Would this work on higher pile area rugs?

Yes, I have a thick rug and it works great. It picks up what is on top and about 1 inch under the pile. It is not a vacuum. Can get a lot of dog hair.

Never used it on a braided rug but can't see why it wouldn't work just as good on one as it does on carpet..

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

Sorry I don't have high pile carpet either but it is very good on my medium pile rugs.

I see no reason why it wouldn't be fine on an area rug. it's a dry powder that you work into the rug, then vacuum out. However, I had to say I was underwhelmed by its ability to clean an admittedly abused carpet. I tried it on the recommendation of a carpet installer, and it's probably fine for regular use, but it "failed" me on badly stained carpet.

I have not noticed this problem. However, I use only on oriental style rugs with low pile.

Absolutely. We have both low and medium pile carpets in our home and this vacuum does a great job with all of them. It's a powered floor tool and there's an adjustment on the canister which allows you to set it for the various pile heights. We have 3 dogs and 2 cats, and it only takes one pass of the vacuum to get all the hair off the carpets.

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.

Depends how heavy the carpet is per unit area. It works initially but loses the grip after a while. For heavy carpets that happens fast. I hope I can find better option.

I can't say for sure as I only have throw rugs. It does a very good job, but the pile is short. Although it is a powerful vacuum.

Not sure. I use it on regular carpet set at the 3rd setting and it does great. There are 2 settings after that, so chances are that it would work.

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.

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.

I have a area rug, it roll fine between the hard wood floors onto the rug and on the rug. I recommend it.

Hi - It'll depend on the size of the rug. I have an 8 x 10 area run and have no problems; however on smaller area rugs (like door or bath mats), it'll pull them up. On trick I've learned though....if I tilt the vacuum up a little when it reaches the edge of the door mat, it doesn't suck them up. I hope this helps you.

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

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
