Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner For Carpets

A robot vacuum cleaner can assist you to keep your home tidy without a lot of effort. The best robot vacuums for carpets have an array of cleaning modes, and they can self-empty and dock their debris into the larger tower chamber after each run.

In our tests, models that use smart mapping technology to move in a satisfying grid-like pattern received top marks for cleaning carpets and hard floors. They can also create "no-go zones" which are a great option for pet owners.

1. Roborock S8+

The Roborock S8+ is one of the top carpet vacuums that we've ever tested. It is astonishing suction and cleaning capabilities and a well-designed app, and awe-inspiring navigation features. It comes with a smart-home experience that allows you to connect other devices like 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 returns to automatically and empties after every cleaning. This can keep the dust bin full for up to seven weeks, eliminating the necessity of manually emptying the dirt bin on the robot.

The S8+ is similar in appearance and feel to the older Roborock S7 MaxV, but it has the most advanced mopping system. The DuoRoller brush and VibraRise mopping system will provide superior dirt and hair tangle elimination. With the improved HyperForce vacuuming power of 6000Pa, even smallest dirt particles and debris can be eliminated without effort. With the Carpet Boost+ System, carpets will be free of food crumbs and pet hair.

The app also allows you to create a route, or set 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 a route, set up an automatic cleaning schedule and manage your robot via voice commands when you use it with Amazon Alexa.

The S8+ is a good choice for people who have medium to high-pile carpeting. Its low volume lets you use it while watching TV, working, or even while talking on the phone. It isn't recommended to use it for driving up or down stairs since it's ineffective at navigating the type of surface. Its object avoidance is also less effective than other Roborock models.

2. Eufy RoboVac 11S Max

For the price at which it's priced, the Eufy RoboVac 11S Max is a decent robot vacuum for carpets. It's fairly sturdy, the dirt compartment is of a good size, and the battery longevity is good. The only downside is the maintenance needed- there's a lot of components to clean and replace regularly. There's no app that tracks when it needs to be charged and emptied but the remote is able to request that it clean it immediately or at a predetermined time.

The suction of the vacuum is quiet, and it has a BoostIQ feature that automatically increases the power when it detects dirty floors. It's not as powerful as a professional floor cleaner but it is excellent at cleaning dust off of hard flooring and carpets with a medium pile. It can also be controlled manually to target particular areas or rooms.

It's not the best to remove pet hair or removing large particles, but it's better than some cheaper models that are focused on cleaning floors that are bare. It also does a decent job on carpets with a high pile. However, it struggles with trampled-in bits like cereal and does not come with a spot-cleaning mode.

While the eufy is a better model than the Bob Pro Bob Pro, it's not quite as effective as the iRobot Roomba i3. The iRobot is more durable, has a HEPA-filter, charges faster, and lasts longer with only one charge. It's also better at sweeping carpets and removing pet hair. The eufy doesn't have mopping features and may have issues returning to its initial state. It is a good option for small apartments or a house, particularly if smart features are not important to you.

3. Roborock Q5+

Roborock Q5+ is among the most popular designs in the manufacturer's lineup, it is a Red Dot Winner 2022 and an ideal choice for dealing with carpeted surfaces. It has 2700Pa suction power and makes use of PreciSense precision LiDAR mapping to pinpoint obstacles. The included app is a tool with lots of features that lets you design custom cleaning routes, change the power level, and schedule cleaning by room and time. You can also add a pin to the map to tell the robot to stay clear of specific areas. This is a great feature for shag carpet that could be wrapped around the robot's brush, stopping its progress.

This model is able to seamlessly switch between hard floors and carpets, unlike some robot vacuums that have a difficult time switching. It comes with a floating brush that is low on hard floors, but rises to agitate carpets. The surface detection system automatically increases the suction power once it detects carpet. This power boost lets it tackle larger debris like cereal grains, rice 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 out and remove debris from tight spaces.

The Q5+ comes with other useful features, like a child lock that protects it from curious kids and clumsy pets. It supports Amazon Alexa and Google Home for hands-free control. You can remotely start cleaning with just a single touch and the robot will return to its dock after the job is done. You can also set the robot to self-empty, which is a helpful feature if you don't want to deal with emptying the dustbin manually.

4. Shark ION Robot AV753 Series

Shark's dedication to dependability is evident in this robotic carpet cleaner vacuum cleaner, which comes with a Tri-Brush System that combines side brushes, channel brushes and a multi-surfacer for powerful cleaning on hard floors and carpets. The SharkClean app allows you to control the vacuum cleaner with voice commands, and it also comes with smart connectivity. This model is easy-to-schedule and has a long running time. It's perfect to clean the entire house. Its sophisticated sensors feature obstacles and cliff detection, helping to prevent falls and collisions.

This robot is a great value option for getting rid of pet hair and other debris from carpets. However, it's not able to remove small particles such as baking soda from carpets with a low pile and its basic navigation system does not have the advanced mapping capabilities found in more expensive Shark models.

Although the eufy RoboVac30C is superior to this Shark however, the latter is more durable and comes with a longer battery life. It also comes with a superior range of automation features that include various modes for cleaning tasks as well as the ability to select manually areas to clean. It's also cheaper than the Roomba 694 of iRobot, which is arguably the best carpet cleaner robot in 2024.

The iRobot has fewer parts that require regular cleaning, incurs lower recurring costs, charges much faster, and comes with superior capability to maneuver and surface-type adjustments. Its smart-pathing feature is more efficient, while its boundary makers allow you to identify an area of your home that you want the device to avoid. The iRobot comes with a bigger bin and an automatic surface detection feature that allows it to work better on various surfaces.

5. Wyze

Wyze is a less expensive robot vacuum cleaner, which comes with an array of automation features, LIDAR mapping, and an HEPA exhaust filter that seals in fine allergens. It also has a charging dock, though it does not have a self-emptying feature as some of its competitors do.

The LIDAR sensor does a great job of building maps, even in my chaotic office. The robot is now able to clean in a more systematic manner, rather than constantly bouncing off walls. It can also climb up high rugs. It is not intelligent enough to identify areas that require more cleaning levels which would be great. It's also not able switch between hard and carpet floors as some more expensive alternatives are able to.

Despite these issues, the Wyze is a fantastic choice on bare floors and carpets with a low pile. It's particularly good at picking up pet hair and other debris from hardwood floors. Its performance on carpets with high pile isn't as impressive, and you'll require an extra run or two to eliminate the bulky debris and medium-sized carpet, especially along the edges of rooms.

The Wyze is very easy to set up and use. Once you've connected it to Wi-Fi launch the app and then create an account for free. You'll have to select a name for the robot and whether you'd like voice control. When it's done it will ask if you want to calibrate its sensors and create a schedule for it follow. It's now time to use it. The only minor drawback is that it's a bit too light for the dock, and it's prone to getting stuck on Shop the Best Robot Vacuum Cleaners for Carpet - Robotvacuummops explained in a blog post, bottom of shelves and catching the charging contacts underneath which prevents it from charging.
