Our top 5 robot vacuums for carpet are powerful and detail-oriented
We tested the most powerful robot vacuums on carpets and rugs to see how they performed on dust, crumbs, and pet hair.
UPDATE: Feb. 7, 2024, 5:00 a.m. EST iRobot, Shark, and Ecovacs released new robot vacuums at CES 2024, and we're in the process of testing them. 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 the hair and crumbs blowing across it like tumbleweeds. But a robot vacuum working on carpet requires much more meticulousness to uproot the debris that clings to carpet fibers for dear life.
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. At that point, you'd probably rather just do the job yourself — but rest assured that that's not simply an inevitable experience with every robot vacuum. Not if you buy one specifically designed to master carpet. The best robot vacuum for carpet will easily clear away pet hair, dust bunnies, and everyday debris, and without letting you down on other floor types.
The Mashable team is on a continuous mission to narrow down those options for you. We've hands-on tested dozens of robot vacuums on several pile lengths of carpets, rugs, and bath mats in a variety of home layouts. Here are our favorites for every carpeted situation in 2024.
