Is this machine powerful enough to use for carpet cleaning?

I do not think that works for rugs, works on wood or cement floors, carpet not think

No...and that is the largest weakness of this vacuum. You will rely on the high suction and your movement of the carpet attachment on the carpet. If you would like to have a power brush, then look at brands that have a reasonable price add on option...careful...some brands charge an arm and a leg. (I think Oreck is good for this)

It "brushes" the carpet, giving it a refreshed look, lifts dust and small stuff to the surface. However, I would not bother, if I had a good vacuum.

It does better on a smooth floor but will work on carpet. it has a powerful engine

Not really. It can break up set in stains. Great for grout, grills, floors. It does not suck up dirt, it breaks it down. I purchased a Hoover steam vac from amazon, perfect for carpets. I had a bissell. The Hoover out cleans the bissell by a mile. At about 159.00 it is a steal.

I have used this machine on pile carpet and Berber. It doesn't extract well on Berber. It's great on the pile carpet, but I feel I need to put a brick on the tank to increase suction.

First of all, I want to make sure you realize this isn't a vacuum sweeper? That aside, it really seems light to me for a carpet shampoo-er. I think it would work out fine for you.

This machine will work great on your car carpets. You will need to bring the unit outside as the hose and attachment are not long enough to reach that far. The attachment has just as strong of a suction and cleaning power as the unit itself! It will really clean your car carpets, fluff them up, and make them smell very fresh. Go on...give it a whirl! :)

I only have two bedrooms with carpet but it works well. The turbine brush seems to be pretty strong and capable on carpet. I have had far more expensive vacuum cleaners function less effectively on carpet than this unit. I am happy with it especially that I can easily go from my hardwood floors, to my tile floors, to my carpet floors.

The machine is awesome and so light. Yes it is designed for floors and another setting for carpet. I have all wood floors on our main floor. It gets a work out and you don't have to touch anything dirty!

Yes, it works great on carpet ! Cant believe all the hair and lint it picks up...great suction.

This might not be the cleaner for you, the machine only has one row of brushes and only works going backwards. I would recommend the bissel big green, or if you have the money I would recommend commercial carpet cleaners from Hoover, EDIC Galaxy, or sanitaire.

I cannot speak for other brands, but I like my Bissell Featherweight Vacuum. It is indeed for light jobs though, I use it to clean my area rugs and hard wood floors. My family however agrees with the reviewer that call it a electric dust rag. I guess it depends on what type of job you are going to use it for. However, I would not recommend it for thick, plush carpet. I hope this helps:)

Sorry, no idea. I use it to clean up pet messes on carpeting. it works well on those.

No, it is not designed at all for carpet cleaning, only for hard surfaces. There is a device that attaches to the bottom which enables the user to "freshen up" a carpet but all it does is inject some steam. It does not remove stains.

I would definitely think so. I love this vacuum. It sure works well on our carpet and ceramic floors. I have had very expensive vacuums that didn't do nearly as good of a job, it is well worth the money.

You can clean carpets with it yes, but I personally haven't done that yet. It works wonderfully on my kitchen floor I can tell you that. I also cleaned 2 old and extremely dirty recliners with it however. It did an amazing job on them. They look nearly brand new now.
