Dyson cylinder vacuum hard to push on carpet.
The suction was too strong that the vacuum became difficult to move.
The vacuum would actually suck in the carpet and get stuck to the floor.
If you see that the brush is not turning that means you will need to replace the brush belt.
But after moving to a new location with thick carpeting it suddenly became difficult to move.
I called dyson technical support and they suggested i remove the rope seal on the inside of the vacuum head.

How to modify dyson animal vacuum so that it is easy to push.
The dyson is a phenomenal vacuum on most accounts but the suction can be so powerful sometimes that it becomes hard to push.
A vacuum that is too low for the carpet can not only be impossible to push through the fibers it can also be damaging to the carpet.
If the vacuum is still hard to push tilt it back far enough that you can inspect the moving brush while the vacuum is running.
The suction on a vacuum is meant to lift dirt particles out of the fibers but if it is placed too close to the carpet backing it can actually lift the carpet slightly off the padding underneath.
No loss of suction.
