I want a broom lift the nap in the carpet so it doesn't look so packed. Will this broom do that?

No. But it is fabulous for getting up pet hair. Doesn't work well on carpet.

From my experience , I would say probably not , since the bristles are soft and flexible , almost like silicone .

If rug is thin it'll get bunched up, vac has very good suction. I also use it to clean my car mats. This vac is borderline commercial use. I'm about to replace mine, it got too noisy. It was mostly our abusive cleaning lady's fault. Best vaccuum I've bought since the old Hoover/Electrolux beasts existed.

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

Doesn't do area rug well if you are trying to go through the middle. You need to keep part of the sweeper on the bare floor. Problem is the sweeper has so much power that it sucks the rug up. Great sweeper.

It will haul dirt too but it doesn't scoop it up well. I have to rake things up in a pile in order for my son to scoop it up.

No. This is pretty useless for picking up cat hair on carpet---disappointing.

I would say yes since it does pick up cat litter from an indoor carpet too. Hope this helps you out and I hope it does the trick. It is a very nice carpet sweeper for the money.

I used my old Rainbow wand(not the beater bar) with an attachment for cleaning hard floors. It did not fit snugly so I had used tape to keep the suction strong-worked well(but I am getting some kind of rubber gasket to make it easier). I am not sure of your purpose- to bring up the nap while using suction? This model is small but the power and suction is every bit as good as a Dyson(even a friend of mine with a Dyson said as much after using it), so maybe use the rake on the carpet first and then just vacuum as you usually would? It's a great little vacuum, just needs to be emptied sooner than larger models.

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.

May be! I have not tried it on carpet. You can turn off the brush, but the suction is too strong and is not adjustable.

It "brushes" the carpet, giving it a refreshed look, lifts dust and small stuff to the surface. However, I would not bother, if I had a good vacuum.

Yes. It should help to move small pieces from the depths of the carpet. The teeth are close together.

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.

Sort of. It will take the dust off if there are large clumps or bigger areas, but you will need something closer to a Swiffer. Also, the broom head does not come off (at least in my experience) so getting into narrow places is difficult.

I really think this should be called a carpet sweeper. I don't think its worth the effort using it on hard floors and just use it on my rugs. I use an old fashioned broom on the rest.

My opinion is that it should depending on the type of carpet. Carpet with tall nap (such as shag), probably not as the sweeper cleans surface unlike a vaccum that "sucks" up debris. My sweeper picks up cat hair, leaves, string and other items that appear on the carpet between vaccuming. I am very happy with the Bissell's performance, plus I don't have to worry about batteries or electricity. Just a quick once over with the sweeper between weekly vaccums and the carpets look great. By the way, it works on bare floors also. Hope this was helpful.

If you use it properly, yes. What I mean by that is that this vacuum really sucks, in a good way. So you need to use the little door in the handle to bleed off some suction when you vacuum your area rugs. If you don't do that it will actually pick up the rug and move it around.
