Will this vacuum clean shag, sculpted shag and plush carpet?

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.

Sorry, shag carpet is difficult to clean without a shag carpet "rake" attachment. The Hoover I reviewed does not have , or offer, a rake attachment.. It has the suction but not the correct tool.

I have no shag but I do have sculpted carpet and plush and it does very well on those. I hope this was of some help.

I only have low pile carpets so I don't know from experience vacuuming those carpet types, but I can tell you the suction is the strongest I have ever had in a vacuum. It's so strong that it forms an almost complete seal with the carpet and when you turn the head for a corner, you feel the suction break free then grab on again. It really is amazing.

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...

It works fine on shag carpet or large area rugs. Not so good on small throw rugs, regardless of pile. Too much suction.

Definitely not! Do not even consider this vacuum if you have more than a few area rugs. It does fine for hardwood floors, but fails on deep pile carpets.

I have plush carpet & it works beautifully. I don't know how it would work on shag carpet.

Absolutely. I have 2 dogs and 1 inside cat. Picks up their hair from title floor , throw rugs, and carpet. Wouldn't use it for deep down carpet vacuuming but gets the surface stuff just fine. Also just finished doing my furniture and it got the pet hair off of it also. This is exactly why I wanted it and have been very happy with its performance.

It won't vaccuum or replace a vacuum.You need to vac first, then steam mop. It sanitizes and polishes the floor to an amazing clean, but it does not suck up pet hair.

I don't know. We use it for quick, frequent vacuuming of our rugs, floors and staircase, and use another vacuum for deeper rug cleaning.

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.

We have hard floors with area carpets. The vacuum seems to be able to work on all the surfaces. The suction head is the main link in the process.

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.

I do not have thick carpets, so I really can't give you an answer. I do have shag carpets in one room and it works well with the spinning brush disconnected. It seems to have good suction without the brush spinning. We are very happy with how well it handles our carpets.

I am in an apartment with what I consider "lite" shag carpeting...I have two longhaired dachshunds and this amazing little vacuum has plenty of suction to do the job. As for thicker carpet...I just don't know. It is powerful for a battery operated vacuum, but you may not be satisfied unless you order a plug in model. I also bought a Bissell carpet cleaner to get any additional stains/dirt out of the carpet.

I do not know we have hard wood floors but I imagine it can clean all but shag

I have found that this does not work well on carpet or rugs. It works well on hardwood, tile and vinyl. So if the areas you are vacuuming are not carpeted, it will work well.

Yes - mine are berber / looped so it cleans it just fine. I would suspect it may pickup carpet fibers with regular carpets - but maybe a tad more than regular vacuums

Hello Joy, this vacuum will pick up dust and loose particles on the floor and carpet.
