The Best Robot Vacuum For Carpet

There's a 360 robot Vacuum to suit every carpet type, 360 robot vacuum whether it's low-pile or high-pile. These intelligent appliances can navigate your home automatically and pick up dirt and clean under furniture.

They have advanced features such as mapping that helps them navigate through your home and keep track of where furniture is located. They can also increase the suction power in order to tackle dirtier surfaces.

iRobot Roomba 694"

The iRobot Roomba 694 is a robot vacuum for entry-level use that works well on carpets with low pile and bare floors. It has a decent suction and can clean all kinds of debris, but it struggles with larger particles like rice or sand. It also does a decent job of cleaning pet hair but it's not resistant to tangling like the high-end Roomba models like the j7 or I6.

The Roomba 694 is easy to use. It features three buttons on the top cover. "Clean," which initiates a cleaning session, 'Dock,' which puts it in its charging station, and the 'Spot' button, which triggers a targeted cleaning. It can be controlled with an app for smartphones that lets you schedule and stop/start cycles, as well as adjust settings. You can also connect it with smart home devices such as Alexa or Google Assistant for voice-controlled operation.

This vacuum is slower than other models, but it is still able to reach most corners and crevices. It comes with a large bin, which makes it easier to empty. It is compatible with digital mapping and virtual barriers, which lets you set the robot to avoid certain areas or stop cleaning completely to stop it from getting stuck.

Although it's not the top model in its price range, it's better than many other options. The Roborock E4 has a better cleaning capability than the Roomba 694 and it can clean both carpets with low pile as well as bare. It also has a more durable battery and a cleaner route. It is also more robust, has fewer components that require regular maintenance, costs less over its lifetime, and charges faster than 694.

It's also worth looking at other models that are more expensive from the iRobot line, such as the 981 or the v7. The 981 and v7 are more expensive, but they offer significant improvements in cleaning performance, both on low and bare pile floors. They also have a larger dirt compartment and charge faster, move more easily, and are more a breeze to pair with smart home robot vacuum devices.

Shark RV1001AE IQ

This budget self-emptying robotic vacuum cleaner does a great job on low-pile carpet and hard flooring. Its combo brush reaches into edges and corners, and it automatically boosts suction when it senses carpet. It also excels at cleaning dirt and debris that are embedded in the middle of the pile carpet. The IQ has a small footprint and a self-emptying function. However, if you want to alter the floor level on the map, or set no-go zones you'll have to manually reset it in order to do this, which can be quite a hassle.

The IQ's app has some advanced mapping and automation capabilities however it doesn't have no-go zones which are included on iRobot models. The smart-pathing navigation system provides greater maneuverability, and its high-pile carpet mode cleans well, though it does have a tendency to get caught up in rug tassels. Its iHome speaker allows you to control the robot with voice commands.

During our tests, we observed that the IQ was able to handle pet hair effectively. It was able to remove the majority of hair on floors that were not bare and a good amount of medium-pile rug. It was less effective on shag carpets, where it was unable to reach dirt and dust that was embedded in the fibers. It was able navigate the legs of a chair, tiny spaces and even the base of an IKEA wooden step stool. It was a little slower on flooring that was not fully covered, but it recovered speed and performed better than other robots that we test.

The IQ is a better option than the iRobot Roomba 694 for most applications. It has a larger dustbin and a longer battery life and is more adept at navigating obstacles. It comes with mopping tools that can clean up sticky mess. The iRobot, on the other hand feels better built and has less components that need maintenance or replacement, incurs less ongoing costs, and can even create virtual no go zones using its companion application. It can even resume a cleaning session from where it left off if it is unable to recharge its battery prior to it has completed the task. The iRobot can also be controlled with voice commands, which is a big plus for many users.

Eufy 11S

The RoboVac 11S robotic vacuum isn't among the most feature-rich models, but it provides great cleaning power at a low cost. It's designed for those who don't need a complicated mapping system or an app to control the device. This robot will last for up to an hour. It includes an remote control, a cleaning tool and AC power adapter.

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

The eufy11S performed well in our tests of removing larger debris and fine dust from hard flooring. It was unable to thoroughly clean medium and high-pile carpets. The device is capable to hit furniture and people along its course. However, it is able to detect these obstacles using sensors. It stops and emits a loud ring when it encounters an obstruction. It is then possible to manually guide the device around the obstacle and restart it.

The BoostIQ mode is another fantastic feature of the Eufy11S. It allows you to set up the robot to automatically adjust the suction strength based on the type of floor and the level of the mess. It's also easy to use the remote to direct the 11S where you'd like it to go.

If you don't have much furniture in the room you're looking to vacuum, Single Room Mode is an excellent option. The eufy will spend 30 minutes intensely cleaning the area that it's assigned to.

Edge Cleaning is another option that can limit the time spent on each area to just 20 minutes. This will increase the battery's life. If you select this option, the eufy will move in a spiral, tackling corners and edges to ensure a clean.

Miele Complete C1

The Miele Complete C1 is an excellent mid-range canister robot vacuum that can be a great performer on carpet. Its performance on bare floors is also impressive. It is able to remove fine debris like rice easily and it doesn't suffer from suction power even when its dirt bin gets full. Its air-sealed design and allergy-friendly design capture allergens and keep your family healthy. It has an onboard HEPA and self-emptying bin, so you don't need additional filters or a vacuum bag.

It's not as effective as the more expensive models, but is still ideal for deep cleaning and tackling the toughest stains. The two cameras on the front of the unit provide a live image feed on your smartphone, and it features one of the most effective obstacle avoidance systems we've ever seen. It has a large bin, a long running time and the ability to clean up quickly and without bumps.

Contrary to other robots the Complete C1 can switch between a standard powerhead and a turbo head to suit different flooring types. The turbo head works best with high-pile or low-pile carpeting while the standard powerhead is good for bare floors and light carpets. It also comes with an automatic height adjustment system that allows it to adapt to different types flooring without manual adjustments.

This model is included with the SBD 285-3 Classic Combination Floorhead, which can be used on hard floors and carpets of medium pile. The powerhead can be easily moved and can reach hard-to-reach areas. It comes with five different surface adjustments as well as an off-brush switch to avoid tangled hairs.

The Classic C1 also has a self-cleaning brush roll and an UtraClean mode that goes around the same area three times to give the most thorough cleaning and a self-emptying bin that can be empty at the push of the button. Its noise level is a little higher than other models however, its powerful 1,200-watt motor as well as solid construction make it well worth the extra expense.

If you're willing to pay more, the Miele Complete C3 is an excellent all-round robot vacuum that is more effective on carpet than the Classic C1. It has a better performance on all floors, feels more solidly built and comes with an HEPA filter.
