i also like that the pads that come with it are thick and durable...and there are two of them.
from www.amazon.com

roomba works well on both medium thick carpet and hard floors, but it is faster on hardfloors and able to cover more area on one charge (about 800 sq.

it is slightly taller than the previous model so if you want to use your older virtually walls you must put something under them about a half inch thick and they will work fine.

when i have the roomba do the living room (which is a thicker carpet) the bruses fill up really fast.
from www.amazon.com

iRobot Roomba Red 4100 Bagless Robotic

Best Price: $225.00

from shopping.msn.com
finally, much like it's predecessor, the roomba doesn't do nearly as good a job on thick carpeting as it does on floor or thin carpeting.
from shopping.msn.com
our living room floor is wood, and without our cleaning it gathers a thick layer of dust dotted with food debries and small trash felt by bare feet but just too small to see clearly and too much
from shopping.msn.com
we have an area that is half carpet (quite thick) and half hardwood.
from www.amazon.com
currently its battery will discharge before it thinks it's done cleaning about 300 square ft of our medium thick carpet floor.
from www.amazon.com
also, my parents bought one and report that it has trouble with thick rugs and rugs with fringe.

from www.hsn.com
i have wood floors and a 7x9 thick wool rug in the living room (that sheds) and it goes up and over no problem, picks up surface dirt, crumbs, etc.
from www.amazon.com
my oreck upright is very light weight, but i still find it a chore to push it against the grain of a thick area rug i have i the living room.
from www.amazon.com
it cannot clean over tassels, it cannot magically hop over 1/2" thick area rugs, it cannot run over wires and ignore them.
from www.amazon.com
it will not work on thick carpet either.
from www.amazon.com
not so good for thick carpet and over rugs.

from reviews.sears.com
it is a bit hard to push on thick carpet but its cleaning ability makes it worth the effort.
from Mandy from Greenville,SC., www.circuitcity.com
they are about 1 pound heavier than others but thats because the 5770 is made of thick durable plastic.
from www.amazon.com
it's plastic, sure, but it feels like it's made from really thick stuff!
from www.amazon.com
the dumping of our hi-pile carpet fuzz & dog hair is a bit tricky like i read - i have to go to the garbage can and bang it on the inside in order for the stuff to come out since it's a bit thick,
from www.amazon.com
even through the thick berber.

it's not flimsy and the pads are thick and soft.
from www.amazon.com
the tile had what turned out to be a thick layer of hairspray and powder caked on to it.

my one complaint about this mop is that while it will get underneath cabinet edges, it will not fit under the edge of my fridge and in the corners like i would like it to because the head is too thick
from www.amazon.com
the easy to fill reservoir slides effortlessly into place, and the thick, absorbent mop heads are easy to attach.
from www.amazon.com
this heats up fast, is sturdy, puts out a good steam jet and has a nice this mop head that is easy to get on and off and is thick enough to get to the grout between the tiles.

Dyson DC07 Allergy Blue/Turquoise Bagless Upright

we have some particularly thick carpeting, and the dyson handles it as well as our standard carpet.

the floor tool is a worthwhile option to purchase separately, as the brush bar housing is pretty thick and bulky.

Dyson DC14 All floors Bagless Upright Cyclonic

Best Price: $260.00

from www.overstock.com
makes a crazy noise on rugs that are thick and not attached to the floor, but it says its normal in the book.

it has powerful suction and is a breeze to clean my thick carpet.
from www.amazon.com
we installed a thick new carpet and quickly discovered it was difficult to maneuver our fairly new hoover vacuum through it.
from www.amazon.com
the main reasons why i did not give it 5 stars is this: 1)you cannot use the machine itself on large area rugs that are very thick and have a backing on them - the machine can't get enough air flow
from www.amazon.com
we have lots of tile carpet and 1/2 thick foam flooring in the babies room.
