The sweeping robot has become our mini butler. As we rely more and more on them, sweeping robots meet demand through smart functions that allow us to arrange cleaning when we go out, control them through voice commands, or set which spaces should or should not be cleaned.

However, if most of your home is carpeted, or there are a lot of carpets around, the convenience of the robot vacuum cleaner becomes tricky. Many robot vacuum cleaners are known for getting stuck in strange places, being confused by dark floors, or refusing to transition from hardwood floors to carpets. Does a robot vacuum really make life easier, or does it become more troublesome every time it eats tassels or tries to transition from bare floors to high piles?

Not all sweeping robots are equipped with the ability to clean floor coverings. Some are just too small in suction or too small in gaps to properly handle thick long-pile carpets. When choosing a vacuum cleaner, you need to check the product page of each robot vacuum cleaner to understand the carpet height it can handle. Although most people only recommend low-pile carpets or flat-woven carpets, some vacuum cleaners can upgrade them to medium-pile or even high-puff.

So far, good maneuvers can only achieve vacuum. Carpets and rugs are where pet hair, debris, and dust disappear, so strong (but organized) suction is key to households with a lot of stubborn floor coverings.

According to general experience, vertical vacuum cleaners have greater suction power than compact robot vacuum cleaners. However, if you still want to outsource this work, please look for a robotic vacuum cleaner with a suction level between 1800 and 2500 Pa to ensure that the debris accumulated in the carpet fibers is effectively combed. Most modern vacuum cleaners have an enhanced mode that automatically activates when the vacuum senses the carpet. The same sensors should be smart enough to facilitate a smooth transition to dark hardwood floors, and *don't* mistake them for cliffs.

Dual brushes and automatic cleaning brushes are also an excellent complement to carpets. If you have a dog (or roommate) shedding like their job, then the hair is likely to be deeply embedded in your carpet. Normal vacuum cleaners tend to wrap hair around the brush roll, but a robotic vacuum cleaner with dual brushes or self-cleaning brushes will help you avoid the step of pulling a curl of hair from the bottom of the vacuum cleaner every week.

Any robot vacuum cleaner is unlikely to damage your carpet. However, loose carpet ropes and carpets with tassel ends require attention. Clumsy robots with inaccurate object sensors may swallow them and get stuck on them, possibly damaging your floor covering. People who like high-quality ruffled carpets should consider using robotic vacuum cleaners that follow virtual boundaries through smart mapping (rather than physical magnetic prohibitions that are not always effective).

Both are good, which is why you will see these two brands in this list. Roomba tends to feel stronger on the outside and has a strong suction power-but the disadvantages are that they are expensive, noisy, and prone to technical errors. On the other hand, the appearance of the Shark robot vacuum cleaner may not feel so durable, but it is very suitable for quiet cleaning and still provides smart features at a lower price. However, the shark vacuum cleaner sometimes gets lost, as recorded in this lively TikTok video.

Overall, these two sweeping robot brands both offer smart features, reliable navigation, and strong suction power, so the choice between Shark and Roomba will depend on the price point and noise tolerance you want.

Robot vacuum cleaners get more front-page attention in Black Friday advertisements every year, but more transactions are completely scattered on the Internet. We have been tracking from October to Cyber ​​Monday and beyond, including the early Black Friday robot vacuum cleaner transactions that have been launched. Keeping your choice is the best way to ensure that the vacuum cleaner is functional (automatic emptying, mopping, specific room positioning) within your satisfied budget (whether it's less than $300 or more than $1,000, if it's really good) .

Here are more details about each of our preferred products:

Roomba s9 is indeed the top robot vacuum cleaner currently available-expensive. Its market-leading 2500Pa suction is very suitable for homes full of plush carpets, which will undoubtedly accumulate hair and debris. After circumventing the wall with a flat edge and completing the required number of times to complete the work, s9 will release the dust on its own. You do not need to empty the base for at least 60 days since it is empty.

Advanced sensors and navigation make it easy for s9 to understand the layout of your home. It can distinguish different rooms of the house, so you can send it to a specific room when there is a mess, it will understand that the more you use it, and provide a customized cleaning plan. 

If you want to completely forget about vacuuming for a month, Shark IQ is the family helper you need. It has an automatic cleaning brush roller to reduce hair tangling, an automatic emptying base and quick mapping to optimize cleaning. You can also control it from devices that support Alexa or Google Assistant to achieve complete smart home integration.

The suction power is also strong enough to really clean your carpet and will suck up debris on the surface during the first run. Extra rewards? The multi-stage filtration system filters out dust, dander and pet hair, keeping your home away from allergens. 

That old-fashioned heirloom carpet in your living room? Roomba i3 is probably fine. Other robots with stronger suction may directly suck it, while weaker robots may slide directly over pet hair woven in fibers. Dark or black carpets will not make it fall, which is different from other models that might think they are cliffs. 

i3 has dual multi-surface rubber brushes that will not tangles, bend and adjust to the hair to maintain contact with the carpet and carpet during the entire vacuuming process. iRobot's reactive sensor technology allows the robot to know where and where it is not, thereby reducing the possibility of being entangled in furniture.

The Neato D6 D-shaped vacuum cleaner will not empty itself like the Roomba s9, but it will not empty your wallet either. Laser navigation can help D6 plan the cleaning process and move in a straight line, which can be adjusted through the forbidden boundary. The 11-inch large combo brush can also cover a large floor with each pass.

Compared with some other top competitors, this vacuum cleaner is highly rated by users of carpets, but it is definitely the most suitable for families with low-pile carpets and rugs. (It tends to take up a lot of battery life on medium and high piles.) The D6 replaces the Neato Botvac D7 on our list and is almost impossible to find in inventory.

If you can live without bells and whistles, if it means saving some money, then this Eufy RoboVac is an efficient budget model.

Although it bounces somewhat randomly instead of using more purposeful smart navigation, you can still control it through the app or voice and set a custom cleaning plan. Its BoostIQ technology (activated when the robot senses the carpet) and 2,000Pa suction power are very strong for carpets in this price range.
