Will it really rip your carpet up like someone said on here when picking it up? It's not like I would rip it off like a bandaid or w/ a ton of stuff.

No, it did not rip up my carpet. I just keep all my shopping bags in it -- keeps them all nice and orderly.

Absolutely not! I move it all the time. It's awesome and won't damage anything

Yes, it would pick it up, but I wonder if the wet stuff would clog up the little brush roller and necessitate removing it and washing it. Better just get down on the floor with some paper towels. OTHER THAN THAT this little sweeper is wonderful for pet hair, dry crumbs and most other stuff. Both on hard floors and carpets. The best friend you will ever have as your kids grow up!!! Mine is 25 years old--the sweeper not the kid.

I have carpet, but this thing isn't really heavy enough to scratch it. The wheels are fine, the problem is that the cradle part doesn't stay up like it's supposed to, so it drags over the wheels, which may scratch the floors? Just be careful to try and keep the cradle part up and you'll be fine.

It will scratch any non-carpeted flooring. I have wood floors through out my house. It was only after I ordered, received, opened it & watched the instructional DVD that I learned it was not to be used on wood & other finished flooring because it will scratch it. My son promptly demonstrated that for me. Now I have a circular pattern of scratches from his "trick" he showed me. I would not have purchased this if I had known it would scuff the flooring. My kids did use it outside, too, & it made the bottom of it even more roughed up. If you have carpet & smaller kids I'd say yes, it might be worth the price. Definitely NEED carpet!!!

No - It's not like the mat you put under the chair by your computer...its WAY thinner. Ours keeps getting crumpled up when we move the chair around so its not my favorite purchase. However, for the price it does the job of protecting the carpet. I don't try my vacuum over it as I'm sure it would try suck up the edges - I just shake off crumbs and/or wipe it down with a cloth.

Works very well on my carpet. You use it like you would use a rake. My carpet has a thick pile and doesn't get dirty but the pile can get pressed down from walking on it. Using the rake means less vacuuming for me. It would work well to pick up pet hair but I have no pets.

I found this vacuum to be a little hard to handle, the hose keeps getting on my way, it heavy plus it's not very good using it on carpet, I ended up buying a tool for hardwood floors and that its it's in use, hope it helps!

We have a berber carpet and it is hard to push it along, but it works well. It has great suction which makes it harder to push and pull, plus side is you know it is working and sucking dirt up. We don't have an overheating problem. Not having a height adjustment is the biggest flaw.

Depends upon how much weight you have in there how sharp the items are and what your floor that you're dragging it across it. Not so sure anything woll drag up stairs without tearing but these are some of the most durable bags I've come across

I agree with the other commenter...This is would not be an ideal choice for rugs/carpet. It does a great job picking up small debris on tile and hardwood flooring as well as food crumbs, etc. on upholstered furniture when used as a hand vac.

I have mine in my garage so I honestly could not be sure about it sliding on the carpet. But having said that, I would be concerned about the fine black "dirt" that comes off the mat. I am still trying to figure out what that is, and surely would not want that on my carpet. The makers of this mat are probably not happy about my "dirt" comments but I would love it if they could tell how to make this go away.

I have never tired it on carpet, only on a very flat small rug, but I don't think it would work very well. There really is no suction as a vacuum cleaner, just brushes to 'sweep up' stuff, so I would say no.

My cats have ripped part of the carpeting from the post but nothing comes off. I have to cut the shredded part off periodically but there is no mess on the floor. Hope this helps.

Not very well at all. It's mostly a hard flooring sweeper. I really like mine for that purpose but when it gets to my large area rug it has a hard time and you can tell it's working extra hard and still not picking up all that much.

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 used mine on plush carpet for months and haven't damaged it. I moved it and it does leave some impressions that gradually come out with vacuuming.

As others have said, it is folded and looks like the innermost package was a kind of shrink wrap / heat compression wrap. That package is in another plastic bag, which in turn is in the box (which does arrive like it's bursting at the seams). Mine expanded pretty much as soon as I unwrapped it... and I'd suggest not doing that until you have it in the room where it will be used or allowed to air out for the 96 hour period. Once opened, it is much more difficult to move this thing around without it picking up carpet fibers and other dirt (the thing is a dirt magnet).
