We have all the different carpet types here at the Vacuum Museum, from Frieze (shag), to plush, to berber. Also, wool area rugs sitting on hard wood floors. You can try out any of our vacuums to your hearts content, and I'll be happy to answer any questions.
The machine I would recommend is the Riccar Prima (Simplicity Wonder) with the full size power nozzle. Everyone who ever bought a Prima likes it, and the power nozzle can be adjusted for all carpets. It has a steel brush roller with replaceable brushes, the bags are inexpensive, and the cleaner itself is very quiet to use and light weight to pull.
I would be happy to show it to you at any time you want to visit the Factory Outlet Store.
