The Best Robot Vacuum For Carpet

Whether you've got carpet with a high or low pile there's a robotic vacuum for you. These smart appliances automatically navigate through your home, pick up debris and even clean under furniture.

They come with advanced features like mapping, which help you navigate around your home and remember where furniture is located. They also can increase the suction power in order to take on dirtier surfaces.

iRobot Roomba 694"

The Roomba 694 from iRobot is a basic robot vacuum that works well on bare floors and low-pile carpet. It has good suction and cleans most debris, however it has trouble with bigger debris such as rice or sand. It also does a decent job of removing pet hair, but it's not immune to tangling like high-end Roomba models, such as the I6 or j7.

The Roomba is easy to use. It has three buttons on its top cover: 'Clean' starts the cleaning process, 'Dock' puts it back in its charging station, and 'Spot Clean' activates the targeted cleaning. It can be controlled with an app on your smartphone that allows you to schedule or stop/start cycles, and also adjust settings. You can also connect it with smart home devices like Alexa or Google Assistant for voice-controlled operation.

This vacuum is a little slower than others, but it is still able to get into the most crevices and corners. It comes with a large dust bin which is ideal to reduce the frequency at which you need to empty it. It's compatible with digital maps and virtual barriers, which allow you to set it to avoid specific areas or even stop cleaning completely when you want to stop it from getting stuck on something.

It's not the top in its price, but it's superior to other models. The Roborock E4 is more advanced than the Roomba 694, with better cleaning performance for carpets with low and no pile. It also has a more efficient cleaning path and has longer battery life. It also feels more durable and has fewer parts that need regular maintenance, costs less to own over its lifetime, and charges faster than the 694.

It's also worth looking at other models that are more expensive within the iRobot line, like the 981 or the v7. The 981 and v7 are more expensive, but have significant improvements in cleaning performance for both bare and low pile floors. They also have a bigger dirt compartment, charge faster, move more easily, and are easier to pair up with smart home devices.

Shark RV1001AE IQ

This budget self-emptying robot vacuum cleaner does a good job on low-pile carpet and hard flooring. Its combination brush reaches the edges and corners and automatically increases suction as soon as it senses carpet. It also is effective in cleaning dirt and debris that are embedded in the middle of the pile carpet. The IQ's tiny footprint for docks and the self-emptying feature are great features. However, if you wish to change the floor levels on the map, or set no-go zones, you'll need manually reset it to do this, which is somewhat of an inconvenience.

The IQ app provides advanced mapping and automated functions, however it lacks no-go zones. These are only available on iRobot robots. Its intelligent-pathing navigational system results in superior maneuverability and its high-pile carpet cleaning mode cleans well, but it tends to get caught up in rug tassels. Its iHome speaker lets you control the robot using voice commands.

During our tests, we observed that the IQ handled pet hair with ease. It was able to eliminate lots of debris on bare floors, and a fair amount of rug with a medium pile. It was less efficient on shag carpets, which was a struggle to reach dirt and dust buried in the fibers. It was able to navigate the legs of chairs, small spaces, and even the base of an IKEA wooden step stool. We did notice it was a little slower on floors that were not paved however it soon recovered speed and performed better than the other robots we tried.

The IQ is a better option than the iRobot Roomba 694 for most applications. It has a larger dustbin, a longer battery life and is better in navigating around obstacles. It has mopping tools that are able to clean up sticky mess. On the other side, the iRobot is built better, has fewer parts that require replacement or maintenance and has lower recurring costs and can even create virtual no-go zones with its companion app. It is able to continue cleaning the point it started, even if the battery is out before it has finished. The iRobot can also be controlled via voice, which is a major benefit for many users.

Eufy 11S

The RoboVac 11S from Eufy isn't the most feature-rich robot vacuum around, but it does offer great cleaning power for the price of. It's a budget-friendly option for buyers who don't require a complex mapping system or app to control the device. The robot is capable of running for a long time and includes an remote, cleaning tool, AC power adapter, charging base, and additional filters.

The 11S is slim, sleek, Sweep And Mop Robot features a tempered-glass upper deck that looks like the brushed appearance of aluminum. It's a nice departure from the utilitarian and industrial designs of Roomba, Samsung and Neato.

The eufy11S did well in our tests at removing larger particles and fine dust from hard flooring. However, it was unable to give high and medium pile carpeting an effective deep clean. The device also has a tendency to smack into furniture and people that are in its path, but it's able to detect those obstacles using sensors. If it encounters them it ceases to move and emits a loud sound so you can manually steer it through the obstacle before getting back to work.

Another excellent feature of the eufy11S is its BoostIQ mode that allows you to set the robot to automatically adjust the strength of its suction to match the floor type and level of mess. It's also simple to use the remote to direct the 11S in the direction you want it to go.

Single Room Mode is a great option for those with small furniture in the area you'd like to vacuum. The eufy will take 30 minutes focusing on cleaning the area it's assigned to.

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

Miele Complete C1

The Miele Complete C1 canister robot is a top mid-priced vacuum cleaner that is a winner on carpet. Its performance on bare floors is also exceptional. It is able to remove rice and other small particles effortlessly. The suction power doesn't decrease when the dirt bin is full. Its air-sealed, allergy-friendly design capture allergens, keeping your family healthy. It comes with an onboard HEPA and self-emptying bin, so you don't need any additional filters or a vacuum bag.

It's not quite as powerful as more expensive models, but is still excellent for deep cleaning and fighting staining. It comes with two cameras in front that deliver a live feed to your smartphone. It also has one of the most advanced obstacle avoidance systems. It has a huge bin, a long runtime and an easy, bump-free clean-up.

Contrary to other robots the Complete C1 can switch between a standard powerhead and a turbo head for different types of floors. The turbo head works best with high-pile or low-pile carpeting, while the standard powerhead is suitable for floors with no flooring and light rugs. It also features an automatic height adjustment system which lets it easily adapt to various types of flooring without any manual adjustments.

This model comes with a SBD 285-3 Classic Combination Floorhead that can handle hard floors as well as carpeting of medium-pile. The powerhead can be easily maneuvered and can reach hard-to-reach areas. It has five different adjustments to the surface and an off-brush switch to avoid hairs getting caught in knots.

The Classic C1 also has a self-cleaning brush roll and an UtraClean mode that moves across the same area three times for the best cleaning possible, and a self-emptying dustbin which can be filled with the press of the button. Its sound level is slightly higher than other models however its powerful 1,200-watt motor and robust construction make it worth the extra expense.

If you're willing to pay an extra amount then the Miele Complete C3 canister robot vacuum is an excellent all-around robot vacuum. It performs better on carpets than the Classic C1. It is better suited for any type of flooring and is more robustly built, and comes with an HEPA filter.
