Would this vacuum work on shaggier home carpets? I'm worried about how it would perform.

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.

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 think it would do ok . I have a shag carpet in a bedroom also have a dog in there it did a good job on it. I use it mostly on hardwood it t has roller brushes. I hope this helps.

Does real well on low pile carpet. Higher pile carpet drags the battery down quicker.

My guess is that it would not, the mouth needs to be near what it picks up, the shag would probably prevent that. It really is for bare floors and low nap carpets (we have a braided rug and manufactured "oriental" rug with tufts abut 1/4 inch long)

Probably not. It works great on hardwood, and my lower berber-type carpet. It doesn't have the juice to pick up larger items, so I wouldn't think it would have the juice to get stuff in tall shag. Mine fills up with crumbs and dog hair....for that and it's ease-of-use it is perfect.

No problem at all. I have a large rug that is almost like shag carpet. It vacuums it and does it well. I have two large furry dogs and a cat, this thing is a life saver. I used to vacuum every couple days, now I can wait a week.

Yes it will. It works great on most surfaces. If you only use it on the carpet, be sure to keep the treads clean, and not bound up with fibers from the carpet (which may not even be an issue if your carpets aren't shag.

pretty well, depending on the plushness of the carpet. we have short carpet and it works great.

It works amazingly well on carpeting. However, the wand does not role very easily across the carpet. Indeed, the best technique is to draw the wand towards you as you vacuum. Also, it does have a tendency to suck area rugs up!

Absolutely! We've had Kirby, Orec, Hoover, Electrollux & other vacumes. I bought this one because most of our flooring is tile or wood, for which it does a superb job, but I was astounded at how well the powered worked on the carpet. The unit is light, versatile, powerful and gets under nearly everything except our sleeper sofa and Chinese hutch. It is by far the best vacume we've ever owned.

I bought it for my daughter and I know for a fact she didn't use it on any deep shag. There was no problemin her apartment or anywhere else to my knowledge. I wouldn't think that there would be any trouble with any carpet. However I have not used it myself. Hope that helped.

It's a very stable and extremely smooth machine. If the carpet is level with no lumps it should do well.

I have not used the attachment on shage or long pile. It is not easy to use on short carpet with the brush extended on the sweeper tool. I use mine on small jobs, like cob webs, small dry spills and duct work. It has awesome suction. I have three collies in the house and used it to clean up dog hair, but bag filled up very fast. It is a work horse and I would buy again. It is light enough for me to carry to each room. I use my sweeper for the carpet. Hope this helps.

It rolls on wall-to-wall carpet in my house. It might depend on the rug. I think it might choke on a 2" shag carpet, but as long as the pile isn't ridiculously thick it should work.

I have a low pile carpet and it does a great job. I also have a Great Dane and it works great on pet hair. I don't think the brush head is strong enough to work on plush carpet but why not try it? You can always return the unit.

I would not think you would need the dog model since your animal does't shed much. You may have to empy the container more often but that is no big deal. As far as shag goes carpet goes, I can not answer as to how it will work. It does a great job with our medium and short pile carpet and tile floors. Very good vac, I would buy another.

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

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.

I have read that some people use it to vacuum their rug or entire house. In that case it probably would. I only use it for pet hair on my furniture and have no problem. The filter around the motor gets clogged and would cause it to overheat and shut off. That's just basic for small motors.

It will work great just keep the vacuum on the highest setting. If you don't think it's getting all the dirt go to the medium setting. I would not try to go on a low setting. Remember that new carpets shed so don't be alarmed if you see some in the container. Hope that helps and congrats on the new carpet!

I concur with the other responses. The volume and fine nature of dust would clog a typical household vacuum in a very, very short amount of time. The extra stress on the motor might ruin the vacuum. I am curious how it might work with one of those Dyson models though. Could they actually spin out the dust? My guess is "No".
