suction too strong for 5 X 7 area rug
Hello. I have the same question as another reviewer. Because I have pets that shed a lot, I wanted to try the Dyson. The Dyson DC 40 is great on the flat vinyl and tile floors. I can easily move from flat surface to flat surface -- but low pile area rugs stop the Dyson DC 40. I switch to the tools that came with it but its awkward to switch tools in the middle of vaccuming. If you plan to switch from flat surface to low pile area rug, be aware that the suction is so strong that it stops the vaccum cleaner immediately and you cannot push it forward. Is there a tool to make the task of going from flat surface to low pile area rug easier?
We use our DC 40 on both flat surface, i.e., hardwood, and low pile area rugs. Have not had any problems. We do empty the canister about every other time we use the DC40. When the spirit moves me I take it all apart and blow it with a shop vac otherwise we have had no problems. Highly recommended. Btw, we also have a long-haired dog.
