I'm looking more to raise the nap on my carpet . Does this product act as a rake ?

No Gary this is not good for that I use it on hard wood floors to pick up dog hair. it is too soft to do what you are looking for, hope this helps Laura

No. it has soft brissels however, it would work on a shag type rug. It is FANTASTIC on wood and tile.

no not at all. the rubber on this "broom" is so soft it just folds lol has no stiffness that would be required for raising the nap on a carpeting. sorry i thought the same thing when i bought it, i was really disappointed with it but it might work ok on wet surface cleaning like out on the deck

my use is to remove dog hair, especially on carpeted stairs where its hard to vacuum well. However, the rake does a good job of raising the nap of the carpet.

This rake leaves no marks on my carpet whichbis a medium pile. Does a very good job. You will get a little bit of a workout if you tackle a large area. I usually work about halfvthe room then vaccume which will give you a break from the rake.

I have found that it works on a really low pile carpet. It isn't as fast as it is on a tile/wood floor.

It works on carpet, but, does tend to clump a little. I wait a little longer to vacuum the carpet than I do with the hard surfaces. I have not tried it on furniture. I think it is a great product!!

it's designed for light duty, for small area of carpet, it works fine, but I would not recommend this for carpet.

I have the same problem, sometimes I vacuum with the nap instead of against it . If it's a small rug lay it on top of your carpet (if you have it)and then vacuum. I hope this helps. Becky

No, I tried it and it was awful. It gets very gooey and sticks to the rake and the bottom of the box. By the time I got new litter it had already screwed up the motor and now it makes a bunch of noise when it rakes and does some weird bouncing thing that it never did before.

Neither I would call it an electric rake. It works great for that, removing a layer of dead material at the soils surface. Great product. Touchy safety switch though.

If you have any size riding mower / lawn tractor this will work to dethatch as a tow behind. This is _not_ a leaf rake though, it's a grass rake (removes overgrowth).

Tiny pebbles and DRY leaves suck-up the best....but I wouldn't try to use this instead of a rake!!! A blower to blow those things away or into a heap to shovel or scoop up is what I do.

I have leather and hadnt tried on upholstery. So, I went to another room and tried it on a fabric chair. It picked up cat hair I didnt even know was there. I love this rake and would purchase again!

Likely the rake would tangle in shag carpet. Basically it's a large pet pin brush with a long handle. Works great on regular pile carpets, though - removes an astounding amount of Collie hair every time I use it.

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.

I purchased this last year it is heavy especially after adding the 3 point hitch and I have had to modify my mower that I use with it. It does a good job of raking but understand the small stones will still be around. I have used it as a rake for rocks and debris and also to rake dirt for leveling. To rake rocks it works okay just have to go over the area repeatedly and you may turn up more rocks. Will it rake 1-1/2" yes but it will leave some. If you are trying to make a seed bed you will still have work. I used mine since we turned up lots of rocks building a house and it works but requires lots of practice to use.

I think that would work - just use the "smooth" side of the rake (turn it upside down)

The rake is for fluffing the carpet and for pet hair but does not pick up particles. I use for after vacuuming.

I haven't used it to remove hair from the furniture - but it does a good job of removing dog hair from the sherpa dog bed - I would think the thicker the fabric nap, the better it would work. For clothing and flat fabric, the rolling sticky pads work well.
