'do you use straight suction on carpet?' Nope, it doesn't work anywhere near as well as agitation + suction. Besides, who wants to waste time scrubbing at a carpet manually, when a powered agitator can do the job effortlessly and far more efficiently. | ||

Occasionally, on very low pile carpet, I'll use a straight suction nozzle, but not for "serious" cleaning. | ||

LOL, U need 2 do what U want 2 dooooooooo...
However... that said, proper cleaning of any carpet requires three (3) things: 1) airflow (aka suction [Incorrectly known as vacuum, yet accepted as such -- LOL]) 2) vibration (aka agitation), & 3) height adjustment (proper). btw -- Those are proven FACTS , NOT mho. LOL (Lab tests, carpet manufacturers, Consumer Ripppppoffffs [oops, Reportzzzzzz], & in the REAL world, you & I live in. But again, Uuuuuuu need 2 do what Uuuuu want 2 dooooooooo... Have a wonderful night (or day, depending on when or if you read this.) Bill | ||

sometimes for a quick cleanup. I usually do a big cleanup once a week but occaisionally, it needs a quick run over during the week. I use Henry on the wood floor in my living room/kitchen and sometimes if I can't be bothered switching vacuums I'll just use him on the hall and bedroom carpets to get the bits up and keep it looking presentable. But for a big cleanup, I always use and upright or cylinder with a turbo brush on the carpets.

I'd say commercial style carpet only. The pile is so low it really doesn't matter what you use. | ||

I don't use straight suction alone, but I have seen some of the newer carpeting (Frize (sp)) that suggests/requires straight suction. I personally don't like that style of carpet in the first place, and would feel like it wasn't clean. Reminds me of the 70's again Shag it all. | ||

I have a Siberian Husky and if you've pet one, you'll know how much one sheds. I MUST use a vacuum with a brush roll to get the pet hair off. Even if there if no pet hair (rarely) and I vacuum with straight suction on carpet, it does not feel clean. Now if there is just food crumbs on carpet I normally use straight suction.
