Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner For Carpet

Some robot vacuums are better at cleaning floors than others, but certain models excel at carpeting and rug. If you have carpets, consider one that comes with powerful suction and specialized carpet cleaning tech like the eufy X10 Pro.

Look for a long battery runtime and a large dust bin. Also, find out whether your robot vacuum will continue cleaning where it left off after recharge.

1. Roborock S8+

The Roborock S8+ vacuum and mopping robot cleaner features improved suction and a mopping system that eliminates more dirt and stains from floors. Dual rubber brushes improve the vacuuming process and prevent hair tangles. Additionally, its new HyperForce suction power of 6000 Pa can get rid of all kinds of dirt and debris. It also comes with a brand new mopping system that makes use of the technology of sonic vibration to scrub floors and lift dirt and grime.

The S8+ builds on the strengths of the previous year's S7 MaxV series. It features a stylish design, a large 6.5-inch diameter cleaning head, and a sturdy build quality that doesn't seem flimsy or cheap. The top cover can be removed to reveal a WiFi indicator light and a system reset button.

Its object recognition and mapping system is robust and allows you to view 3D maps of your home and to set no-go zones. You can schedule cleaning times, and it will follow a pin you put on the map. The new mopping system for the S8+, VibraRise 2.0, is a big improvement over the previous version. It utilizes sonic vibration technology to scrub floors using constant pressure and increase the lifting of dirt and grime.

The S8+ is a good robot vacuum for hard floors. It also performs well on carpets. However the performance isn't as impressive as some of our other robot vacuums. It is a sturdy and quiet motor that provides excellent performance, without making noticeable noise or squeaks.

The S8+ has a built-in dust bin that automatically emptys when it's full, allowing you to keep your home clean for longer. However, it's not equipped with an individual wash station or water tank like the eufy X10 Pro Omni. It's necessary to empty the robot's base and wash its mop pads and fill up its water reservoir periodically. This isn't a huge deal, but it can be a little inconvenient. The S8+ companion app lets you easily keep track of these maintenance intervals.

2. Wyze Robot Vacuum

The Wyze Robot Vacuum offers excellent value thanks to its LiDAR floor mapping and an app that allows you to set virtual boundaries and create cleaning programs. It is also able to negotiate obstacles such as chair legs and electrical cables. It isn't able to remove fine dust and isn't as effective as other models in this price range.

It's great at vacuuming carpets with low piles as well as bare floors. It's small enough to fit under furniture that isn't too high and can clits well. However, it has some limitations, like its inability to remove fine debris like baking soda, and its lack of mapping capabilities.

The ION has a wide array of features for automation. These include smart home integrations, including Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, that allow you to start cleaning sessions by speaking. The Tri-Brush System blends side brushes, channel brushes and a multi-surfacer to clean a variety surfaces. It also has intelligent sensors for cliffs that detect ledges and stairs, and help avoid bumping into furniture and walls.

It's fairly well-made, and does a decent job in removing small and large debris from floors with no floor and low and high-pile carpet vacuum and cleaner. It needs a bit more maintenance than a typical robotic carpet cleaner vacuum, but is still easy to maintain. It has a respectable battery life, but it takes longer than the average robot vacuum to recharge.

If you are looking for a more advanced robotic vacuum such as the Shark EZ Robot Self Empty is a excellent choice. It's similar to the ION but with some important differences. It has a bigger dust bin, which reduces your recurring costs over time as well as a greater range of automation options, including the full-home floor-to-carpet cleaning mode.

It comes with a more sophisticated set of automation features and feels more durable than the ILIFE A4s. It has a larger engine which makes it suitable for carpets with higher piles than ILIFE. It also has an allergen-trapping HEPA filter, moves more efficiently, and has a longer duration of battery life than the Shark ION. It also has more advanced cleaning functions that are automated, including the ability to restart an in-progress cleaning session from where it left off. Its smart sensor technology is more advanced, too.

4. Eufy X8 Pro

The Eufy X8 Pro is one of the best carpet robot vacuum cleaners available. It comes with a 0.15 gallon dust bin that can hold a lot of debris before it needs to be empty. Its Boost Intelligent feature boosts suction automatically if it spots a mess in the carpet. The X8 Pro can also be set to automatically empty itself at regular intervals, or it can return to its base after every clean and detangle the brush bar (you can set the frequency at which it comes back for this).

The model, as well as many of the other models on our list uses iPath to map out your home and break it down into cleaning segments. The X8 Pro can easily navigate through corners and around furniture. The iPath isn't impervious to error. For example, it sometimes leaves marks on carpets that aren't completely gone even after repeated runs over the same area. This can be an issue, particularly in the event that you plan to make use of your robot for a mix of bare floors and carpet.

The X8 Pro is much cheaper than the iRobot Roomba J7 and has comparable performance, but the iRobot is more sturdy, charges substantially faster, maneuvers itself more effectively, and clears more dirt from carpets with low pile. It also comes with an advanced set of automation features, and a stronger HEPA filter.

This is the most budget-friendly carpet vacuum cleaner, but it has plenty to provide. It's simple to set up and occupies a tiny space in its self-emptying station and can be plugged into your 2.4 GHz router to connect to the internet.

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 X8 Pro to her previous robot, Eufy 11S and used it on floors with carpet and bare flooring for two weeks.

The X8 Pro has the ability to mop floors as well, though you'll have to fill the water tank, attach the pad included and wipe down your floor before it can do its job. It can cross a 19mm threshold on paper, but in actual use it struggled to do so without some Austin Powers-style back and fore manoeuvring and didn't manage it with the additional weight of mop pads.
