I have found it really tough to know which setting is best for my carpets. The Maytag has 6 settings and there are so many types of carpets, what the heck is low, medium, and high? Most of my carpets are cheap builder quality that have a slight pile to them. They aren't flat but not real plush either. The carpet we put in the family room is a thicker pile which you can dig your feet into. It is what I see as most popular right now. The other carpets in the house do show foot prints and vacuum tracks but not very well. If the carpet has just been vacuumed, it is more prominent. The family carpet will show every footprint imaginable.
So, am I overthinking this one? I want to ensure optimal airflow and agitation. This is easy on the Kirby, although I have read they changed their method on the Avalair. Any recommendations? |

Avalir video is the worst. I commented on this as well when it first came out. I have the Avalir and am even wondering if the ratcheting lever notches are somewhat different, from the prior models? I listen for the motor change and then lower one more notch. On the Avalir their is a slight motor change one notch higher than on previous models, but I still wait for the complete motor change and then go one more notch. Wonder if this has to do with the newer style brush rolls being made?
