The Best Robot Vacuum For Carpet

There's a robot that can be found for every carpet type, whether it's high-pile or low-pile. These smart appliances navigate your home automatically, pick up debris and clean under furniture.

Many of them have advanced features, such as mapping, which can help you navigate your home and Robot Vacuum For Carpet remember furniture positioning. They can also boost suction power to tackle dirtier areas.

iRobot Roomba 694

The iRobot Roomba 694 is an entry-level robot vacuum that works well on bare floors and low-pile carpet. It has good suction however, it struggles with larger debris like grains of rice or sand. It also does a good job of removing pet hair but it's not immune to tangling like high-end Roomba models such as the I6 or j7.

The Roomba 694 is simple to use. It has three buttons on the top cover. "Clean," which launches a cleaning session, 'Dock,' which places it in its charging station and "Spot," which initiates an individualized cleaning. You can control it using a smartphone application that allows you to schedule cycles, stop/start them and Robot Vacuum For Carpet adjust settings. You can also pair the device to smart home devices like Alexa or Google Assistant to control it through voice.

This vacuum is slower than the others, however it is still able to get into the most crevices and corners. It comes with a large dust bin that is ideal for reducing the frequency with which you need to empty it. It is compatible with digital maps and virtual barriers, which allow you to restrict it to certain areas or stop cleaning altogether in order to prevent it from getting stuck on something.

Although it's not the top model for its price however, it's superior to many other options. The Roborock E4 has a better cleaning performance than the Roomba 694, and it can clean both low-pile and bare carpets. It also has a more durable battery and a better path. It also feels more durable and has fewer parts that require regular maintenance, costs less to own over the course of its life, and charges faster than the 694.

It's also worth considering other models that are more expensive from the iRobot line, such as the 981 or the v7. The 981 and v7 are both more expensive but have significant improvements in cleaning performance, for both bare and low pile floors. They also have a bigger dirt compartment, charge faster, move more easily and are easier to pair up with smart home devices.

Shark RV1001AE IQ

This budget self-emptying robot does a good job on hard floors as well as carpets with low pile. Its combinator brush gets to the edges and corners, and automatically boosts suction once it senses carpet. It also does a great job of cleaning embedded dirt from carpet in the middle. The IQ has a small footprint and has a self-emptying feature. However, if you want to change floor levels on the map or set no-go zones, you'll need to manually reset it to do this, which is somewhat of an inconvenience.

The IQ app provides advanced mapping and automated features, but it does not have no-go zones. These are only available on iRobot robots. The smart-pathing system of the app allows for greater maneuverability, and the high-pile mode of its carpet cleaning mode is efficient but it could get caught in the tassels of the rug.

In our tests, we observed that the IQ handled pet hair well. It was able to eliminate the majority of hair on floors that were not bare and a good amount on medium-pile rug. It was less effective on shag carpets, as it had a hard time reaching dirt and dust embedded within the fibers. It was capable of navigating the legs of chairs, tight spaces, and the bottom of an wooden IKEA step stool. We did notice it was a little slower on bare floors, but it regained speed and performed better than other robots we tested.

The IQ is a better option over the iRobot Roomba 694 for most applications. It has a bigger dustbin and a longer battery lifespan and is better at navigating obstacles. It also comes with mopping attachments that can deal with sticky messes. The iRobot, however, feels better constructed, has fewer components that require replacement or maintenance, incurs less ongoing costs, and can even create virtual no-go zones using its companion app. It can even restart cleaning from the point it started if it runs out of battery before having completed the task. The iRobot is also controlled by voice commands, which is a big plus for many users.

Eufy 11S

The RoboVac 11S robotic vacuum isn't among the most features-rich models, but it offers excellent cleaning power for an affordable price. This vacuum was made for those who are budget conscious and don't require a complicated mapping system, or an app to control it. The robot can run for more than an hour and includes a remote, cleaning tool, AC power adapter, charging base, and additional filters.

The 11S is slim and sleek and has a tempered-glass upper deck that resembles polished aluminum. It's a nice departure from the utilitarian and industrial designs of Roomba, Samsung and Neato.

The eufy11S performed well in our tests at removing larger particles and fine dust from flooring. However, it was unable to give medium and high pile carpets an effective deep clean. The device is capable to bump into furniture and people along its course. However, it is able detect obstacles with sensors. When it encounters them, it ceases to move and emits a loud sound so you can manually guide it through the obstacle before getting back to work.

Another excellent feature of the eufy 11S is its BoostIQ mode that lets you set the robot to automatically adjust the strength of its suction to match floor type and level of the mess. It's also easy to use the remote to direct the 11S in the direction you want it to go.

Single Room Mode is a great alternative if you have a small amount of furniture in the area you'd like to vacuum. The eufy can spend 30 minutes focusing on cleaning the space it's assigned to.

Edge Cleaning is another option that can limit the time that is spent on each area to just 20 minutes. This will increase the battery's life. With this option the eufy can move in a spiral fashion taking care of edges and corners to ensure a clean.

Miele Complete C1

The Miele Complete C1 canister robot vacuum for carpet is a fantastic mid-range vacuum cleaner that is a winner on carpet. Its performance on bare floors is also exceptional. It is able to remove rice and other small particles effortlessly. The suction power doesn't decrease as the dirt bin gets full.

It has two cameras on the front which provide a live feed to your smartphone. It also comes with one of the most advanced obstacle avoidance systems. It has a large bin, a long running time and a quick, bump-free cleanup.

The Complete C1 is unlike most robots in that it is able to switch between a standard head and a turbo to suit different types of flooring. The turbo head is great for carpeting that is high-pile and low-pile, while the standard powerhead is great on floors that are unfinished and light rug. It also has an automated height adjustment system, which allows it to easily adapt to various types of flooring without any manual adjustments.

The motor can also be easily maneuvered and can reach hard-to-reach areas. It comes with five different surface adjustments and a brushroll-off switch to prevent hairs from getting tangled.

The Classic C1 also has a self-cleaning brush roll and an UtraClean mode that cycles back and forth over the same area three times to ensure the best cleaning possible, and a self-emptying dustbin that can be empty at the touch of a button. Its sound level is slightly higher than some other models however its powerful 1,200-watt motor as well as robust construction make it worth the extra cost.
