Is the Shark PowerLite BU1620 good for carpet?

It works best on hard floors and low-pile rugs. On deep carpet, expect to slow down and make extra passes.

How often do I have to empty the bin?

The bin holds 0.09 gallons, so plan on emptying it after most cleanups, sometimes more than once.

Yes. The BU1620 has a HEPA filter, which helps trap fine dust and allergens.

About 6 lb, light enough to carry one-handed up stairs.
