Re: Best vacuum for low - medium loop pile carpet??

Thanks to everyone for all these info. This is definitely useful.

To Carmine -> actually my wife and I had thought initially about a Miele
canister (being European) with a power brush attachment, until I start
to read more about loop carpet and vacuum.

To Mole-> I am intrigued by the Sanitaire sc785.

While not as light and inexpensive as a Hoover Tempo, the price point makes it interesting
compared to the other more expensive option. 

Thanks - Didier

Hi Didier,

"Suction only" means making use of canister vacuum with a straight suction rug tool or an upright vacuum with its brush roll turned off. I have only heard of this recommendation for cleaning very old museum quality and/or expensive "oriental" carpets. If your new carpeting is standard broadloom installed wall-to-wall its care is best served by either an upright or canister vacuum with a revolving brush.


Venson and all,

Thanks for your reply.

My wife and I found the following comments on some sites like Amazon ->

Hard to say, but after reading this I thought I would ask. Our carpet is not exactly berber but definitely wall-to-wall loop carpet
in multiple rooms of our 2nd story.

Thanks - Didier.

Thanks again for all these info.
Best vacuum for low - medium loop pile carpet??

My wife and I finally finished to remodel / update our house.

We went with a loop pile carpet. However I am starting to realize that our
old Hoover WT with his rotating brush is not adapted to this type our carpet.

So far it seems we need a "suction only" vacuum cleaner. Is this correct?

If so, which vacuum cleaner (upright or canister) should we go with?
Oreck? Riccar? Hoover?

Thanks - Didier.
