Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner For Carpets

A robot vacuum cleaner can help keep your home clean and tidy without any effort. The best robot vacuums have several cleaning modes, and they can be docked and empty their waste into a larger chamber after every run.

In our tests, models using smart mapping technology that move in a grid-like fashion received high marks for cleaning carpets and hard floors. They can also create "no-go zones" which are a great option for pet parents.

1. Roborock S8+

The Roborock S8+ was one of the most impressive robot vacuums that we have ever examined. It is astonishing suction and cleaning capabilities, a well designed app, and awe-inspiring navigation features. It also has a smart-home interface that allows you to connect other devices such as your smart speaker or Alexa. And unlike the cheaper Dreame L10s Ultra we've also looked at, the S8+ has a built-in docking station that it comes back to automatically and empties after every cleaning. This allows the dust bag to stay full for up to seven weeks without the need to empty the Kilgone Robot Vacuum Mop Combo - WiFi Alexa's dirt container manually.

The S8+ has a similar appearance and feel to the previous Roborock S7 MaxV but comes with an advanced mopping system. The DuoRoller brush and VibraRise mopping system offer better dirt and hair tangle removal. With the upgraded HyperForce vacuuming power of 6000Pa, even tiny dirt particles and debris can be removed without effort. With the Carpet Boost+ system, carpets are free of pet hair and bread crumbs.

The app allows you to create a route or establish an automatic cleaning schedule. You can also control your robot using voice commands if you're using it with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. You can also create routes, set up an automatic cleaning schedule, and control your robot with voice commands when using it with Amazon Alexa.

The S8+ is an excellent option for those with carpets with a moderate-to-high pile. The low noise level allows you to use it while you work, watching TV, or on the phone. Don't expect to use it to drive up or down the stairs, as it's not able to navigating that kind of surface. Its ability to avoid objects is slightly weaker than other Roborock models.

2. Eufy RoboVac 11S Max

For the cost, the Eufy RoboVac 11S Max is an excellent robot vacuum for carpets. It's well-built, has large dirt compartment, as well as a long battery life. The only drawback is the need for maintenanceThere are many parts to clean and replace frequently. There's no app that can keep the track of when it requires charging and emptying, although the remote can make it clear the area immediately or at a time.

The vacuum's standard power is a whisper. It also comes with an BoostIQ function that increases the power automatically when it detects flooring that is dirty. It's not as powerful as a professional floor cleaner however, it is great at removing dust from hard flooring and carpets with a medium pile. It can also be steered manually to concentrate on certain rooms or areas.

It's not the best to remove pet hair or removing large particles, but it is better than some cheaper models that are focused on cleaning floors with no carpet. It's good on high-pile rug. However, it can struggle with trampled-in pieces of cereal and does not come with a spot-cleaning mode.

While the eufy is a superior model than the Bob Pro Bob Pro, it's not as good as the iRobot Roomba i3. The iRobot is built better and has a HEPA filter, charges more quickly and lasts longer on one charge. It's also better at sweeping any type of surface and removes pet hair more effectively on carpets, and has lower costs for recurring use. The eufy doesn't have mopping capabilities and can occasionally be unable to return to its initial. It's a great option for a small apartment or house, especially in cases where smart features aren't important to you.

3. Roborock Q5+

Roborock Q5+ Roborock Q5+, a Red Dot Winner in 2022 is a well-loved design from the manufacturer. It is an excellent option for carpeted surfaces. It has 2700Pa of suction capacity and utilizes PreciSense Precision LiDAR to map out the obstacles. The app comes with a variety of features that allow users to design custom cleaning routes, alter the power level and schedule cleans according to time and space. You can also drop pins on the map to tell the robot to stay away from certain areas. This is a fantastic feature for carpets that shag which could wrap around the robot's brush, stopping its progress.

This model is able to effortlessly switch between carpets and hard floors, unlike some robot vacuums that are unable to time switching. It has a floating main brush that remains low on hard floors, but raises to agitate carpets. Also, its surface detection system automatically increases suction power to'max' when it detects carpet. This power boost allows it to tackle heavier debris such as rice, cereal grains and pet hair while preserving battery life. It also scored well in our Crevice Pickup Test, which is a sign of its ability to reach and extract debris from tight spaces.

The Q5+ comes with other useful features, like the child lock that shields it from curious kids and pets that are prone to slipping. It also supports Amazon Alexa and Google Home for hands-free control. With just one touch it is possible to start a remote clean. The robot will return to the dock when the task is completed. You can also set it up to self-empty if there is no need to want to empty the dustbin manually.

4. Shark ION Robot AV753 Series

Shark's dedication to reliability can be seen in this robot vacuum cleaner. It is equipped with a Tri-Brush System, which combines side brushes with channel brushes and a multi-surface roll to provide powerful cleaning of carpets and hard floors. It also comes with smart connectivity, allowing users to control it via the SharkClean app and with voice commands using Alexa and Google Assistant. This model is easy-to-schedule and has a long runtime. It's ideal to clean the entire house. Its sophisticated sensors feature obstacles and cliff detection, which helps to avoid collisions and falls.

This robot is a good budget option for getting rid of pet hair and debris from carpets. However, it isn't able to remove fine particles like baking soda from low-pile carpet cleaner machine to rent, and its rudimentary navigation system is not equipped with the sophisticated mapping capabilities found in more expensive Shark models.

The eufy RoboVac30C might be a better option, but this Shark is more durable and has a longer battery. It also has a better range of automation features, including multiple modes for specialized cleaning tasks and the ability to choose manually areas to clean. It's also less expensive than Roomba 694 of iRobot which is considered to be the top carpet cleaner robot in 2024.

The iRobot has fewer components that require regular cleaning, incurs lower cost of maintenance, charges substantially faster, and has superior ability to maneuver and surface-type adjustment capabilities. Its smart-pathing feature is more Efficient Smart Mapping Robot Vacuum - iRobot Roomba i4 EVO, while its boundary makers allow you to mark a specific area of your house you wish to stay clear of. The iRobot has a larger bin and an automatic surface detection feature which makes it easier to work on various surfaces.

5. Wyze

Wyze is a less expensive robot vacuum cleaner that offers an array of automation options, LIDAR mapping, and an HEPA exhaust filter that seals in fine allergens. It also comes with charging docks, however it doesn't have a self-emptying one like its competitors do.

The LIDAR sensor does a good job of constructing maps even in my messy office. This means that the robot is able to clean in a neat manner rather than just randomly bouncing off walls. It can also climb up high rugs. It's not smart enough to identify areas that require more cleaning, which would be nice. And it's not able to switch between hard and carpet floors like some of the more expensive alternatives are able to.

Despite these shortcomings, the Wyze is a fantastic choice on floors with no padding and low-pile carpets. It's particularly effective in removing pet hair and debris from hardwood flooring. It's performance on carpets with a high pile is less impressive. You may need to make several additional passes to get rid of all the larger debris particularly around the edges of the room.

The Wyze is easy to use and to set up. After connecting it to Wi-Fi, you can open the app and then create an account (it's free). You will need to select the name for the robot and decide if you'd like to control it with voice. The application will then ask you whether it would like to calibrate the sensors and then create an agenda. Then you're ready to start using it. The only drawback is that the dock is a little too heavy. It could get stuck on the bottom shelves, and then catch the charging contacts below, which prevents it from charging.
