Yes, should work on anything you can vacuum. We have even used it on upholstered furniture.

I've used it on my wool rugs with good results. I haven't used it yet On my shag rug as it's new, but plan to in the future.

I personally don't have shag carpets, so take this for what its worth--I think it might be a little too rough. You have to push with a little force to pull up the pet hair, so I think that same force would dig it into your carpet fibers and pull up or loosen pieces of the shag. This is just my guess. I don't have shag carpeting, so I love this thing.

Yes; more precisely, I use a padded mat under the Rugbuddy, then on top I have another carpet, over the feet of some tables/sofas rest (pressing on the Rugbuddy). So far so good, after 3 weeks of usage. The instructions specify to avoid large area objects lying on top of the rug - presumably to avoid heat build-up.

I have mine on carpet and it hasn't ruined the carpet. I think it will be safe.

When I owned this the company made an accessory that could be used for steaming clothing ...at an extra cost. I never used it on rugs. Don't know about that one.

yes if it's a low pile (indoor, outdoor type) carpet as I wouldn't advise it on a shag or any bushy type...I sit mine on top of an old kitchen countertop mat that's metal on the top and cardboard on the bottom...that works fine.

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

I haven't had to use it on wool carpet yet, but I would try it without concern. Of course, try it first in an inconspicuous place.

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.

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

Hi, my friend also has a Neato and although she doesn't have shag, she has dense carpeting in her basement. It does really well with that, no problem. She (Nelly) lol goes a little slower is all. But again this is not shag. If you call the toll free number they would be able to answer it. Also if you go on the site, Neato.com I think you may see an answer to your question. Good luck.

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.

Not sure if it would work for dog hair in a shag- I had that same issue & finally just got rid of the rug. I bought the broom to use in a hair salon & it works great for that. Someone had recommended a shop vac for the rug.

I used mine for an area rug so don't really know. I would definitely order another for my vacation home if they still carried this item.

Yes, but it's not perfect when you go on and off a rug. I use it for both bare floor and rugs on Cape Cod where there is a lot of sand and dust. (I also have two dogs and a cat, and so far ir has held up well.

I have 2 different carpets. One really thick and the other is thin. It did a great job, the prep work helped out. As for wool I don't think it would damage it .
