I might just use my AEG canister vacuum with the Miele SEB-217 powerhead (soft bristles) regularly and then use the upright about once a month to give a more deep cleaning.

Yes aggressive brush rolls with stiff bristles WILL cause damage to delicate carpeting. There’s a delicate brush roll strip available from SEBO with green bristles. It should slip into the brush roll of the Karcher will no problems; goes under model number 2046G.
Alternatively try the 4th setting or highest setting on the upright if you must use it on delicate flooring. Personally I use delicate brush strips on ALL of my Sebo uprights BAR the X1 Auto which is fine with its standard brush roller. |

That delicate brush roll strip from the SEBO would be exactly what I need! |

I don't know if you live with your Parents and do all of the vacuuming. If you brought this vacuum over to use on their carpets, then, I could see that you got a lot of fluff up. What type of vacuum do your Parents have? New? Older? Upright? Canister with a powernozzle? Also, is the carpeting new? Is it wool? I have only wool carpeting in my house and it always "pills" thus causing a lot of fluff when I vacuum. Just my ideas, hope it will help you somehow.
