will it work well on my thick shag carpet?

I would think so. It goes from bare floor, indoor/outdoor carpet, to the thick church carpet keeping the great suction throughout. I don't have shag, but I think it would do fine.

Yes, we have older shag carpet in our family room and it works great on it as well as low pile plush upstairs and tapestry type rugs on the kitchen floor with no adjusting needed in between!

I don't have thick or shag carpet but my guess would be why not? It works well on other surfaces.

It works on thick carpets very well. I personally have a shag rug as an area rug in the lr. On the lowest suction setting you can carefully glide the vac over the shag rug and it will clean it. You just need to be careful in general while vacumming a shag rug . This is a new experience for me as well.

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 use mine on carpet, but the carpet is thin not plush and it works fine, hope that helps!

I have not used it on Shag carpets, just industrial type, and very low pile, but considering the size of the teeth, and how close they are, I can't imagine it would work on Shag carpet well at all... Essentially, it has the teeth of a metal pet brush. to get into shag carpet, you would need much thicker, and wider spaced teeth.

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

I've tried it and it didn't run smoothly. I think it depends on what kind of carpet though. If you have flat office carpet, maybe but it didn't work very well for our carpet.

It works on my thin area rug, a little slower than on the hardwood floors, which is no problem! I imagine a thicker plusher rug may slow it down too much?

I think it depends on the carpet. Normal carpet: no problem. I have carpet and it works fine. Shag or heavy carpet may be a problem.

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.

Depends on the kind of carpet I think I just put this on our semi-shag for a test, it is wobbly. But with heavy equipment it might work. Good luck

We used it on thin, indoor/outdoor carpeting, and Berber, small pile. if you have thick carpeting, not sure how it will work

I'd say it would work just fine as long as the carpet and pad aren't real thick. If so, then I'd suggest using something thicker and more rigid underneath.

Yes if its short carpet not a problem . Works good on wood floors the best,will go faster then carpet. Not high pile because I think the wheels will get caught.

It was specifically designed to work with really thick carpets. Ours is as thick as they can make it and it works terrific. There are two power settings so it can also be used on thin carpets, like a silk one we own, as well as hard floors. It is so light we can carry it up a narrow circular staircase without a problem.

I think it would do ok . I have a shag carpet in a bedroom also have a dog in there it did a good job on it. I use it mostly on hardwood it t has roller brushes. I hope this helps.

I would say it works best on a flat-woven carpet, not a shag-type. It's basically a rolling brush, so it picks up things sitting on top of the carpet. If your carpet is loose enough for hay to sink into it, it's not going to work.
