If my vacuum can remove even one spec of dirt that yours misses, then mine is better than yours - even if there's no proof that mine would have picked up as much dirt as yours...

Dyson thief should have checked consumer reports????

Interesting opinion piece.

The smart tyrant writes his own story to ensure that it is favorable. The lazy will repeat lines from the book without fact checking.

Carmine,

Gotta agree with you on this one. All my carpeted rooms are the same carpet, installed at the same time. I have 2 rooms that have a section of the carpet where the vacuum is difficult to push and bounces when pulled back across the spot.

The vacuum is also more difficult to push (say north and south) than east and west on most all of the carpet.

HARDSELL:

Note the part of your post I highlighted. Is this the case with a particlular vacuum or all you use on the rug? Is this the case with and without the vacuum running or just when in use?

The lighter vacs are worse. Kirby and Dyson not as bad as others.

I have only noticed it during use. However, I do not push the vac around for pleasure or exercise when not in use.

Why did I know you would say this! Touche. I was trying to get at the point made by Vacmanuk about wheel design and form. Though his experience was with sticking dyson wheels. Wheel design and form, as with your HOOVER lightweight platinum bagged versus say an ORECK, can affect push/pull vacuum weight in addition to the revolving brush rotating against the natural weave of the carpet. Comparing the push and pull vacuum weight over the rug area in question in the on AND off mode would tell the degree of the impacts.
