What to Look For in a Robot Carpet Cleaner

Many robots are effective at picking up hairs and other debris from carpeted floors. It is recommended to look for robots with a spot or zone cleaning mode, which allows you to specify a specific area to be cleaned.

The most effective robots are outfitted with sensors that allow them to navigate around your home and then return to their charging station to charge themselves. They can be much more efficient than dragging a vacuum cleaner around your home.

Self-charging

Robot carpet vacuum cleaner cordless cleaners require less care than traditional vacuum cleaners. So long as you're keeping up with the basics, such as checking the rotating brushes for tangled hair, emptying (and occasionally rinsing if the manufacturer says it's acceptable) the dust bin on your robot after each cleaning session and cleaning the sensors or cameras to make sure they are able to be able to see your home clearly for the next cleaning session and you'll be in a position to use your robot for a long time.

Some robots also have automatic recognition of carpets, which increases the suction to capture embedded dirt. This feature is especially important if your home has carpets. Some models will also lift the mop pads in order to avoid wetting your carpets and rugs.

This feature is also available on robots with a budget, like our budget recommendation, iLife V3S Pro. The model was less expensive than the other smart robots that we tested, yet it was capable of eating Cheerios and a heap of oatmeal easily. It also managed navigate through an animal poop, numerous cords and a fake dog's poop, without getting stuck.

However, you should keep in mind that robots typically have a a very short warranty period of only one or two years. When CHOICE asked owners of robots about their reliability in 2020 many complained about issues with their machines, and a few complained about the high price of replacing parts. Consider how often you'll need to replace the battery and parts of your robotic vacuum before you commit to a particular model.

Self-emptying

If you're in search of an automated carpet cleaner, you should look for one that can simultaneously vacuum and mop your floors. This will allow you to enjoy a completely effortless cleaning experience. These bots can do the chores while you're away, and some models come with scheduling capabilities, so you can choose when and how often you'd like your home to be cleaned.

Choose a robot with powerful batteries that can clean thoroughly without the need to recharge. It should be able to continue cleaning exactly where it stopped. This will save you time. It's also useful in the event that the robot is equipped with clever features that improve performance in difficult areas. The Roborock X5S, for example, has a mapping function that allows it to create more accurate maps than any other smart bot. It also allows users to view their map in three-dimensional and make adjustments like no-go zones. It also has a spot cleaning mode that gets rid of spills quicker and provides a turbo boost for rugs with fur.

Robot manufacturers are striving to improve their abilities to identify carpet so that they can alter their cleaning modes to better match the type of flooring. Some robots, like our top pick, the iRobot Roomba S9+ can detect carpet and boost suction automatically to better suck-up embedded dirt. Certain models, such as the iLife V3s Pro can lift their mops above carpets and utilize a rubber bristle that is less likely to get caught than Eufy.

You should also consider an automatic vacuum cleaner or mop with an empty bin that can be cleaned and removed (if the manufacturer recommends it) and a nozzle which can be replaced when it gets clogged. You should also look for a robot that can wash its filter and dry it after each cleaning session.

Self-cleaning

If you have a lot of carpet in your home, then you should look for a robot that can manage it effectively. Several brands, including iRobot, WINBOT and Eufy, have developed models that do an excellent job on carpeted floors.

Some robots such as the iRobot Roomba S9+ can detect when they are in areas with carpet and increase suction to pick up embedded dirt better. It's not an essential feature however it's a useful feature in the event that your home has a mix of hard flooring and soft flooring.

Other robots like the Roborock Q Revo can vacuum and mop floors at the same time. They use circular pads which rotate at a rate of 200 revolutions per minute. They can handle carpets that are up to 7 millimeters thick. This model is able to detect carpeted areas, and lifts its pads to avoid soaking your flooring. The tank's size is big enough for multiple cleaning sessions, so you won't need to empty it regularly.

In addition to the mentioned features that are mentioned above, many robots can be programmed via an app or integrated with a virtual assistant to perform scheduled tasks. The iRobot Roomba S9+, for instance, can be set to return automatically to its dock, and then clean up after a predetermined time has been completed. You can also manually move the robot back to its base by pressing the dock button on the device.

Shark ION Robot The AV753 series is an excellent robot vacuum cleaner for carpet floor for carpeted floors. It's reasonably priced and performs well. It does not have the iRobot Roomba’s LIDAR sensors for mapping and does not divide rooms into zones. However it is great in removing debris from hardwood flooring and carpets with a low pile. It has a self-emptying dust bin that is controlled by the iRobot App or Amazon Alexa.

Sensors

Sensors are required for robots to navigate your home and clean it up without supervision. Sensors are used to prevent them from hitting obstacles, create maps of the area that they are cleaning, and detect areas that are dirty. They can be built inside the robot's body or as a separate module. They could include ultrasonic sensors and cliff sensors.

Certain models have bump sensors that work like a bumper car for humans to stop the robot from hitting things. These could be ineffective which can result in paint scuffs or scratches to furniture. A robot vacuum cleaner carpet equipped with advanced laser guidance is better, as it's more accurate and precise. It's expensive, but worth it if you are worried about your walls or chairs being scratched.

Most robot vacuums are adept at picking up dirt from hard floors and carpets with a low pile. They typically struggle with fine material embedded deep inside the carpet's fibers however. They also don't pick up dust near baseboards or doors, in the same way as an upright or canister vacuum. Because of this, many people prefer to use a regular vacuum along with their robot model.

Certain robots come with the feature of Dirt Detect that helps them spot dirt incidents. They then focus on these areas. If the robot detects a large amount of cat litter, for example, it will go back to the start of the mess and repeat the process until the litter is gone. You can also purchase a mopping robot which can both vacuum and wet-mop. These units use a circular pad which spins at 200 revolutions per minute. They can be used on soft and hard surfaces, including flooring carpets.

Navigation

If you're in the market for a carpet cleaner robot navigation is a crucial consideration. This determines the quality of cleaning and whether or not the robot will bump into furniture or stick to walls. Some robots employ camera mapping, while others have lasers or gyroscopes that can navigate through the room. This kind of technology can be costly, but it's worth the investment if you want your home to be as clean as possible.

A robot with a great navigation system will clear your entire house quickly and efficiently. It will not get stuck or get caught in obstacles. It will also stay clear of areas it's already cleaned. This is particularly important if you have several rooms or a large floor plan. Many high-end robotic vacuums come with maps that let you to view the cleaning route in an app or set no-go zones.

Robots with no ability to map are more likely to experience difficulty navigating edges and corners. They may miss certain areas or even entire rooms. A robot with SLAM navigation can prevent these problems by creating an accurate map of the room. The best robot vacuums with SLAM can save this map and keep track of where they've been, making them faster and more efficient than those that don't have this feature.

The cheapest robot we tried The Eufy RoboVac 11S Max, did better than any other model we reviewed during our tests, except for the much pricier Roborock Q5. Its long run time as well as its large dust bin and mobility make it perfect for homes with large spaces. It comes with a range of smart features including automatic charging and resume, a strong brush bar and flooring type detection.
