does it work for high pile rugs
996471
I'd say our carpets are about 1/2 inch high. It has great suction and does a great job of getting them standing up again. The trouble is that it cannot handle pet hair and that is why I felt compelled to warn others about this since it is advertised as the pet vacuum. There are only 2 humans and one dog in our house so it is very light vacuuming. I am hearing that the entry from the brush bar area into the hose that connects to the waste area is way too small so the hair gets clogged right there and works its way into the brush bar area. Even if you take it all apart with a screwdriver, you can't get all the way in to clean it.

Its fair. Way better off with a Shark. Or at Dyson prices 2 or 3 of them...

Yes. I had to buy it for that carpet because my Dyson wouldn't work. It has adjustable heights so it works great. I really like it.

I imagine it would. It's pretty sticky. You'll need to make sure the underside of the rug is as free from dirt as possible though.

it will run on an area rug but i'm not sure if it would on a high pile carpet.

Yes, we have older shag carpet in our family room and it works great on it as well as low pile plush upstairs and tapestry type rugs on the kitchen floor with no adjusting needed in between!

It should but not if it is a big pile. Mine takes out dirt, dog hair and leaves.

We had hardwood so I don't know about high pile carpet but it moves really easily. And yea a baby can move around it easily. Both of my kids were like 6 months old when they started in it.

I don't know. We used it for carpet pads on hardwood stairs. I would worry that if you pulled up the throw rug it might pull up more fabric/carpet fibers from the rug.

I would not suggest that you use this rug rake on loophole carpets. It could quite possibly break and pull the loops.

I have two very small area rugs, and it picks up cat hair from them very well. It's a very low pile (I think that's the term), and I suspect that would be key. It also picks up hair from my upholstered chairs like a champ.

I don't have deep pile carpet, but I think it might. The tines are about 5/8" long and there's a lot of them, closer spaced than on a wire pet brush.At the very least it will make your rug look better and remove the hair that's visible. You might need to do a very thorough close-up job every 3 to 6 months.I used to spend 10 minutes a day scraping my cat's hair up with rough-soled shoes. Now it's a job of maybe a minute and a half.

Would work okay on short pile commercial carpet. Will not work well on longer pile carpet. You would need s rotating beater bar which isn't available as an option for this vac.

Yes it does work on carpeting, as long as it is not a deep pile. We have 2 of them and like them a lot.

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

It works on all types of floors; from my bathroom tiles to kitchen lino, my various types rugs (berber, plush and throw rugs here and there. A very high pile depth might not be cleaned to the bottom but I don't have that thick a carpet. Definitely yes to wood and hard floors. I love it (he is my Robbie.)

Yes, it works on area rugs. Now that I've had this for years, I want to point out that you have to go to a vacuum store to get the dust bags. They are a weird design, but still very effective. I love this cleaner.
