Our top 5 best robot vacuums for carpet are both powerful and detail-oriented
We tested some of the most powerful robot vacuums on the market to see how they performed on fur, crumbs, and hair on carpet and rugs. Find out which bots from iRobot, Shark, Roborock, and Yeedi aced our cleaning tests.
UPDATE: Jan. 9, 2024, 5:00 a.m. EST iRobot, Shark, and Ecovacs released new robot vacuums in 2023, and we're in the process of testing them hands-on. We'll continue to shift our top picks in this story accordingly.
Nearly any robot vacuum can sufficiently clear a hardwood, tile, or laminate floor of human hair, pet hair, crumbs, and other debris. But for a robot vacuum to work on carpet, its cleaning has to be more powerful and more meticulous to render results as satisfactory as what a real person wielding a powerful cordless Dyson could accomplish.
Buying the cheapest robot vacuum you can find will likely create more of a hassle every time it eats a frilly rug corner or welcomes you home to a living room still taken over by shedding because it couldn't muster the strength to pry fur from the carpet.
Lucky for you, the Mashable team has tested dozens of robot vacuums on several pile lengths and shapes of carpets, rugs, and bath mats. Based on our first-hand experience, we're here to help you pick the best robot vacuum for carpet and your home's layout, your lifestyle, and your budget. Here are our favorites for every carpeted situation in 2024.
