Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner For Carpet

Some robot vacuums are better at cleaning floors than others, but certain models excel at carpeting and rugs. You should consider a model with strong suction, and specialized carpet-cleaning technology like the eufy X10 Pro if you have carpet.

A large dustbin and a battery that has long runtime are essential. Find out if your robot vacuum can continue cleaning the areas it left after charging.

1. Roborock S8+

The Roborock S8+ is a vacuum and mopping robot that has improved suction and a mopping device that can better remove dirt and grime off floors. Dual rubber brushes improve the vacuuming process and prevent hair tangles, while its new HyperForce suction power of 6000 Pa can suck up all manner of debris and dirt. It also has new mopping technology that uses the technology of sonic vibrating to clean the floor and lift dirt.

The S8+ builds upon the strengths of the previous year's S7 MaxV series. It sports a chic design, a large 6.5-inch cleaning head and a solid build that doesn't feel cheap or flimsy. The top cover can be lifted to reveal an indicator light for WiFi and the system reset button.

Its object recognition and mapping system is robust that allows you to see 3D maps of your house and set no-go zones. It is possible to schedule cleaning sessions, and it will follow a pin that you place on the map. The new mopping feature on the S8+, VibraRise 2.0 is a major improvement over the previous iteration. It uses sonic vibration technology to scrub floors using consistent pressure and improve the lifting of dirt and grime.

The S8+ is a good robot vacuum for hard floors. It also does a decent job on carpets. However its performance isn't quite as impressive as our other robot vacuums. It is quiet and has a robust motor that delivers an excellent performance without making noise or rattles.

The S8+ has a built-in dust bin that automatically emptys when it's full, helping you keep your home clean for longer. However, it's not equipped with a separate water tank or washing station like the eufy X10 Pro Omni. It's required to empty the robot's base, wash its mop pads and fill up its water reservoir periodically. It's not a big deal, but can be a bit inconvenient. Fortunately, you can easily monitor the intervals between maintenance for these components through the S8+'s companion app.

2. Wyze Robot Vacuum

The Wyze Robot Vacuum is a great price, with LiDAR-enabled flooring mapping and an app that lets you define virtual boundaries and make cleaning schedules. It also has the ability to navigate obstacles like electric cables and chair legs. It isn't able to remove fine dust and isn't as efficient as other models for this price.

It does an excellent job vacuuming carpets with low piles and plain floors. It's small enough to fit under low furniture and can be used to climb over high rugs. It doesn't work well on stairs, and can get stuck in carpeting or a cable that is tightly wound.

The model, similar to the iRobot Roomba i4, can only vacuum dry materials and won't mop. It does come with a nozzle to vacuum liquids and other wet materials.

This robot is easy to operate and has a simple interface. The main screen shows the floor map as well as real-time cleaning statistics. The settings menu allows you to customize the cleaning and vacuuming settings and track the lifespan of the battery, brushes, and HEPA filter. You can also adjust the suction power level and choose between 'Quiet', 'Standard and 'Strong' based on the surface type.

The Wyze Robot Vacuum is controlled from the app or by pressing the 'Home' and 'Power' buttons on the robot itself. The robot can be redirected back to the dock by pressing the button again. Pressing the power button for three seconds will also shut off the robot.

The Wyze Robot Vacuum is more efficient and has a longer-lasting battery than the Tineco PWRHERO 11 which is priced similarly. It also performs better on carpets. It also has a bigger dirt compartment, fewer parts that need to be cleaned regularly, and incurs less in regular costs. The PWRHERO 11, however, charges faster, is less difficult to use when using bulky materials, has a bigger dustbin and has additional features, like an upholstery tool and remote control.

3. Shark ION Robot AV753 series

The Shark ION Robot is a excellent method of keeping your home clean. Voice control is easy and easy to use. It's a great choice for pet owners as it can handle hair from pets well. It has some limitations like its inability to remove small particles such as baking powder, and lack of mapping capabilities.

The ION comes with a wide range of automation options, including smart home integrations with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, which allow you to start cleaning sessions with a voice. Its Tri-Brush System combines side brushes, channel brushes and a multi-surface roll to handle a variety of surfaces. It also has smart sensors for cliffs that detect ledges and stairs and prevent bumps into walls and furniture.

It's well-made and does a great job of removing small and large particles from carpets and floors. It needs a bit more maintenance than the average robot vacuum, but is still simple to maintain. It has a respectable battery life, although it takes longer than the average robot vacuum to recharge.

If you're seeking a more advanced robotic vacuum for carpet vacuum such as the Shark EZ Robot Self Empty is a great option. It's similar to the ION, but with several important differences. It has a bigger dust bin that reduces the cost of maintenance over time, and it has a greater range of features that automate, such as the full-home floor-to-carpet Robot vacuum cleaner cleaning mode.

It also comes with a more extensive set of automation features than ILIFE A4s, and it is more robust. It has a stronger engine and is better suited to higher-pile carpets than the ILIFE. It has an HEPA filter that blocks allergens, it maneuvers better, and its battery lasts longer than the Shark ION. It also comes with a more advanced suite of cleaning functions that are automated, including the ability to restart an ongoing cleaning session from where it left off. Its smart sensor tech is also more advanced.

4. Eufy X8 Pro

The Eufy X8 Pro is one of the top carpet robot cleaner for carpet vacuum cleaners on the market. The machine comes with a 0.15 gallon dustbin that can hold a great deal of debris before needing to be emptied. Its Boost Intelligent feature boosts suction automatically when it notices a mess in the carpet. The X8 Pro can also be programmed to empty itself at regular intervals, or it can return to its base after each clean and untangle the brush bar (you can set the frequency at which it returns to base for this).

This model, like most of the other models on our list, uses iPath to map out your home and split it into cleaning segments. This makes it easy for the X8 Pro to find its way around furniture and into corners. However, the iPath system isn't 100% foolproof. For example, it sometimes leaves marks on carpets that don't disappear completely despite repeated passes over the same area. This is a disadvantage, especially if your robot will be used on carpet and floors that are unfinished.

The X8 Pro offers a comparable performance and is considerably less than the iRobot Roomba j7. However, the iRobot Roomba J7 is more built, is faster to charge and is more maneuverable. It also removes more dirt from carpets with low pile. It also comes with an upgraded suite of automation features and a more robust HEPA filter.

This is the most budget-friendly carpet vacuum cleaner, but it still has plenty to provide. It is easy to set up and occupies little space in the self-emptying station. You can also connect it to your 2.4GHz router for internet access.

Mumsnet editor Poppy tested the X8 Pro upstairs and downstairs in her 3-bedroom home with hardwood tiles, linoleum and tile floors, as well as four pets. She compared the X8Pro to her previous robot, Eufy 11S and used it on floors with carpet and bare flooring for two weeks.

The X8 Pro can also mop your floors, but you will have to fill the tank with water and connect the pad before it works. It can cross a 19mm threshold on paper, but in the real world it was unable to do this without some Austin Powers-style back and fore maneuvering and couldn't do it with the added weight of mop pads.
