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.

My carpet is not Berber, but it has a very tight, almost pebbled, very short nap. You said the suction on this model is poor. How about if the user makes two cleaning sessions, then?

Commercial carpets and/or carpet with a tight weave like berber but I don't think it would do well with pile carpet or loose weave carpets. It does not have rotating rollers to lift soil so it will not do well with a surface that allows dirt/debris to settle.

I'm sorry, we haven't used it on carpet. Depends on whether it's a smooth or nubby carpet. If it's smooth I'm sure it would do a nice job.

It works well on any kind of carpet. It has different settings depending on the thickness.

I use it on my Berber carpet in hall, dining and living room and have not had any problems. The tines of the brush are not so rigid. They do seems to 'fluff' the carpet a bit but not damage it. I use the rake almost every day but am not rough with it.

Not sure. It rolls pretty easily on berber carpet. Shag rug is long stranded...may get caught in wheels.

I was amazed how much old fur and dirt was released from my berber carpet when I used the steam stetting. The vac is not very strong but the steam is amazing.

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.

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

Yes it works well on Berber carpet without damaging it . But it doesn't work well on high nap rugs, like shag and plush. It also has a switch that toggles between rugs or a tile surface We love the Shark Navigator that we have, best vacuum we ever purchased

Wish I could help here, but I don't know for sure. It works well on my Berber-style carpet. Good luck!

I have used it only on carpet. I does work extremely well on carpet, though.

the step 2 one works on carpet but, depending on pile, it might go pretty slow. Ours is berber carpet and the play area we've been to that has one too has office carpet so both a lot smoother than regular carpet.

I've only used it on a "regular" carpet and a Berber carpet. In addition to new stains its gotten out old stains in both. Hope that helps.

I have 3 short haired cats and I find it works fine in removing hair from carpets, just adjust the setting on the carpet attachment. If you have berber style rugs will be tougher, due to loop style of rug, but on regular rugs works fine. For the cat hair on furniture use the furniture attachment, which does not have a beater roll in the attachment, just a brush so it takes longer.

As I have no berber carpet in my home I can't really speak to that, but my feeling is that it would be fine for use on a tighter weave carpeting.
