Although you can use it on carpets as well, but when considering the physical aspects of the vac, I gotta say, you'd better off using it on bare floors rather than thick carpets or rugs in general.
Here are the main hardware details ...
*. 2 in 1 type product actually. It can be converted into a hand-held vac as well.
*. Can be used on bare floors and low pile carpets/rugs.
*. 1.2 Amp motor. Don't hope for superior suctions, but not bad for its size.
*. 3 Stage filtration + cyclonic suctions.
*. 4.9 Meters long power cord - pretty short actually (but should be expected when considering the price).
*. No manual height settings available.
*. Bagless.
*. Weights very little - 2.2 kg!.

You can use it on carpets or rugs if you like, but it simply don't have the suction power to remove all of the dust and the pet hair nonetheless. Although on low pile carpets you may get slightly better results, still not the best for that job anyway. It has roller bars in the nozzle but you can use it on wood or hardwood type subtle materials without having to worry about scratches either. Although it is not as powerful as some of the more pricier vac... still on bare floors it pulls out impressive amounts of pet hair and dust, which is again a bit of a surprise when considering its size.
The dust-cup is easy to empty and even though it has a smaller capacity, won't get filled-up that often either. It is really easy to use (mainly due to the weight) and when combined with the upholstery tool + the size of the nozzle, it easily fits under almost all tight places such as under beds for instance. Since you can "create" a hand-held of out the main unit, it is pretty handy for cleaning on couch or other upper places which is an added advantage for the user as well.
As said, the wire cord is not that long, so sometimes you'll have to use an extension cord for that, anyway, for a very little price, if you have a lot of bare floors and okay with the moderate suctions that this vac brings, then the Bissell FeatherWeight 3106B is a bargain :). Good vac, but can only be recommended for light duty job.
