I have no idea since our home has no shag carpets but it works well on all other type of carpets just by adjusting the height of the brushes. Jim

We used it on thin, indoor/outdoor carpeting, and Berber, small pile. if you have thick carpeting, not sure how it will work

I use it mostly for my ceramic tile floors. However I have a low pile area rug in one bedroom and it works well as long as you use the "carpet setting" on the vaccum.

Yes, the main head cleaner does rotate, and I'm certain it would work well on braided rugs. I don't have those, so haven't tried. I also bought, through Oreck.com, another main head cleaner because I use the vacuum only on tile and hardwood floors. So, if you like other attachments, you can stop into any Oreck store or check online.

It's designed to work on non carpeted flooring. If the pile of the carpet is too thick it will not work well.

It will pull some of the material off the top of the rug, it really did not work well on my runners and they were on wood floors.

No...and that is the largest weakness of this vacuum. You will rely on the high suction and your movement of the carpet attachment on the carpet. If you would like to have a power brush, then look at brands that have a reasonable price add on option...careful...some brands charge an arm and a leg. (I think Oreck is good for this)

Yes, but it's not perfect when you go on and off a rug. I use it for both bare floor and rugs on Cape Cod where there is a lot of sand and dust. (I also have two dogs and a cat, and so far ir has held up well.

Yes, this works well on a lower pile carpet. I purchased this as a second vacuum, one up and one downstairs. It is light and easy to handle and does the job. It is however cheaply made, don't know how long it will last.

I use it on a cement floor and it works very well - does Oreck have a hotline of some kind - they may be the best ones to answer your question!

yes. it works like a carpet sweeper, in my opinion. go back and forth. we have hardwood and area rugs and are very happy with it.

Yes. It works very well on carpets and area rugs. You must go slow, however. I typically do an inch per second so it's a slow clean. It does a very good job of "refreshing" carpets. For example, I use it on a 3 by 5 area rug in our mud room. It sees lots of traffic, mud, salt, etc. The steamer is great on it.

It works on thick carpets very well. I personally have a shag rug as an area rug in the lr. On the lowest suction setting you can carefully glide the vac over the shag rug and it will clean it. You just need to be careful in general while vacumming a shag rug . This is a new experience for me as well.

It does work on carpet, but it works more slowly. The pile height may play a role in the speed of the brush rotation also.

Yes, it can, also rugs and floors, but I can't figure out how to adjust the level for really thick rugs.

I can't say for sure as I only have throw rugs. It does a very good job, but the pile is short. Although it is a powerful vacuum.
