Dyson vacuum cleaners claim to fix the problem most traditional vacuums suffer from which is that they lose suction power over their life spans.
We would advise you to contact your carpet manufacturer if the carpet is still under a warranty before using the machine.

Dyson dc17 animal became extremely hard to push on carpet.
Some dyson vacuums have a motorized brushroll or are compatible with one and you can pick one up and the motorized brushroll will provide a bit of a boost in locomotion as you vacuum.
The powerful suction combined with the fibers of the carpet mean that you ll have to exert a considerable amount of force to get the brushroll to manually turn.
It required more than five years and 5 000 different prototypes but the result is that a dyson vacuum does not lose suction power and even better is easy to operate.

If you see that the brush is not turning that means you will need to replace the brush belt.
