New Carpet with Vacuum Limits
I want to clarify my earlier post. It was just ONE Dyson upright that caused the damage and just my Hoover Windtunnel upright.
I stopped using the German made power nozzle too because I could see it was going to have the same result though at a slower rate.
I have noticed with many of the newer cleaners on You Tubes, what you see is carpet fluff. My old beater bar Hoovers, Electrolux and Rainbows get dirt and grit and very little carpet fluff.
Also mine were nylon pile rugs, not a natural wool.
It was very plain to see when we added lots of flagstone walks set in sand last year. You could clean till the cows came home with the new Hoover or Dyson and the Rainbow was clearly better at removing the fine grit and sand from the walks with very little carpet fuzz.
This has been an interesting thread and it seems it would depend on the types of carpet you have and how the machine was set would effect the results.
Do you want the quickest results or do you have a valuable carpet or rug that needs proper care.
I was told that the "fuzzing" I was seeing on the rug was the fibers being deformed over time by the heat build up of the plastic brush, roller and aggressive brush.
When you think of it, I have never seen modern carpets wear (become thread bare) as much as they just look matted and tired.
Thanks for all the input on this thread
