does this work on shag carpets? Is it height adjustable?

Not adjustable. Just one setting and I would say pass. I have standard apartment carpet and it is mind blowing great.

It does...it's not height adjustable though. The suction part might help you as well.

Love this vac...it self adjusts to all flooring, from tile to wood to linoleum to carpet. Best investment I've made in years. No bag to empty, just dump the catch container and move on!

It is not height adjustable, but it works on shorter shag types, probably not on the older 1950's shags though. It sure is a great little vac.

I only have a few thin carpets but it's completely smooth on those. I'd venture it'd be good although thick shag may slow it down.

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.

it's designed for light duty, for small area of carpet, it works fine, but I would not recommend this for carpet.

It works well on any kind of carpet. It has different settings depending on the thickness.

The vacuum seems to self adjust to different carpet heights... it does not have a manual adjustment. I am very happy with the vacuum!

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

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

Yes it does work on carpeting, as long as it is not a deep pile. We have 2 of them and like them a lot.

Not sure if it would work for dog hair in a shag- I had that same issue & finally just got rid of the rug. I bought the broom to use in a hair salon & it works great for that. Someone had recommended a shop vac for the rug.

It works fine on shag carpet or large area rugs. Not so good on small throw rugs, regardless of pile. Too much suction.

The height stays stationary, but I do also use in on floors with no carpeting. I think the regular floor attachment works better because there are more bristles in touch with the floor. Hope that was what you were looking for as to an answer.

The height is not adjustable. I am 6'3" and I find it to be trifle low, both as a cane and as a chair. It is very lightweight. It works best on reasonably flat, hard surfaces. I have been using it outdoors recently, and the chair legs do sink into soft soil.

Ours is on carpet and works great! We even have the long shag type carpet. No worries, great unit!

Not very well. It will work so so on low pile carpets but won't go at all on thicker stuff.

I have no shag but I do have sculpted carpet and plush and it does very well on those. I hope this was of some help.
