shag rugs? will this Dyson vacuum a shag carpet that is pretty deep?

I just purchased the Dyson 18, as my Oreck was not getting the job done on my shag carpet. For me it is easier to vacuum with the Dyson and it is amazing how much it picks up. So far I am very happy with it!

the manual says it is self adjusting it will clean it but it is very difficult to push the vacuum while on it

This should pop all those crumbs to the surface so your Dyson can pick them up...rack before vacuuming. I do not have shag nor do I have pets, I purchased the Groom to lift the carpet in heavy traffic areas and it works beautifully.

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.

I have not tried the Dyson. I have hardwoods, pets, and large area rugs, I love the carpet attachment, and the brush crevice tool is nice for floor moldings. The filter is washable, which is nice, and the first thing to check if the suction is lacking. I do think it could have a tiny bit more suction, but I might feel that way regardless :D. On bare floors I definitely prefer the bare floor attachment, and I like the design of it. it does okay on pet hair, I think it clogs the filter a little quicker. I have a lightweight cordless I use for stairs....

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

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.

I don't have shag, but this is NOT the vacuum for you. The beater bar is so heavy on the plastic bar, it will break. Look for a better vacuum and their customer service is worse than Cable-vision. I know, who could be worse.....Samsung.

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)

Once you start vacuuming it glides pretty well. Would not recommend for use on a shag type rug. Works best on low pile or flat pile rug.

No. You do not need a Dyson vacuum for this. Any good vacuum will do. I recommend taking a brush and gently spreading the product into your carpet first. We have a scrub brush attached to a handle for this.

No, it does not. It is not designed for deep carpet cleaning, but does okay on surfaces.

Hi Samantha, Unfortunately no is only deep cleaner and is not designed for just vacuuming. Sorry!

I find dyson to be exceptional on low profile rug / hardwood floor. When it comes to house carpet.. I think you are better off using vacuum with motorized brushes instead of vacuum/air driven brush.

I have hardwood, sculptured carpet, and deep plush but not shag carpet. I do have some area or runner rugs on top of both my carpets and hardwood and it seems to negotiate the transitions quite well. It will actually back up and hit it from an angle or a running start if it can't mount the transition head on after giving it a few tries. It will, however, push around any rug on hardwood that don't have a slideproof backing or one of those rubberized mats under it.

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.

The vac has two speeds, low and high. The low speed makes it easier to use on shaggy or thick carpet. The small rugs like a floor mat or welcome mat would still kind of get sucked up even on low. I use it on them still and just hold the mat down with one foot and it is fine. But to directly answer your question, it will most likely still suck up a small mat or rug...

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.
