Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner For Carpet

Many robot vacuums are great on bare floors, but certain models stand out for their ability to clean carpets and rug. If you have carpet, consider a model that offers strong suction and specialized carpet cleaning tech like the eufy X10 Pro.

A large dustbin as well as a battery with an extended runtime are crucial. Also, find out whether the robot vacuum will start cleaning where it left off after charging.

1. Roborock S8+

The Roborock S8+ is a vacuum and mopping machine with enhanced suction and a mopping device that is better at removing stains and grime from floors. Its dual rubber brushes enhance the vacuuming process and prevent hair tangles. Its new HyperForce suction power of 6000 Pa can suck up all manner of dirt and debris. It also comes with a brand new mopping system that makes use of the technology of sonic vibration to clean floors and lift dirt and grime.

The S8+ builds on the strengths of last year's S7 MaxV series. It sports a chic design, a 6.5-inch cleaning head and a solid build that doesn't feel cheap or flimsy. Its top cover opens to reveal the Wi-Fi indicator light as well as a reset button for the system.

Its mapping and recognition system is powerful that allows you to see 3D maps of your home and to set no-go zones. You can also schedule cleaning sessions and let it follow a pin you put on the map for cleaning the area. VibraRise is the new mopping system for the S8+, is a major improvement over its predecessor. It utilizes sonic vibration technology to scrub floors using constant pressure and increase the removal of dirt and grime.

The S8+ is a good robot vacuum for hard floors. It also does a decent job on carpets. However the performance isn't as impressive as our other robot vacuums. It is a sturdy and quiet motor that gives good performance without generating any obvious noise or rattles.

The S8+ comes with a built-in bin that automatically empty itself when it is full. This will help you keep your house cleaner for longer. It doesn't come with an additional washing station or water tank like the eufy X10 Pro Omni. You'll need to empty the robot's base and mop pads, wash it and refill its water reservoir frequently. It's not a huge issue, but can be a bit annoying. Fortunately, you can easily keep track of maintenance intervals for these components through the companion app for the S8+.

2. Wyze Robot Vacuum

The Wyze Robot Vacuum offers good value for money with its LiDAR floor mapping and app that allows you to define virtual boundaries and build cleaning programs. It also does an excellent job of cleaning pet hair from carpets, and it can also tackle obstacles like chair legs and electrical cords. However, it isn't able to pick up fine debris and isn't as effective on high pile carpets as some other models in this price range.

It does a great job of vacuuming bare floors and is able to do a decent job on carpets with low pile. It's small enough to be able to fit under furniture that isn't too high, and it can climb over tall rugs. However, it's not working as well on stairs, and it can get stuck on stair carpeting or on a tightly wound electrical cable.

Like the iRobot Roomba i4, this model doesn't have self-emptying docks, and can only vacuum dry materials, which means it won't mop. It does have a nozzle that can vacuum liquids and other wet materials.

This robot is easy to operate and has an intuitive interface. The main screen shows the floor map and real-time cleaning stats. The settings menu lets you alter your preferences for cleaning and vacuuming as well as monitor the battery, brushes and HEPA filter life. You can also alter the suction power, and choose between a 'Quiet Standard' or a 'Strong" setting based on the kind of surface.

The Wyze Robot Vacuum can be operated from the app or by pressing the 'Power' and "Home buttons on the robot's body. The robot can be sent back to dock by pressing the button once more. Holding down the power button for 3 seconds will turn off the robot.

The Wyze Robot Vacuum is more powerful and has a longer-lasting battery than the Tineco PWRHERO 11 which is priced similarly. It also is more effective on carpets. It comes with a bigger dirt container, less parts to clean frequently and lower ongoing costs. However the PWRHERO 11 is faster to charge, struggles less with bulky material and has a bigger dustbin and comes with more features, including an upholstery tool and remote control.

3. Shark ION Robot AV753 series

The Shark ION Robot is a excellent way to keep your house tidy. It's easy to use and set up and provides the convenience of using voice control. It's a good choice when you have pets because it handles hair from pets well. However, it does have some limitations, like its inability to eliminate small particles like baking soda and the absence of mapping capabilities.

The ION is equipped with a broad variety of automation features. They include smart home integrations, like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, that allow users to start cleaning by speaking. The Tri-Brush System is a combination of side brushes, channel brushes, and a multi-surface roll to handle various surfaces. It comes with a sophisticated cliff sensor that can detect the ledges, stairs, and prevents bumps against furniture or walls.

It's fairly well-made, and it does an acceptable job of removing large and small debris from floors that are bare as well as carpets with low and high pile. It requires a little more maintenance than the average robotic vacuum, but is still simple to maintain. It has a decent battery life, but it takes longer to recharge than a typical robot.

If you're seeking a more sophisticated robotic vacuum, we recommend the Shark EZ Robot Self-Empty which is comparable to the ION in a lot of ways, but has a few key differences. It has a bigger dust bin which lowers your cost of maintenance over time and also comes with an array of automation features, including a full-home, floor-to-carpet cleaning mode.

It comes with a more advanced set of features for automation and feels more durable than the ILIFE A4s. It has a stronger engine, which makes it more suitable for carpets with higher piles than the ILIFE. It also has an allergen-trapping HEPA filter, moves more efficiently, and has a longer time to last a battery than the Shark ION. It also has a more advanced set of cleaning modes that are automated. This allows you to continue the cleaning process that is in progress from where it ended. Its smart sensor technology is more advanced, too.

4. Eufy X8 Pro

The Eufy X8 Pro is one of the best automatic vacuum for carpet robot vacuum cleaners for carpet available. It comes with a 0.15 gallon dustbin that can hold a large amount of debris prior to needing to be empty. Its Boost Intelligent feature boosts suction automatically if it spots an area of carpet that is soiled. The X8 Pro can also be set to self-empty at regular intervals, or it can return to its base after every clean, and then detangle the brush bar (you can alter the frequency it returns to base for this).

Like most of the other robot vacuums we've reviewed This model also uses iPath laser navigation to map the layout of your house and split it into cleaning segments. The X8 Pro can easily navigate through corners and around furniture. However the iPath system isn't foolproof. For instance, it often leaves marks on carpet that don't disappear completely even after repeated runs across the same area. This is disadvantage, especially when you intend to use your robot for a mixture of floors that are unfinished and carpet.

The X8 Pro offers a comparable performance and is considerably less than the iRobot Roomba J7. However, the iRobot Roomba j7 feels better constructed, has a faster charge time, maneuvers more effectively and removes more debris from low-pile carpet. It also comes with a more advanced set of automation features as well as a more robust HEPA filter.

This is the most efficient robot vacuum for carpet that's inexpensive, yet it comes with a lot of features. It is easy to install and takes up very little space in the self-emptying station. You can also connect it to your 2.4GHz router to get internet access.

Mumsnet editor Poppy tried the X8 Pro in her 3-bedroom house with hardwood, tile and linoleum flooring, as well as four pets. She compared it with her previous robot that she had previously owned, the Eufy 11S, and used it for a two-week period on a mix of bare floors and carpet.

The X8 Pro has the ability to mop your floors as well, though you'll have to fill the water tank, attach the pad that comes with it and clean your floor before it can work. On paper, it's able to over a threshold of 19mm. In reality it isn't able to do so, and it's not able to cope with the extra weight of pads.
