I have a high pile - almost a short shag area rug. Will this machine clean it without damaging the pile?

Hi Tyler, if you able to use a normal vacuum with a spinning brush on your carpets this should be ok to use! You may want to pretest it first.

It depends on the quality of the rug/carpet. I use mine on a low pile DuPont carpet with no problems. There is some natural fiber shedding, but no damage.

This is the best vacuum I have ever had. I have shag, low pile, area rugs and tile flooring in my home and this cleaner does it all with no problem.

I have two very small area rugs, and it picks up cat hair from them very well. It's a very low pile (I think that's the term), and I suspect that would be key. It also picks up hair from my upholstered chairs like a champ.

I don't have any pets; The swivel sweeper picks up lint and dust from my cheap carpet. If the cat hair is short, I suppose this machine wouldn't have any problems picking them up.

It has done fine on ours, but we have berber type "low" carpets. It also is ok in the grass outside-lol! Not sure about a "higher" pile carpet b/c we don't have any. Good luck!

Vacuums with no height adjustment do not function well with high pile carpets/rugs, the roll bar hangs up in the pile. I found out the hard way and fortunately purchased mine from a supplier that allowed returns. Users with multi height carpets/rugs will also find pushing and movement much easier with a height adjustment feature vacuum.

I have used this machine on pile carpet and Berber. It doesn't extract well on Berber. It's great on the pile carpet, but I feel I need to put a brick on the tank to increase suction.

Works best on hard surfaces. It will work ok on a short pile carpet....thick or shag...not so much

I have used mine on our short carpet floors, but it does not work very well on carpet.

Not too well, specially if your shag carpet is quite thick. The Roomba will eventually avoid it. We have one in our bedroom and when the Roomba gets to it ends up being unable to climb on to it and treats it like a 'wall' and avoids it.However we do have a shag carpet in the living room that is not that high pile, and the Roomba is able to work on it with no problems or snags.I guess it all depends on the height of your shag carpet/rug.

This rake leaves no marks on my carpet whichbis a medium pile. Does a very good job. You will get a little bit of a workout if you tackle a large area. I usually work about halfvthe room then vaccume which will give you a break from the rake.

I have not used the attachment on shage or long pile. It is not easy to use on short carpet with the brush extended on the sweeper tool. I use mine on small jobs, like cob webs, small dry spills and duct work. It has awesome suction. I have three collies in the house and used it to clean up dog hair, but bag filled up very fast. It is a work horse and I would buy again. It is light enough for me to carry to each room. I use my sweeper for the carpet. Hope this helps.

I only have short pile but it does a great job on them. I suspect it will work well on all surfaces.

No. Don't buy this machine. It does not pick up strings, lint and hair from a carpet. Not worth the money. It will not work with a shag carpet.

I have a high pile shag area rug in the playroom. It does roll over it but it's a little harder to maneuver. I'm sure it would work fine on a short pile rug or carpet.

Sorry I don't have high pile carpet either but it is very good on my medium pile rugs.

Hi. It does do very well with rugs, etc. Really a powerful little machine. I think its's great and the extra length cord is a definite plus.
