Be Aware of Plush - Ultra Soft Carpeting: most vacuum cleaners will 'lock onto' the fibers and be impossible, or very difficult, to push. Height adjustment is essential on the vacuum cleaner to be used, and/or an adjustable suction relief valve. You could opt to buy a vacuum cleaner that is specially designed for Plush - Ultra Soft carpeting. Do some research.
Make sure you have it professionally steam cleaned, as your salesperson will most likely advise, or your carpet will develop odor from your not being able to vacuum it deeply, like regular carpeting. As the salesperson said, "You want the vacuum cleaner brush to just tickle the top of the fibers". So you are only able to vacuum the surface of it on your own.
I wish I had known that information before selecting this carpet.
As newly installed, I can say that it is beautiful and feels great. Our 2 room installation took 2 days. I am still finding staples.
