The Best Robot Vacuum For Carpet

There's a robot that can be found for all carpet types, regardless of whether it's low-pile or high-pile. These machines are intelligent and can automatically navigate your home, suck up debris and even clean under furniture.

Many have advanced features like mapping, which can help you navigate your home and remember furniture place. They can also boost the suction power in order to take on dirtier surfaces.

iRobot Roomba 694"

The Roomba from iRobot is a basic robot vacuum that performs well on both bare flooring and low-pile floor carpet. It has a decent suction and can clean most debris, however it isn't able to handle larger particles like sand or rice. It is capable of cleaning pet hair, but it isn't as strong against tangling as premium Roomba models like the I6 and j7.

The Roomba is simple to use. It has three buttons on its top cover. "Clean," which triggers a cleaning process, 'Dock,' which puts it in its charging station, and "Spot," which initiates an individualized cleaning. It can be controlled with an app on your smartphone that allows you to schedule and stop/start cycles, and also adjust settings. It is also possible to pair the device to smart home devices such as Alexa or Google Assistant to control it via voice.

This vacuum is a bit slower than others, but it is still able to get into the most crevices and corners. It has a large bin which makes it much easier to empty. It is compatible with digital mapping and virtual barriers which lets you set the robot to avoid certain areas or to stop cleaning altogether to avoid it from getting stuck.

It's not the most effective for its price, but it's superior to other models. The Roborock E4 is more advanced than the Roomba 694 with superior cleaning performance for carpets with low and no pile. It also has a longer-lasting battery and a better path. It also feels better-made, has fewer parts that need regular maintenance, is less expensive to maintain over its life and charges faster than the 694.

It's also worth considering other, more premium models within the iRobot line, such as the 981 or the v7. They're more expensive, however they offer significant improvements over the 694 in terms of cleaning efficiency on both low- and bare floors, follow an efficient cleaning path and come with a larger dirt compartment, are quicker to charge, maneuver themselves more easily, and are more easy to pair with smart home devices.

Shark RV1001AE IQ

This self-emptying robotic vacuum cleaner does a great job on low-pile carpet and hard flooring. The combo brush can reach into corners and edges, and it automatically increases suction when it spots carpet. It also excels at cleaning dirt that is embedded in carpets that are mid-pile. The IQ's tiny dock footprint and self-emptying feature are both nice features. If you wish to alter the floor's levels or define areas that are not allowed to be used, you'll need to manually reset the map.

The IQ app provides advanced mapping and automated features, but it lacks no-go zones. They are only available on iRobot robots. The smart-pathing navigation system provides greater maneuverability and its high-pile carpet mode is clean well, but it tends to get caught up in rug tassels, and its iHome speaker lets you operate the robot by voice commands.

In our tests, we found that the IQ was able to handle pet hair effectively. It was able to remove a large amount of debris on floors that were unfinished and a good amount of rug with a medium pile. It was less efficient with shag carpets. It struggled to get at dirt and dust embedded within the fibers. It did a decent job of maneuvering chair legs and tight spaces as well as the bottom of an wooden IKEA step stool. It was a little slower on floors that were not paved however it soon recovered speed and performed more thoroughly than the other robots we tested.

The IQ is a better option for most users than the iRobot Roomba. It has a larger dustbin and a longer battery life and is better in navigating around obstacles. It has mopping tools that can remove sticky mess. On the other side, the iRobot is more durable, has fewer parts that require maintenance or replacement, incurs lower recurring costs and creates virtual no-go zones using its companion app. It can continue cleaning from the point it started, even if its battery runs out before it finishes. The iRobot can also be controlled via voice, which is a huge plus for many users.

Eufy 11S

The RoboVac 11S by eufy isn't exactly the most feature-rich robot vacuum on the market, but it does offer great cleaning power for the price of. The RoboVac 11S is made for those who are budget conscious and don't require a complicated mapping system, or an app, to control it. This robot can run for up to an hour and comes with an remote, cleaning tool, AC power adapter, charging base and extra filters.

The 11S is slim and sleek and has a tempered-glass upper deck that appears like brushed aluminum. It's a nice aesthetic departure from Roomba, Samsung, and Neato designs that are more practical and industrial.

The eufy11S performed well in our tests of removing larger particles and fine dust from hard floors. It struggled to deep clean high-pile and medium-pile carpets. The device is also prone to bump into furniture and people that are in its path however, it is able to detect these obstacles using sensors. When it encounters them, it halts and emits a loud sound so you can manually guide it around the obstacle and then get it back to work.

Another great feature of the eufy 11S is its BoostIQ mode that lets you set the robot to automatically adjust its suction strength to match the floor type and the level of mess. The remote control makes it easy to direct the 11S to your desired place.

Single Room Mode is a great option for those with small furniture in the area you'd like to vacuum. The eufy can spend up to 30 minutes cleaning the area it is assigned.

You can also choose Edge Cleaning which restricts the amount of time spent in each area to 20 minutes for optimal battery life. This feature allows the eufy to move in a spiraling fashion cleaning edges and corners.

Miele Complete C1

The Miele Complete C1 canister robot is a fantastic mid-range vacuum cleaner that performs well on carpet. Its performance on carpets with no floor is also outstanding. It is able to remove small particles like rice easily and it doesn't suffer from suction efficiency even as its dirt bin gets full.

Unlike most other robots, unlike most other robots, Complete C1 can switch between two powerheads, a standard one and a turbo head to suit different flooring types. The turbo head is ideal for carpeting with high-pile or low-pile and the standard powerhead is great on bare floors and lightweight carpets. It also features an automatic height adjustment system that enables it to adapt to different types of flooring without manual adjustments.

This model is included with the SBD 285-3 Classic Combination Floorhead, which can be used on carpets with a hard surface and carpets with a medium pile.

It comes with five levels of surface adjustment and a switch that lets you turn off the brushroll to prevent hairs from getting tangled.

The Classic C1 has a self cleaning brush roll, it has a UtraClean Mode that cleans the same area three times, and a self-emptying dustbin that can be emptied by pressing a single button.
