Soft & Plush Carpet Vacuums Glossary of Terms

Soft & Plush Style Carpeting Challenges = Soft plush and ultra plush carpeting presents a unique problem when vacuuming. Because soft plush carpets are super dense, the vacuum suction locks onto the carpet, making it hard to move the vacuum. Heavier vacuums make this worse by sinking in further. Soft carpet vacuums can solve this by having larger wheels, lighter weight, better venting so suction does not lock on carpet, and manual height adjustment for thick pile carpet. The higher density of soft carpets like Mohawk SmartStrand Silk, contain up to three times more fibers than regular carpeting. Sebo Vacs with ET1 Cleaner Head = These work well with high/soft/plush carpet, but if you find that it does not, you can buy a replacement brushroll with softer bristles and replace the OEM brushroll for even better performance. Manufacturer Recommended Vacuums for Soft Plush Carpeting = All of the vacuums presented by Smart-Review on this page have been recommended by manufacturers of soft and ultra-soft carpeting. These vacuums can be used on soft, plush, high pile, medium and low pile carpets, as well as hard floors. They are not limited to being used only on soft carpeting. Popular brands of soft high pile carpeting include: Mohawk SmartStrand Silk, Anso® Caress (Shaw Industries), Karastan, Resista® (Shaw), Stainmaster Trusoft, Tigressa® SoftStyle (Shaw), Tigressa® H2O™, and Soft Spring. Larger Wheels = Vacuums with larger wheels are better able to maneuver over denser, thicker soft plush carpeting, and not get bogged down. Lightweight Vacuum = Heavier vacuums sink into soft, plush carpet, making the suction seal tighter, and making it hard to move the vacuum. Lightweight vacuums can glide over this type of carpeting. Almost all the recommended vacuums are lightweight for this reason. Miele SEB228 Powerbrush = In canister vacuums, Miele has several vacuums that use the SEB228 Motorized floor tool. This is a carpet manufacturer recommended tool for soft/plush carpets. Available on the Miele C3 Cat & Dog Canister Vac, the Miele C3 Soft Carpet Canister Vac, the Miele C2 Compact Electro+ Canister, and the Miele C3 Complete Kona Canister Vacuums. All Miele canisters allow you to adjust suction power (6 settings). Thick loop, Casual Frieze or Long Pile Carpet = To prevent damage to these types of carpeting, you may need to completely disengage the beater bar and use suction only. Bagged Vacuum = A bagged vacuum stores all the dirt and dust in a disposable bag. Many are self sealing, so that dust does not go everywhere when you remove the bag. Bagged vacuums usually have a larger capacity to store dirt and dust than Bagless Vacuums. Part of the filtration system is built-in to the bag. Self Sealing Bag = Some bagged vacuums have dust bags that seal shut when you remove them from the vacuum. This prevents dust from getting in the air when you are changing bags. All Miele vacuums have self sealing bags. Saniseal System = Automatically seals the bag shut, which will lock the dirt into the disposable filter bag, so no dust escapes when changing bags. Oreck’s Magnesium Frame = Some higher end Oreck Magnesium vacuums use magnesium metal for the frame of the vacuum which is lighter and stronger than many types of steel. The Oreck LW1500RS weighs only 7.7 lbs., and is one of the most recommended vacuums for soft/plush carpeting by leading carpet manufacturers such as Shaw and Mohawk. Annual Tuneups = On Orecks higher end vacuums, they offer free annual tuneups at Oreck stores. Two Speeds = Some vacuums have two speeds. The lower speed can be used on more delicate oriental and other area rugs, as well as hard floors. LED Headlights = Vacuums with LED headlights allow you to see dirt and dust and under furniture as you vacuum. HEPA Bag = A HEPA Bag is the best type of dirt filtration on a vacuum. This will remove the smallest particles of dirt, dust, and pet hair so that you don’t breathe in what you are vacuuming. This is especially important for those with allergies. Certified Gold CRI = The Soniclean SFC-7000 and the Oreck Magnesium LW1500RS upright vacuums has been certified as GOLD by The Carpet and Rug Institute and is ideal for soft carpeting. Soniclean Sonic Technology = Vibrates at 12,000 times/minute to loosen dirt and dust from your ultrasoft or plush carpet. Soniclean SFC-7000 = The Soniclean SFC-7000 was specifically designed to be used on soft style plush carpets, such as Mohawk SmartStrand Silk, Caress (Shaw Industries), Tigressa® SoftStyle, Karastan, Resista®, STAINMASTER® TruSoft®, and Soft Spring. This vacuum can also be used for regular carpeting and hard floors. The carpet manufacturer Mohawk recommends the Sonicare SFC-7000 for soft carpeting. Jam Protection = Turns off the vacuum if a Jam is detected.
