Today we’ll show you some of the best vacuums for frieze (shag) carpeting, as well as go over the most important features to look at when making your final decision. One of the best things that we like about this vacuum is how easy it is to control. You get fingertip buttons that can adjust things like the speed and suction, making it much more convenient than most other uprights. Also, weighing in at only fifteen pounds makes this unit much easier to tote up and down stairs.
