I've had the very same problem. For me, it also depends on the carpet. I think one thing that contributes to the problem is the lip on the rug plate. The Classic series had a wider lip, which made it easier to glide across the carpet. However, the Heritage series has a thinner lip. Because of that, I think it tends to dig into the carpet.

Frieze thick carpet and my Heritages push easily across the carpet . They must be clean and have no soap residue and can't be humid in house which would cause drag . Sole plate must be clean and you can polish it to make it slicker .
Raise carpet nozzle all the way up then push one click at a time until you hear a tone change once you hear it click once more and the Kirby is perfectly set and should glide over carpet with just a little bit more effort than the self propelled models . Dan |
