How does this work on both short and long shag carpeting?

i really dont know because all my carpets are low pile. I would think it would thought because the suction is really strong

Can't say about shag...haven't had had shag since the '60's. It has two settings - high and low and does great on full pile carpet and sucking up kitty litter off linoleum floors.

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

I don't have long carpet; however, it literrally jiggles the carpet as you are vacuuming, so my answer is that I really think it would work well.

The strong suction tries to eat the fringe on my orientals. Not sure what it would do on long shag. For the fringe and small area rugs I use the bare floor setting. Love the vacuum even tho it is a little loud and it doesn't fit under low furniture.

It works ok on our short pile (maybe 3/8") carpet. On a tight weave rug it should be fine. It works best on hard floors.

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.

I have found that this does not work well on carpet or rugs. It works well on hardwood, tile and vinyl. So if the areas you are vacuuming are not carpeted, it will work well.

Mine doesn't. It only has a regular setting, and a "power" setting, which I use on carpets. It doesn't work well on shag carpets. I have a bath mat with longer fibers and it just jams the rollers.

Im not sure I'm guessing that it would depend on what kind of carpet it is, Shag carpet I would guess not but I have carpeting that has a very short pile to it and it gets out dog can cat hair with no problem, I use the powered attachment that comes with it. Hope I helped

The vac has two speeds, low and high. The low speed makes it easier to use on shaggy or thick carpet. The small rugs like a floor mat or welcome mat would still kind of get sucked up even on low. I use it on them still and just hold the mat down with one foot and it is fine. But to directly answer your question, it will most likely still suck up a small mat or rug...

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

No it does not. I also wouln't recommend it if shag type carpet because the nozzle is self adjusting and for very thick carpet, you need to manually adjust it to a higher fixed setting. I always like the Sanitaire by Eureka for this. Good luck!

It does fine on short standard carpet, not sure how well it would do with the longer type.

a soft brush tool and a tool for getting into tight places. The two fit nicely on the docking station. I admit that the cleaner is best for low pile area rugs and hardwood floors and tile. It's for quick jobs and does an awesome job. I still get out the big boy to vacuum the carpets. It doesn't bother me at all that I have to hold the trigger..It wakes moving from one area to the next quieter .

Works great on laminate, hardwood, and vinyl. Definitely not made for carpet with any pile length at all.

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.

I wouldn't use it to clean your entire house. It is small and very convienent. I use it on the main floor of my house on the hardwood floors and rugs. It works just fine on my seagrass rugs, so I think it would work fine on shag carpet...but remember it is for quick pick ups...not intensive cleaning...not to say it won't clean well because it does...

I use straw in my feral cats bedding that somehow seems to always get tracked in the house especially if my shoes are damp on the bottoms.I can pick it up just fine with this little sweeper.But most likely it is because its on very low pile,kitchen type carpeting in my laundry room at the back door.I haven't tried it on more plush carpeting.But just looking at the sweeper I think it would work well on the shorter type rugs and carpeting.The more flat the carpeting the easier it would be to roll over and grasp whats laying there.

This vacuum doesn't have any settings for like short medium or high carpet. One setting does all. I have shaggy carpet at my apartment and it seems to go a great job. I don't hear loss suction or the brush being worked to hard because of the length of carpet.

I just did my shag carpet with it and I have long hair. I sucked a lot right up. But I did have to tip it over and cut off quite a bit. But it was lightweight and easy to do.
