# Best robot vacuums for carpet Source: https://dockandmop.co.uk/best/best-robot-vacuum-for-carpet Publisher: Dock and Mop. Picks are based on what the Amazon listings state, not on hands-on testing. Method: https://dockandmop.co.uk/how-we-pick Carpet is where a robot vacuum earns its keep. Fibres hold on to grit and hair far more than hard floors, so suction and brush design matter more than on laminate or tile. If the robot also mops, the bigger worry is a wet pad dragging across your rugs. The best carpet picks pair high suction with a main brush that resists hair wrap, and either lift the mop clear (makers quote this in millimetres) or retract it entirely. Carpet modes that boost suction or skip rugs when mopping are a bonus. This guide compares six models for homes that are mostly carpet or a mix of carpet and hard floors, looking at suction in Pa, what happens to the mop on carpet, the brush, the dock and the listed runtime, all taken from the Amazon listings. ## Products ### 1. Roborock Saros 10R Robot Vacuum Cleaner and Mop, 22,000 Pa Suction Power, Lint-Free Design, Corner and Edge Cleaning, Automatic Dust Removal and Hot Air Drying Robot height: 8 cm (3.14 in); Threshold climb: Up to 4 cm; Navigation: 3D detection; Suction: 22,000 Pa; Dock: Auto-empty, mop wash, hot air drying At 8 cm the Saros 10R slides under tight furniture and hanging cabinets, and its AdaptiLift chassis climbs up to 4 cm. The best mix of slim build and getting over obstacles in this list. In its favour: - Slim 3.14 inch (8 cm) profile, and 3D detection helps it clean under tight furniture and hanging cabinets. - AdaptiLift chassis climbs thresholds and U-shaped furniture legs up to 4 cm high. - 22,000 Pa HyperForce suction, with a FlexiArm riser mop and side brush that reach corners under furniture. Good to know: - The listing gives no runtime, so coverage per charge is unknown. - Spec details are thin compared with rivals, with little on the dock beyond emptying and drying. ### 2. ECOVACS DEEBOT T80S Omni Robot Vacuum Cleaner and Mop, 24,800Pa Suction, Instant Self-Cleaning OZMO Roller Mop, Car Lift Mop for Carpet and Spill Protection, AI Navigation, ZeroTangle 3.0 for Suction: 24,800 Pa; Mop type: OZMO self-washing roller, extends to edges; Mop lift: Up to 15 mm; Dock jobs: Auto-empty, hot-water mop wash, 60°C air drying, refill; Runtime: 200 min A roller-mop combo that rinses the roller as it cleans, lifts it up to 15 mm on carpet and lifts the brushes when it detects liquid. A strong pick if you want vacuuming and mopping kept apart in kitchens and hallways. In its favour: - Self-washing OZMO roller scrubs with clean water rather than pushing dirty water around, per the maker. - Triple lift system raises the roller up to 15 mm on carpets and lifts brushes when liquid is detected. - Dock empties dust, washes the mop in hot water and air-dries at 60°C, with ZeroTangle 3.0 for hair. Good to know: - Robot height is about 9.7 cm, so check the clearance under low sofas and beds before buying. - Noise is listed at 61 dB, and the runtime figure comes from the spec table without a mode stated. ### 3. iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max Robot Vacuum and Mop + AutoWash Dock - Multi-Functional Base, Refills Bin, Washes & Dries It's Pad, Self-Emptying, Auto-Retract Pad, Avoids Obstacles Suction: Not stated; Mop on carpet: Retracts to top of robot; Main brush: Dual rubber brushes; Dock: AutoWash, self-empty, refill, pad wash and dry; Runtime: Not stated The best answer to wet rugs here: the Auto-Retract Mopping System lifts the pad right up onto the top of the robot. Dual rubber brushes resist pet hair tangles on carpet. In its favour: - Auto-Retract Mopping System lifts the pad to the top of the robot, so carpets stay dry, according to iRobot. - Dual Rubber Brushes avoid pet hair tangles while strong suction pulls embedded dirt from carpet. - AutoWash Dock empties debris, refills the tank, and washes and dries the pad. Good to know: - The listing gives no suction figure in Pa, so raw power is hard to compare. - Runtime is not stated in the listing, so coverage per charge is unclear. ### 4. Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum & Mop, Black/Brass, AV2613WA Suction: Not stated; Mop on carpet: Not stated; Main brush: Self-cleaning, anti-hair-wrap brushroll; Dock: Bagless HEPA self-empty, 60 days; Runtime: 110 minutes Shark's Matrix Clean pattern makes multiple passes in a grid, which the maker says gives 30% better carpet cleaning than its single-pass model. A bagless base keeps running costs simple. In its favour: - Matrix Clean grid passes give 30% better carpet cleaning versus Shark's RV2610WD single pass, according to Shark. - Self-cleaning brushroll digs into carpet and is designed to resist hair wrap. - Bagless HEPA base holds up to 60 days of debris with no bags to buy. Good to know: - The listing does not say the mop lifts on carpet, so plan to remove the pad before vacuuming rugs. - No suction figure in Pa is listed, and runtime is 110 minutes. ### 5.
