The best smart mopping robot Robot Vacuum For Carpet

Whether you've got carpet with a high or low pile, there's a robot vacuum for you. These smart devices are able to navigate your home on their own, pick up debris and clean under furniture.

A lot of them come with advanced features, like mapping, which allows them to navigate your home and remember furniture placement. They can also increase the suction power in order to clean up surfaces that are dirtier.

iRobot Roomba 694"

The Roomba 694 by iRobot is an entry-level robot vacuum that is able to work on bare floors and low-pile carpet. It has a decent suction and can clean all kinds of debris, but it has trouble with larger debris like rice or sand. It also does a decent job of cleaning pet hair however it isn't resistant to tangling like the premium Roomba models such as the j7 or I6.

The Roomba is easy to use. It has three buttons on its top cover: 'Clean' launches an entire cleaning cycle and 'Dock' allows it to be put back in its charging station and 'Spot Clean' triggers the targeted cleaning. You can control it using an app for smartphones that lets you to schedule cycles, stop and start the cycle and change settings. You can also connect the device to smart home devices like Alexa or Google Assistant to control it by voice commands.

This vacuum cleaner is slower than some other models, but it can be able to reach the majority of corners and crevices. It has a huge dust bin, which is great to reduce the frequency at which you must empty it. It is compatible with digital barriers and virtual barriers, which allow you to set it to avoid specific areas or to stop completely cleaning in order to prevent it from getting stuck on something.

Although it's not the top model for its price but it's far superior to other options. The Roborock E4 has a better cleaning efficiency 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 path. It is also more robust, has fewer parts that require regular maintenance, is priced less over its lifetime and charges faster than 694.

It's also worth looking at other models that are more expensive in the iRobot line, such as the 981 or the v7. The v7 and 981 are more expensive, but provide significant improvement in cleaning efficiency, 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 devices.

Shark RV1001AE IQ

This self-emptying robot that is budget-friendly does a decent job on hard floors as well as carpets with a low pile. Its combo brush reaches into edges and corners, and it automatically increases suction when it detects carpet. It also does a great job of cleaning dirt off carpet in the middle. The IQ's compact dock footprint and self-emptying feature are great features. However, if you want to alter the floor level on the map, or set no-go zones you'll have to manually reset it to do this, which is somewhat of a hassle.

The IQ's app has some advanced mapping and automation features but it's missing no-go zones that are available on iRobot models. Its smart-pathing system allows for greater maneuverability and the high-pile feature of its carpet cleaning mode is very effective, although it can get caught on the tassels of the rug.

During our tests, we found that the IQ handled pet hair well. It was able to eliminate lots of debris on floors that were unfinished, and a fair amount on medium-pile rug. It was less effective on shag carpets, where it was unable to reach dirt and dust buried within the fibers. It did a good job of maneuvering chair legs and tight spaces, as well as the bottom of an wooden IKEA step stool. It was a bit slower on bare flooring, but it recovered speed and was more efficient than the other robots that we test.

The IQ is a better option over the iRobot Roomba 694 for most applications. It has a larger dustbin and a longer battery lifespan and is better at navigating obstacles. It comes with mopping tools that are able to clean up sticky mess. The iRobot however, is better constructed, has fewer components that need maintenance or replacement and has lower ongoing costs, and can even create virtual no-go zones with its companion application. It can continue cleaning where it left off, even if the battery is out before it has finished. The iRobot is also controlled by voice, which can be an advantage for many users.

Eufy 11S

The RoboVac 11S robotic vacuum isn't one of the most features-rich models, but it provides great cleaning power at a low cost. This vacuum was designed for consumers with a tight budget who do not require a complicated mapping system, or even an app, to control it. This robot will last for over an hour. It comes with an remote control, a cleaning tool and AC power adapter.

The 11S is slim and sleek with a tempered glass upper deck that is covered with plastic, which is finished to look like brushed aluminum. It's a nice departure from the utilitarian and industrial designs of Roomba, Samsung and Neato.

The eufy11S was successful in our tests of removing larger particles and fine dust from hard floors. However, it was unable to give high and medium pile carpets a thorough clean. The device also has a tendency to smack into furniture and other objects in its path however, it is able to detect those obstacles using sensors. It ceases and emits a loud noise when it comes across an obstruction. It is then possible to manually steer 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 suction force based on the type of floor and the amount of dirt. It's also easy to use the remote to direct the 11S where you'd like it to go.

Single Room Mode is a great option if you have little furniture in the space you'd like to vacuum. The eufy will spend 30 minutes intensely cleaning the space it's assigned.

You can also choose Edge Cleaning that limits the amount of time spent in each location to 20 minutes for maximum battery life. This option allows the eufy to move in a spiraling manner, cleaning corners and edges.

Miele Complete C1

The Miele Complete C1 is an excellent mid-range canister robotic vacuum that can be a great performer on carpet. Its performance on bare floors is also outstanding. It can remove rice and other fine particles easily. The suction power doesn't drop as the dirt bin gets full. Its design that is allergy-friendly and sealed with air will trap allergens to keep your family healthy. It has an onboard HEPA and self-emptying bin, so you don't need any additional filters or vacuum bags.

It's not as powerful as pricier models, but it's excellent for dealing with stains and deep cleaning. It has two cameras on the front that provide a live feed to your smartphone. It also comes with one of the most advanced obstacle avoidance systems. It has a huge bin, an extended runtime and a quick, bump-free cleanup.

The Complete C1 is unlike most robots because it can switch between a standard head and a turbo to suit different kinds of flooring. The turbo head is best robot Vacuum for hair on low-pile or high-pile carpeting, while the standard powerhead is ideal for floors with no flooring and light rugs. It also comes with an automated height adjustment system, that allows it to adapt to different kinds of flooring without manual adjustments.

This model comes with the SBD 285-3 Classic Combination Floorhead, which can be used on carpets with a hard surface and carpets with a medium pile. The powerhead is also easy to move and can be used to reach difficult areas. It has five levels of surface adjustment as well as an off-brush switch to prevent hairs from getting tangled.

The Classic C1 has a self cleaning brush roll, a UtraClean Mode that will clean the same area up to three times, and a self emptying dustbin that can be emptied by pressing a button. Its sound level is slightly higher than other models, but its powerful 1,200-watt motor and solid construction make it well worth the extra expense.

If you're willing a little more, the Miele Complete C3 is an excellent all-around canister robot vacuum that performs better on carpet than the Classic C1. It is better suited for all kinds of floors and is more robustly built, and comes with a HEPA filter.
