How does this machine clean shag carpets? Thanks in advance :)

I found it does well on all surfaces. It's height adjustable. The only issue I have had is there is not a lot of dirt holding capacity. Handy and light equals empty out often. But then most people don't have three German Shepherds as do we!

It is good only on bare floors. Possibly berber type carpets and thin throw rugs.

I personally don't have shag carpets, so take this for what its worth--I think it might be a little too rough. You have to push with a little force to pull up the pet hair, so I think that same force would dig it into your carpet fibers and pull up or loosen pieces of the shag. This is just my guess. I don't have shag carpeting, so I love this thing.

This machine will work great on your car carpets. You will need to bring the unit outside as the hose and attachment are not long enough to reach that far. The attachment has just as strong of a suction and cleaning power as the unit itself! It will really clean your car carpets, fluff them up, and make them smell very fresh. Go on...give it a whirl! :)

This model is a vacuum cleaner only. There are other attachments needed to shampoo carpets. Otherwise, this a fantastic vacuum!! I always loved Rainbows ever since I sold them in '85...wouldn't use anything else!! These are the ONLY way to get ALL the dirt out of your house!!

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.

It worked amazingly well on the carpet. My old vacum was so lame it apparently left a lot of stuff as I had to empty the debris numerous times. It works great on carpet. I dont much like the 2 stage turning on the carpet thing but it is a small issue. Overall I am very happy with this little vac and do recommend it.

After using this machine, I don';t feel it would work too well on shaggier carpets. It is a low sweeper. Our carpet is a medium nape and works well.

It picks up dog hair great! It maneuvers so well. I have a rug on top of medium shag carpet and it goes well from one to the other I also have tile and I just turn off the brush and vacuum the tile. I have a bad back and this vacuum is lightweight too!

The airbrush does work well on carpets. I used it on my carpets, then went over the area with my wind tunnel vacuum to see if it left anything behind on the carpets. They were clean and free of pet hair. I have 3 cats and it does a great job.

Personally, I wouldn't use a carpet cleaner on hardwood floors. Actually, I now wouldn't even recommend this model to anyone since mine is already broken and haven't used/abused this machine enough, but it's long out of warranty I suspect.

I have plush carpet & it works beautifully. I don't know how it would work on shag carpet.

It doesn't mop the floor. It is a sweeper that works really well! I have two - one upstairs and one downstairs. It picks up all kinds of messes and on the underside, there is a tray that traps the dirt. You can empty it by pushing a button on the top of the sweeper. Occasionally you need to turn the sweeper over and remove any dog hair/lint/threads caught in the brushes. I LOVE it and it is so helpful when you make a mess! :)

I have hardwood floors with area rugs. It works ok on the floors but the only con about the machine is no floor attachment to really hug the floor. I still wouldnt trade it for any other machine. It really picks up pet hair well. I use the plastic wand pieces to get along the edges of my floors.

I do not have thick carpets, so I really can't give you an answer. I do have shag carpets in one room and it works well with the spinning brush disconnected. It seems to have good suction without the brush spinning. We are very happy with how well it handles our carpets.

I have carpeted floors - and I don't ever need to manually vacuum the rooms that my Roomba goes through. I've watched it when it senses a little extra dirt and it goes over the area a couple of times. I do run my Roomba daily.

This should pop all those crumbs to the surface so your Dyson can pick them up...rack before vacuuming. I do not have shag nor do I have pets, I purchased the Groom to lift the carpet in heavy traffic areas and it works beautifully.

Suction is awesome but you have to clean the filter regularly. When the suction isn't very good that's when you will need to clean the filter. It works great on area rugs!
