I searched and searched for white shag rugs.   99% said you could not use a vacuum with a beater brush.   My Oreck vacuum does have a beater brush, so I was beginning to think I would not be able to purchase white shag rug.  Then I came across this one - wow!!! I purchased both the 2'x3' and the 3'x5'.  The 2'x3' is beside my bed and then the 3'x5' is in front of the master bathroom seen in the picture.  They are byond soft, I can't even describe them, but I love them 110%.  Would order more if I had the perfect areas to put them.
