Does it work well on berber carpet?

Yes it's great on my berber and my frieze style carpets, because the head level is adjustable. Sometimes for a quick cleaning on the berber, I'll even use just the hard-floor attachment.

The bottom has a grippy red half-sphere - haven't had a problem with it slipping on a low berber carpet.

I have short pile , I think the call it berber style carpet and will work on it but I prefer to use it on my bathroom tile.

If you went back and forth several times to suck up as much liquid as you can with the machine, I'd say an hour...this will also depend upon the depth and pile of your carpet. for Berbers, probably less, for deeper pile or shags, maybe more.

My family room has a berber carpet (that's getting pretty filthy) and the lightness of this model concerns me re: cleaning that type of rug. To get my handvac to suck up the dirty water I really lean on it to increase its ability to suction. I suspect that as far as berber carpet goes, its best to get a heavier (industrial) machine, as I don't think you can push down on an upright to get it to suction better. I'll check this at the Hoover retail store near me and post a reply later.

Can't say. I have berber carpeting and regular carpeting. Works well so far. Only complaint is there's only one hose attachment so it's limited for hard to reach areas. Also to get to the belt you have to unscrew the cover of the base.

I have used this machine on pile carpet and Berber. It doesn't extract well on Berber. It's great on the pile carpet, but I feel I need to put a brick on the tank to increase suction.

I haven't tried it on a carpet. Sorry can't help with that one. I think it is probably worth a try though!

I am sorry, we do not have pets in our house so I cannot speak to it. The problem we have with the machine is that the suction is so hard that it does not work well on our low-medium pile carpet. On a Berber carpet I think it would do very well. It is quite noisy compared to my Miele also. But I do like the weight of the machine. Hope this is somewhat helpful to you.

This is a VERY low tack masking tape. It will work on carpet, but peels up really easily. It would probably work on a berber better than a plusher type of carpet.

Well, we have a low pile carpeting, almost like berber, and it works well. I just had to open an adjustment on the turbobrush to allow the brush to rotate faster. If you have a higher pile, I would consider a model with the powerhead. As far as for the wood floors, I will never use a broom again. It's so smooth and you feel like no dust is being stirred.

helloIIdo not own berber carpet but I have to say that the Oreck vacuum is a wonderful little machine it works well on all different kinds of carpet as well as their floor.

This rake is for low nap shag carpets like frenzies. Would not recommend for Berber because it would make the loops fuzzy. It's just like a comb fluffing up carpets fibers.

Yes, I have combination shag and berber . . . . it does fantastic. I know the directions say that you shouldn't use anything but Rugdoctor shampoo products, but I use Tide with Bleach Alternative and I haven't had cleaner carpets.

Unsure if our carpet would be classed as a Berber carpet, but the cleaner does very well on it.

I use it on my oriental and on my berber where I don't really want a rolling carpet brush. It has great suction, but no motorized carpet brush. I'm still totally in love with this many months after my purchase.

pretty well, depending on the plushness of the carpet. we have short carpet and it works great.
