We recommend the GE Profile Freestanding Electric True Convection Range for its double oven and stylish design. We also recommend the KitchenAid Slide-In Electric Induction Convection Range for its large capacity and powerful cooking elements. The Samsung Smart Freestanding Electric Range is a solid choice if you’re looking for a more middle-of-the-road, standard model.

10 Best Electric Ranges of 2023

Gas may be the pros’ choice, and induction may be the (magnetic) wave of the future, but there’s still plenty to be said for cooking with radiant electric cooktops. Electric ranges can provide an impressively wide temperature range, consistently excellent convection, and even heating across the board. These are all great things to have if you enjoy cooking.

While the decision of which fuel to cook with might be out of your hands, you still have plenty of options when it comes to the model. And there are dozens of options to choose from. But lucky for you, we’ve tested enough electric ranges to make some strong recommendations. That includes our best overall pick, the Whirlpool WGE745C0FS
(available at Best Buy for $1,449.99)

The Whirlpool WGE745C0FS is the best electric range we’ve tested.

Best Overall

Whirlpool WGE745C0FS

The Whirlpool WGE745C0FS electric range is a knockout across the board. It passed every test we threw at it with flying colors, from boiling water to baking pizza. Its ability to multitask sets it apart from other ranges. In particular, we loved having the option to bake two dishes at different temperatures simultaneously and fit at least four pots on the cooktop at once.

This range is chock-full of features, including Frozen Bake, Rapid Preheat, and Sabbath Mode. You won’t find an air fry setting, but True Convection mode will produce the same deliciously crispy results. It’s available in stainless steel, black, and white finishes, so it’s designed to match most kitchens. Regardless of the finish, we like the look of this range in particular because of the ultra-sleek smooth cooktop.

The only small downside we could find to this range was the uneven doneness of cookies when we tested True Convection mode in the bottom oven. That said, this is still the best electric range we’ve tested.

Other Electric Ranges We Tested

LG LREL6325F

The LG LREL6325F Freestanding Electric Range was our former top-performing electric range. Its cooktop is sleek, easy to clean, and features two dual-zone burners. And the average boil times for its five burners are the fastest of any electric range we’ve tested.

This oven baked cookies, pork, and pizza evenly. Plus it’s got a built-in Air Fry feature that produced perfectly crispy French fries when we tested. This smart range is Wi-Fi–capable and is compatible with LG’s ThinQ smartphone app, which allows users to control their range using Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa.

Frigidaire Professional PCFE3078AF

The Frigidaire Professional PCFE3078AF Electric Range has the bells and whistles you expect to see in high-end appliances.

It’s one of the top-performing ranges we’ve tested and has many bonus features, such as the true-convection oven that can also air fry. The smooth, glass cooktop surface makes cleaning a breeze. Performance-wise, this range received perfect scores in our oven tests, from roasting pork chops to baking multiple trays of cookies.

This gorgeous slide-in range is great for baking enthusiasts and has a built-in oven probe to help you monitor the food. However, it took a while to preheat and bring a pot of water to a boil. Those basics aside, serious bakers will likely find a lot to like with this appliance.

Samsung NE59J7850WS

Unlike a typical dual-oven range, the Samsung NE59J7850WS allows you to divide the 5.9-cubic-foot oven cavity in two on-demand, offering a new level of adaptability.

You can also bisect the door, but only when and if you choose. Along with the oven(s), the rangetop easily reaches searing heats or simmering lows. Whether you want to cook a Thanksgiving turkey or cook multiple meals at once, this range can fit your needs.

Cons

• Uneven baking

Samsung NE59M6850SS

We love the Samsung NE59M6850SS/AA electric range with convection.

Its Flex Duo divider means it’s three ovens in one package. It can function as a large, single oven, or you can slide in the divider to convert it into two smaller ovens for baking two things at once. This model also offers Wi-Fi for remote preheat, two powerful burners, great low-heat simmering. And it boasts some of the best roasting we’ve ever tested.

Pros

• Roasts food well

• Fast boiling

Cons

• Uneven baking

LG LSSE3027ST

The LG Studio LSSE3027ST Electric Range is a fine range in terms of performance, but it’s not the best or cheapest LG electric range we’ve tested.

The average boil time across its five burners (two dual-zone, three single-zone) was faster than our top-performing electric range, the Electrolux EI30EF45QS. We like that it has useful features like ProBake Convection, Remote Start, and ThinQ app capabilities.

Cons

• Uneven baking

• Slow preheat

Frigidaire Gallery FGEh4047VF

If you like to multitask in the kitchen, then you’ll love the Frigidaire FGEh4047VF. This range has five burners, the front two of which have multiple rings, and can reach temperatures well over 800°F. The oven gets hot enough to cook a pizza (at 500°F), and makes baking evenly baked cookies look like a cakewalk.

The real selling point of this range is that it comes with an Air Fry mode, which works best with the special tray that can be purchased separately. Our tests showed that the Air Fry mode worked beautifully.

GE JB655SKSS

There’s a reason why GE is the most popular brand for cooking appliances in the U.S.: It makes a solid product. The GE JB655SKSS is no exception. It does an excellent job at roasting and broiling, but it may not be the best bet for serious bakers. Our cakes came out pretty uneven.

On average, it takes the burners about 9-10 minutes to boil 6 cups of water, but the right-front burner was able to boil that amount of water in under 4 minutes, which is pretty speedy. Overall, this range is a good deal for what it does and consumers agree.

Haier QSS740BNTS

Editor’s Note: December 9, 2021

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a recall of the Haier QSS740BNTS electric range due to a tip-over hazard.
Affected customers should contact GE for repairs. You can find more information about the recall here and check your individual model and serial numbers here.

The Haier QSS740BNTS certainly has plenty of features that will delight tech nerds everywhere. That’s assuming you don’t mind using an app to cook, as many of this range’s functions (including temperature control and a timer) are only accessible via the SmartHQ app.

But serious home cooks might want to go with a higher-performing model. This range struggled to bake cookies evenly, cook pizza all the way through, and perfectly brown pork.

GE JS645SLSS

The GE JS645SLSS Electric Range is easy on the eyes and it faired well on most of our tests, baking cookies particularly evenly.

But this 30-inch slide-in range is missing convection, so you can forget about achieving air fryer-like crispiness. This function is super basic and there’s really no reason an oven shouldn’t have it, especially one that’s over $1,000.

Pros

• Sleek design

• Even baking

Cons

• No convection

• Slow boil times

How We Tested Electric Ranges

Not only do we perform repeatable, lab-based tests on ovens, ranges, and cooktops, but we also do real-world evaluations (think: cookie baking and the like). That means we can tell you which products will perform the best, will give you the most bang for your buck, or have the sleekest looks.

Burner Temperature

For products with burners, we measure the maximum and minimum temperature of each burner to help consumers identify which burners are ideal for simmering soup, and which burner can get hot enough to properly sear a steak. We conduct these tests by using a thermocouple to measure the temperatures of empty stainless steel bases.

A range or cooktop with multiple burners that can reach very high and/or very low temperatures will score well. If burners cannot reach very high or low temperatures—or if only one burner can do each task—scores will be lower.

Time To Boil Water

One of the most common tasks for a range or cooktop is to boil a pot of water. For each burner, we take an appropriately sized pot, and fill it up halfway with distilled water. Then, we position a thermometer horizontally in the middle of the pot, and vertically in the middle of the water column. We monitor the thermocouple and record the time it takes for the temperature of the water to reach 200°F.

Because the water volume is different for varying burner sizes, we score the boil test on the rate of boiling. Faster water boiling will result in higher scores, while slower water boiling will result in lower scores.

Time To Preheat

Using a stopwatch, we measure how long it takes for the electric oven to achieve a preheating temperature of 350°F. We stop the clock when the oven’s preheat indicator beeps.

Because no one wants to wait around forever, shorter preheating times result in higher scores, while longer preheating times result in lower scores.

How Evenly The Oven Bakes

Credit:
Reviewed / Julia MacDougall

We bake cookies in both standard bake and convection mode (if available) to see how evenly the oven can bake the cookies.

One happy side effect of testing ovens is that there are always extra cookies lying around. In addition to being delicious, cookies double as a cooking/baking proxy for other thin food items, such as brownies or vegetables.

We place 12 Pillsbury ready-to-bake sugar cookie chunks on an ungreased cookie sheet in a grid formation. After preheating the oven to 350°F for 15 minutes, we place the cookie sheet in the oven on the rack recommended by the manufacturer (or, if there is no recommendation, the middle rack) to bake for 15 minutes. We remove the cookies from the oven, and allow them to cool for 2 minutes.

After looking the cookies over, we determine how evenly baked they are, both within a single baking sheet (regular baking mode and second oven baking mode) and between multiple baking sheets (convection bake mode). Because convection is generally a more efficient way of cooking or baking something, it is important that the multiple food items on different racks be cooked or baked to the same degree.

For all of our cookie tests, the more evenly baked the cookies are, the higher the score will be. If the product has a second oven and/or convection capabilities, then the cookie scores for those tests and the main oven test are weighted and combined to arrive at a final cookie score. This way, products with just a single, conventional oven are not penalized for their lack of a second oven or convection capabilities.

Overall Experience

While we go to great lengths to test the cooking/baking abilities of these cooking appliances, we also incorporate more subjective information into our overall assessment.

For example, how easily can the cooktop surface accommodate multiple pots and pans? Is there a spacious storage drawer? How easy is it to understand the control panel? We answer all of these questions and more to determine if there are any major drawbacks to the product that might not make it a good fit for most households.

What You Should Know Before Buying An Electric Range

What Is The Difference Between Convection And True Convection?

True Convection is an oven setting that includes installing an extra heating element and a fan in the oven. By adding an additional heating unit and fan that circulates the hot air, True Convection is great for ensuring that cookies or cakes baked on different racks will bake through at the same rate, rather than the cookies closest to the bottom heat source cooking faster than those on the rack higher up.

If you don’t see mention of “True Convection” or “European Convection”, but do see the word “convection” in a range’s specs, it means that the unit lacks an additional heating element, but does have a fan to circulate the hot air. While you don’t get the full baking and cooking effect that you would with True Convection, the added heat circulation can cook or bake food more evenly than it would without a fan.

There are also ranges out there that do not offer convection options at all; these ovens aren’t bad, it will just take more time to cook and bake food all the way through. If you’re a frequent baker or cook, convection can be a great time saver, but your dinners won’t suffer unduly without it.

What Is The Difference Between Slide-in And Freestanding Ranges?

In a nutshell, slide-in ranges are meant to sit flush with your countertops, while freestanding ranges are meant to sit on top of any surface.

While slotting in and sitting on top of your countertop may seem similar, the main differences between the two involve finish and ease of cleaning. Because freestanding ranges are visible from all angles, they have more finished sides; slide-in ranges are meant to have their sides hidden by the cabinetry, so the finish typically isn’t as pretty on the sides.

Additionally, because slide-in ranges sit flush with your countertop, they’re a bit easier to clean because they do not have a large lip around the edge. Freestanding ranges often have larger lips around the edge of the cooktop to corral any crumbs that would otherwise decorate your floor. Freestanding ranges also typically have a back-mounted control panel for the same reason.

While slide-in ranges will do fine in a freestanding arrangement, the reverse is less true. If your current cooking setup has the range sitting in a cabinet or countertop cutout, we recommend replacing that range with another slide-in range. Conversely, if your range stands alone in your kitchen, we’d recommend replacing it with another freestanding range to cut down on food debris spilling everywhere.

Should I Get A Front-mounted Control Panel Or Back-mounted Control Panel?

As we mentioned earlier, most freestanding ranges have back-mounted controls, but some slide-in ranges do as well.

Both arrangements have pros and cons; on the one hand, having back-mounted controls means you may have to reach over hot food to adjust the oven temperature, the controls are also far enough away that you would have difficulty hitting something on the control panel by accident.

On the other hand, front-mounted controls are easier to reach, but that convenience can turn against you if you brush up against a knob accidentally. Consider the ergonomics of using the range when it comes to picking a front- or back-mounted control panel.

How Many Burners Do I Need?

Depending on how much time you spend in the kitchen, it might be worth it to investigate in some extra options for your range. When it comes to the cooktop, anything above the standard four-burner setup is a bonus. Some ranges can have five, or even six burners; however, the more burners a range has, the more difficult it becomes to fit large pieces of cookware, such as a spaghetti pot and a frying pan, on their respective burners at the same time.

Sometimes, those extra burners are specialty burners are designed to accommodate special cookware such as a griddle or a wok; other burners are bridge burners that are meant to keep food warm without continuing to cook it.

Another possibility is to have a dual-ring burner, or a burner that includes a stronger heat source wrapped around a weaker heat source. That way, on a single burner, you can choose to use just the smaller heat source for lower temperatures, but you can add the stronger heat source if you need higher temperatures.

What Oven Features Do I Need?

As for extra oven features, they can include everything from accessories like special oven racks or a temperature probe to special cooking features.

That can include the aforementioned convection settings, fast preheat (which expedites the preheating process), bread proofing (where the oven settings are customized to activate yeast and make bread rise), steam cooking (where you pour water into a reservoir and gently cook something with the resulting steam), air fry mode (where you can expeditiously fry frozen and fresh foods, similar to an air fryer) and many more.

Gulbene, O. Robot vacuums for carpet: The 5 Best Robot Vacuums For Carpet – Summer 2023: Reviews Опубликовано: October 1, 2023 в 9:03 pm Автор: alexxlab Категории: Miscellaneous The 5 Best Robot Vacuums For Carpet – Summer 2023: Reviews Table of Contents Intro Best Vacuum Best Upper Mid-Range Best Mid-Range Best Budget Best Multi-Surface Notable Mentions Recent Updates All Reviews Discussions Updated May 03, 2023 at 08:58 am By Evan Jakab When you’re juggling work, family, or other priorities, cleaning can be the last thing on your mind. However, you can’t ignore the mess piling up on your rugs or carpet forever, especially since it can already be difficult to remove debris from high-pile textiles. While a traditional upright or canister vacuum requires your time and energy, a robot vacuum can automate the cleaning process and even operate when you’re not at home, which can be a huge time-saver. Although many robot vacuums struggle to move on carpet, there are a few that can do a decent job. We’ve tested over 50 robot vacuums, and below are our recommendations for the best robot vacuums for carpet you can buy. These picks are selected not only based on their performance but also their feature set, design, and price. Check out our recommendations for the best robot vacuums, the best robotic vacuum for hardwood floors, and the best robot vacuums for pet hair. If you’re looking for a different type of vacuum for carpets, check out the best vacuums for carpets. Best Robot Vacuum For Carpet Ecovacs DEEBOT OZMO T8 AIVI Searching Finding Store Searching Finding Store Bare Floor 7.7 Low-Pile Carpet 7.3 High-Pile Carpet 7. 2 Pets 5.5 Stairs 6.0 Cars 4.9 Workshop 4.6 Vacuum Type Robot Bagless Yes Cordless Yes Anti-Allergy Filter (HEPA) No Wet Compatible Mopping Only See all our test results The Ecovacs DEEBOT OZMO T8 AIVI is the best robot vacuum for carpets we’ve tested. This high-end model has a dual-spectrum mapping system, with a LIDAR sensor for precise room mapping and a front-mounted camera that lets it see and avoid small obstacles like shoes or pet waste that would otherwise be missed by its LIDAR sensor. Its surface detection system enables it to automatically increase suction on carpets or avoid them when using its mopping functionality. It delivers okay performance on low-pile carpet and does a very good job of handling solid debris and pet hair on high-pile carpet. The vacuum packs an impressive array of automation capabilities too. You can schedule cleaning sessions for specific rooms, set up virtual boundary lines and no-go zones, and even set specific cleaning settings for individual areas. The vacuum can run for over two hours in its most potent suction mode, giving it more than enough time to clean large carpeted areas, though it takes quite a while to recharge. If that’s a concern, the iRobot Roomba S9 is a great alternative and, within iRobot’s product lineup, the best Roomba for carpet we’ve tested. It also has fewer parts that need cleaning and has a larger dustbin that won’t need emptying as often. It lacks the Ecovacs’ real-time hazard avoidance capability and isn’t quite as effective at handling debris on high-pile carpet.

Compared to the Ecovacs DEEBOT OZMO T8 AIVI, it doesn’t have a secondary set of camera sensors to spot and identify obstacles in real-time. That said, provided you buy it without its self-emptying station, it’s also considerably cheaper and still delivers relatively good performance on carpeted floors, though it still struggles with fine material embedded deep within rug fibers. While build quality feels pretty sturdy overall, it isn’t the best option if you suffer from allergies, as fine particles can escape from panel gaps around its top cover. Like most of Roborock’s other robot vacuums, it has a LIDAR sensor that allows for quick and precise room mapping. It’s capable of multi-floor mapping, and its ‘Smart Recognition’ feature lets it automatically determine which of its saved maps it’s currently working in. You can use the Mi Home companion app to set up virtual boundary lines, label different areas, and schedule cleaning sessions for specific rooms. You can also view its coverage map in 2D or 3D.

While it has a less developed suite of in-app features than the Roborock Q5 and lacks the Ecovacs DEEBOT OZMO T8 AIVI’s dual sensor navigation and hazard-avoidance system, it has a few features that are rare for a vacuum in this price bracket. Most notable is its self-emptying function, which allows it to transfer debris from its internal dustbin into an external dustbin mounted to its charging dock, reducing hands-on maintenance requirements. While it doesn’t have LIDAR mapping, its optical sensors still generate a permanent map of your home, so you can set up virtual boundary lines or direct the vacuum to clean specific rooms within your home. Its surface detection system also allows it to automatically increase its suction power to its most powerful setting when it’s on carpet. It can easily climb onto high-pile rugs and delivers good overall performance on carpeting.

This robot vacuum doesn’t have the yeedi vac station’s self-emptying capability. Thankfully, it’s even cheaper, feels better built, and still does a good job of cleaning up debris on carpet. Unlike the yeedi, it also has a LIDAR mapping sensor that generates a precise map of its coverage area, so you can set up virtual boundary lines the vacuum won’t cross using the vacuum’s companion app. Unfortunately, it can occasionally get stuck around obstructions like rug tassels or electrical cords, in part due to its body’s squared-off shape. This vacuum can recharge in under 100 minutes, which is very fast for a robot vacuum. However, it can run out of charge in as little as 40 minutes when used in its most powerful ‘Turbo’ suction mode, which can be necessary for cleaning denser carpeting, so it won’t be your first choice when cleaning extensive carpeted areas. Check out the Roborock E4 if you want an alternative with a longer runtime, but note that it has a less advanced navigation system that doesn’t store a permanent map of its coverage area. You can’t set up virtual boundary markers or direct it to clean specific rooms in your home.

While it offers okay overall performance on carpets, it doesn’t do as well as the Ecovacs DEEBOT OZMO T8 AIVI. Thankfully, it’s a fantastic option for cleaning surfaces like hardwood or tile. One of the main advantages it carries over the Ecovacs is its impressively effective ultrasonic mopping capability, which uses vibrating pads to scrub away dried-on debris instead of a purely passive system. Its other headlining feature is the combined LIDAR and optical navigation system, which functions like the Ecovacs and allows it to map out its coverage area with LIDAR and spot and avoid obstacles in real-time. It’s compatible with Roborock’s Empty Wash Fill Dock, which empties its dustbin, washes its mop pads, and refills the onboard water tank. However, this base station is expensive and pushes this vacuum into an even higher price bracket. Although it has a high-efficiency E11 filter, it does a terrible job of sealing in fine allergens like pet dander while cleaning, which can be ejected straight out of its exhaust. See our review Notable Mentions eufy RoboVac X8: The eufy RoboVac X8 is a robot vacuum that delivers decent performance on high-pile carpet and incurs relatively low recurring costs. However, unlike the yeedi vac station, there’s no self-emptying base station. See our review Shark AI Ultra Robot [AV2501AE, AV2501S, AV2511AE, RV2502AE]: The Shark AI Ultra Robot is a self-emptying robot vacuum with a LIDAR sensor. It delivers good overall performance on carpeted surfaces but has a very clunky companion app, making for a less user-friendly experience than the Roborock Q5. See our review yeedi K650: The yeedi K650 is an entry-level robot vacuum that does reasonably well on carpets. However, it has a basic navigation system and can easily get stuck on obstructions compared to the Neato D8. Its availability is also quite limited. See our review Roborock S7: The Roborock S7 is a solid alternative to the Roborock S7 MaxV if you don’t want to spend as much and don’t require the MaxV’s hazard-avoidance capability. It has a less powerful suction motor and delivers inferior deep cleaning performance.

Overview Jump to Details Jump to Details Jump to Details Jump to Details Jump to Details See 1 More > Life > House & Home Nearly any robot vacuum can sufficiently clear a hard floor of long hairs, pet fur, crumbs, and other debris. Some are more meticulous than others, obviously, but investing in a robot vac is generally a no-brainer in homes that are all hardwood, tile, or laminate. But if your home is mostly carpeted or covered in rugs, fewer robot vacuums can do the job (almost) as acceptably as a human wielding a Dyson might. Buying the cheapest one 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 covered in pet hair because it couldn’t muster the strength to pry fur from the carpet. Here are the best robot vacuums that work well on carpet 2023: MORE: Best Robot Vacuums Pet Hair Best Robot Vacuum And Mop Best Self Emptying Robot Vacuums All Best Products Read our full review of the Roomba s9+. Why we picked this: In 2021, the Roomba j7+ overthrew the s9+ as the latest and greatest from iRobot. But the s9+ still does one thing better: clean thick carpets. iRobot’s D-shaped botvac reaches deep into carpets with 40 times the suction of 600 Series Roombas (the j7+ offers 10 times the suction). After skirting the walls and corners with its flat edge, the s9+ makes a lot of passes across a room to ensure thorough cleaning. Once it takes a trip around your home and internalizes the layout, you can send it to specific rooms or specific carpeted areas that need extra attention. It also learns the more you use it, offering customized cleaning plans through the app. Who it’s for: The Roomba s9+ is the robot vac to trust on fully- or almost-fully carpeted floors, especially those that one or more pets shed all over. Its powerful suction and dual roller brushes dig deeper into fluffy carpet fibers where many other robot vacuums can only provide a surface-level clean. Buying Options The Good The Bad Details Read our full review of the Roborock S7+. Why we picked this: Between strong suction, LiDAR, and mopping that doesn’t soak carpets, the Roborock S7 is already major for folks dealing with both carpet and hard floors. With its self-empty dock (a wise bundle for people with shedding pets), the S7+ is triple threat under $1,000. You won’t have to worry about getting your carpet or rugs wet — VibraRise tech automatically lifts the mop and adjusts suction power if carpet is sensed Roborock’s obstacle recognition can’t detect cords or pet poop. However, you shouldn’t have to babysit it otherwise. The S7+ can be trusted to find your selected zones, decipher between floor type, and get back to its dock (though its three-hour battery life should rarely die on you). Who it’s for: We recommend the Roborock S7 for people who’d prefer the water stains and footprints on their tile to be treated to a deeper clean than just the light wiping of a cloth. Buying Options The Good The Bad Details Why we picked this: We would say that the newest Roomba goes where no Roomba has gone before, but it’s more about where it doesn’t go. The j7+ uses a new PrecisionVision Navigation camera that helps it to avoid small obstacles that are typically blind spots, like cords and pet waste. The j7+ isn’t the vacuum for high-pile carpets though. But its performance on low-pile (and hard floors) is reliable, especially with Dirt Detection that triggers multiple passes across serious messes. Long hair doesn’t tangle as easily in its long rubber brush rolls. It empties into a more compact auto-empty dock without sacrificing the 60-day capacity.  Who it’s for: The Roomba Combo j7+ is the splurge for folks who don’t mind paying a little extra for a robot vacuum that doesn’t require babysitting. That could mean skipping the pre-cleaning scan for phone chargers on the floor, feeling confident that your vac won’t smear your pet’s accident across the living room, or trusting that the mop won’t dampen floors that shouldn’t be wet. Buying Options The Good The Bad Details Why we picked this: Shark has been a player in the robot vacuum game forever, but didn’t have a model that particularly stood out — until winter of 2022, that is. The latest Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1 rocks improvements galore over several predecessors, adding a mop to its smartest model (plus automatic emptying, if you choose to grab the dock) without straying too far from the $300 to $600 range. The new Matrix Clean system prompts the vac to takes several passes to ensure that no spots are missed. During regular dry vacuuming, it delivers 30% better carpet cleaning (compared to the older RV Shark models) by digging deeper into carpet and cleaning in a crosshatch pattern to loosen and grab debris from multiple angles. When a corner is detected by “Matrix” also applies to the AI Ultra’s mopping, which vibrates 100 times per minute to scrub stains. Who it’s for: If you typically take the “and one for good measure” approach when it comes to cleaning, you’ll appreciate the extra effort the newest Shark vacuum puts in on dirty spots, even if it has already gone over them once. Buying Options The Good The Bad Details Why we picked this: Autonomous wet and dry cleaning plus auto-emptying plus room mapping is typically a pricey checklist, running you at least $600 if you’re Roborock or Shark — or more if you’re iRobot. Yeedi, a smaller brand that specializes in affordable robot vacuums, offers that iconic trio of robotic cleaning features in its Yeedi Vac Station for as low as $300 on sale. 3,000 Pa of suction is a bold claim that’d rival the most powerful Roomba, but this Yeedi really does put in more work than you’d expect at this price point. Its performance on flat to medium pile is satisfactory, including with long hairs — we just wouldn’t trust it to make it over a fluffy rug alive. Who it’s for: This packed budget model is a stellar find for folks who would like to stretch no more than $300 or $400 to cover the triple threat that is room mapping, mopping, and automatic emptying. With patience for the shaky navigation and the acceptance of clearing obstacles off the floor before starting a cleaning, the Yeedi Vac Station could be a game changer. Buying Options The Good The Bad Details Why we picked this: The Wyze Robot Vacuum and its raised LiDAR scanner have a similar vibe to one of our pricier faves, the Roborock S7. The mere presence of that smart mapping tower is more than most Roombas can say. This is what unlocks the ability to send the robot vacuum to specific rooms and draw virtual boundaries — one of the most coveted features in the market as of late. This Wyze vac doesn’t automatically crank suction on carpet, but its high power mode in general proves to be quite successful on light debris like hair and heavy debris like cereal on low and medium pile. Who it’s for: The lone Wyze robot vacuum will make life easier for those on a budget who prioritize the cleaning of specific rooms over suction-specific bells and whistles. If you’ve been burned by the crappy navigation tactics of a cheap robot vacuum in the past, the Wyze robot vacuum is a rare LiDAR-assisted model that doesn’t cost a lot. Buying Options The Good The Bad Details Frequently Asked Questions Any robot vacuum is unlikely to ruin your carpet. However, loose carpet strings and rugs with fringed ends are something to look out for. Bumbling bots with less accurate object sensors may gobble these right up and get stuck on them, potentially damaging your floor coverings. Folks who love a good frilly rug should consider a robot vacuum that follows virtual boundaries through smart mapping (rather than hit-or-miss physical no-go strips). Folks in homes with combination flooring may be considering a hybrid model. Note that many budget robot vacuums do offer mopping now — but they could accidentally mop your carpets as well. To ensure that your carpets don’t get soggy, opt for a hybrid that cuts the water flow or lifts the mopping pad when soft floors are sensed. Carpets and rugs are where pet hair, crumbs, and dust go to die, so beefy (yet methodical) suction is key for homes with a lot of stubborn floor coverings. As a general note, upright vacuum cleaners typically have more suction power than compact robot vacs. But if you’d still prefer to outsource the job, look for a robot vacuum with at least 2,000 Pa in suction to ensure that the carpet fibers are being efficiently combed. Most modern vacuums have a boost mode that automatically kicks in when the vacuum senses carpet. The same sensors should be smart enough to facilitate a smooth transition to dark hardwood floors and *not* mistake them for a cliff. Automatic emptying is huge for dealing with all of the gunk that should build up quickly if your robot vacuum is doing its job on your carpet. It’s especially clutch for large homes or those with pets that inherently need more cleanup, requiring more frequent dust bin emptying. Rather than you having to manually dump the bin into the garbage and wrestle wrapped hairs with your bare fingers, a self-emptying vacuum empties itself into a larger dustbin in its charging dock after each cleaning session. These larger bins can typically hold weeks of dirt without needing to be emptied themselves. Some rooms need to be tended to more often than others. A robot vacuum with LiDAR creates an internal map of your home’s layout and can be sent to specific rooms or zones in the house, like the carpeted living room where the pets hang out or to the entryway doormat that’s covered in dirt. Both are good, but much like the Instant Pot vs. Ninja Foodi debate, a general comparison between the two brands doesn’t work so well. Shark’s whole lineup is generally more budget-friendly than its most direct counterpart from Roomba, offering a more affordable path to coveted features like mopping and smart room mapping. However, in between iRobot’s low-end and high-end robovacs lies a much wider range of models to choose from and features that can be tailored to your needs. Shark’s cheapest self-emptier can frequently be found on sale for less than $250, while Roomba’s cheapest self-emptier typically sits near the $300 mark on sale. Shark’s most expensive is $649.99 compared to the most expensive Roomba at $1,099.99, with a few hundred dollars’ worth of wiggle room if either is on sale. But iRobot and Shark are hardly the only players in this group chat — Roborock, Eufy, and Yeedi pose serious competition with similarly-impressive performance and diverse pricing.

How to choose a robotic carpet cleaner? tips Here’s how to choose the right robotic carpet cleaner! MYTH #1 Robot vacuums are not good for cleaning carpets. Ekaterina: Is it true that robotic vacuum cleaners are bad at cleaning carpets? Okami: It is generally accepted that the robot vacuum cleaner is not suitable for dry and wet cleaning of carpets. And with regard to a long pile (from 3 cm), this statement is absolutely correct – not a single automatic assistant on the market is physically able to overcome such an obstacle. However, taking into account the fact that the average pile length is 0.5–1.5 cm, there are devices that can handle carpets. The technique well cleans surfaces from dust, debris and pet hair, reduces the time to put the premises in order. Basic Selection Criteria In order for the machine you choose to work effectively for flawless short and medium pile flooring, make sure it meets the basic markers on our checklist. The presence of a turbo brush Devices with suction modules and side brushes, as testing shows, are not very effective in terms of pile. You will need a device with a central turbo brush or its alternative – two silicone or rubber rollers. Climbing height A robot vacuum cleaner with a thin body and small wheels is not able to climb floors with a pile of more than 1 cm. Look for household appliances that can cope with obstacles from 1.5 cm high. show models with 2 cm.0020 High carpets require a vacuum cleaner with a large battery (from 2000 mAh). Units with lower performance will consume the entire supply of energy even in the first minutes of cleaning, which means that cleaning the house will be delayed. The most practical are lithium-ion batteries. Optimum dust bin capacity The bin capacity of carpet cleaner models can be standard. An average value of 0.6-0.7 liters is enough. Robot vacuum cleaner dimensions In order to clean not only exposed surfaces, but also carpet areas under cabinets, the robot vacuum cleaner must have an average height (10 cm). Wheel diameter is also important. If this parameter is less than 6.5 cm, the equipment will not be able to enter the surface. Robot vacuum cleaner power The greater the suction power, the more efficient the appliance can clean. High pile carpets require machines with a suction power above 45 watts. If the manufacturer does not indicate this parameter in the technical specifications, pay attention to the possibility of automatic power adjustment when working with different coatings. When switching to super power mode, the vacuum cleaner is 5 times more efficient, but this affects battery consumption: battery life is also reduced five times. Which configuration should you choose? The robotic carpet cleaner must be equipped with a turbo brush, a large dust container, a battery recharge station and filters. Useful will be options such as: remote control; charger adapter; replacement nozzles and brushes; virtual wall; air and HEPA filters; side brushes; UV lamp. Check that you have the instructions in Russian and the completed warranty card. It is also desirable that the selected equipment can be repaired at a service center. The price of automatic devices is high, so it is unprofitable to replace them at the first breakdown. Rating of Okami and Panda robot vacuum cleaners for carpet cleaning Okami U100 The premium robot vacuum cleaner is suitable for cleaning not only hard surfaces, but also carpets. Thanks to the presence of a petal-bristled turbo brush and high suction power, Okami U100 is an indispensable assistant in the house of every housewife. A laser rangefinder, TOF sensor, soft touch and drop sensors, and a high-precision gyroscope allow Okami U100 to perfectly navigate in space, effectively fighting any type of pollution. The V-Shape 3.0 turbo brush will quickly clean the hair and fur of animals, and the modern navigation system will help you not to miss uncleaned areas in your apartment! Panda EVO A modern robot vacuum cleaner with high-quality SLAM navigation that allows you to correctly navigate in space, a wet cleaning function and the ability to control it from your smartphone. Suction power up to 2150 Pa is ideal for cleaning carpets. Okami U90 The model is designed for dry and wet cleaning not only parquet, tiles, laminate, but also carpets. The V-Shape 3.0 turbo brush, Vision 3.0 video camera, and NIDEC motor are what you need in the fight against debris and pollution. Does the robot vacuum cleaner drive on carpets and rugs? How does a robot vacuum cleaner clean carpets? Are all models suitable for carpets? What kind of carpets can the Robot Vacuum Cleaner handle? Polaris Carpet Cleaning Technologies Sweeping the floor, collecting dust and debris is no problem for the robot vacuum cleaner, but will it cope with carpets? There are several myths about this: that the robot vacuum cleaner cannot drive on the carpet, does not clean it, gets stuck on it. In our article, we figure out whether a robot vacuum cleaner can actually clean carpets, what functions it has for this, and how well it cleans such coatings. Are all models suitable for carpets? All robotic vacuum cleaners can be divided into two large groups: dry-only or wet-and-dry. It is believed that models with a wet cleaning function for carpets or rugs are not suitable because they will wet the pile and only “carry” dirt. This is wrong. On all Polaris models, the microfibre wet mop is easily removable. This allows carpets to be vacuumed automatically without the risk of getting them wet: If only dry vacuuming is required, simply remove the attachment with the water container. If wet cleaning is also required, divide the work cycle into two parts. Have the robot vacuum and mop hard floors first. When he is done, you can remove the wet nozzle and send him to clean the carpets. On some models, you can leave the nozzle on and adjust the water flow through the app so that the microfiber stays dry when the vacuum cleaner travels over carpets. In order for the Robot Cleaner to perform well on long or thick piles, the following features are important: “passability” of the selected model; motor power; central brush type. If the house has a lot of carpets, it is better to buy a device with a power reserve, with a good battery. The design of the wheels affects whether it can drive on carpets and move along them (their surface should not be smooth). Finally, the center broom should have a long enough stiff bristle to cope with the cleaning of the floor. Even for the most powerful, “passable” models, there are limitations. The robot vacuum cleaner is not suitable for cleaning carpets with very long, rope or tangled pile. If the length of the pile is more than 3-4 cm, the device will not be able to drive on it and vacuum it. What types of carpets can the robot vacuum clean? The robot vacuum cleaner is suitable for cleaning almost all carpets: Loop pile carpets, single or multi-level. With sufficient density, the height of the pile can be almost any; carpet with any pile. If it is laid with joints, the seams must be tight, fixed; carpets with pile up to 2-3 cm, including velor, saxony, short shaggy; frieze (rope, twisted pile, provided that it is dense and the length does not exceed 2-3 cm). The shorter and denser the pile, the better it will be cleaned by the vacuum cleaner. According to reviews, such devices are great for carpets, carpets, carpets with short pile. Polaris Carpet Cleaning Technologies Polaris robot vacuum cleaners use several technologies to help them not only drive on carpets or carpets, but also clean them well: specially designed turbo brush; shock-absorbing wheels; powerful motor for efficient suction; HEPA filter; convenient power adjustment. Nearly all Polaris robot vacuum cleaners can be operated in different modes. If you need to vacuum carpets or rugs, we advise you to choose a higher suction power, and then the cleaning will be of high quality. An exception is loose small rugs with a short pile (for example, doormats). With high power, the robot vacuum cleaner can simply take them away. The turbo brush is installed in the central part of the robot vacuum cleaner.

Toy – Transformers Wiki It’s still like this for us. In contrast to most science fiction franchises, toys are the core of the Transformers brand, its original reason for being. Most Transformers fiction exists to showcase, spotlight, promote, and, in general, sell toys. Merchandise and other non-transforming “artifacts” also generally exist in support of the toy lines. Transformers toys are generally created and marketed as part of a particular “franchise” (i. e. Beast Wars, Armada, the retroactively-named Generation 1 etc.), a whole merchandising family with associated characters and fiction. However, this article deals with the physical toys themselves, separate from their representation as fictional characters. Since the brand debuted in 1984, innumerable Transformer toys have been designed, manufactured and marketed. An exact count is difficult due to the varied nature of the toys (for example, does a Headmaster robot and its partner mini-figure count as one Transformer or two? What about minor retools, variants and giftsets?). But even conservative estimates by collectors tend to run into the low thousands.

Design concepts for an unproduced Classics Deluxe class Cosmos. Most Transformers are designed as a joint venture between Hasbro in America, and TakaraTomy (previously Takara) in Japan. Hasbro typically provides concepts and artistic direction, while Takara(Tomy) handles the engineering tasks of turning the designs into working physical objects. This division of labor is not cut-and-dried, however; the process involves a great deal of back-and-forth communication between the two companies, with staff members from both working in close conjunction and corresponding on a daily basis. The teams travel overseas several times a year to meet in person, alternating between Japan and Rhode Island. The relationship has grown closer and more intense over the years; the two companies now plan their futures together, compromising along the way to meet the differing requirements of their target markets; this includes not only toy designs, but associated storylines as well.[1] The toy design process begins with a range of character types and possible alternate modes. In the days of Beast Wars, for example, a range of about 100 animal forms was considered.[2] Nearly all Transformers toys have a minimum of two forms, most commonly a humanoid “robot” form and an alternate mode. This means that even a fairly simple Transformer is much more complex than the typical action figure. Multiple alternate modes, articulation, and complex transformations can multiply this many times over. TakaraTomy works out the transformation schemes; as of 2002, Takara still did this on paper. Hasbro would then overlay their detailing designs on the drawings. The entire process of taking a toy from concept to finished, mass-produced product takes approximately one year.[3] Because of their worldwide marketing, Transformers must be designed to meet many widely-varying safety laws. This often results in certain limitations, and even changes being made before toys are sold in the highly litigious United States of America compared to their Japanese releases.

The vast majority are humanoid in their robot mode, and thus require a head, (at least) two arms, two legs and a torso. The complexity of Transformers toys has grown over time, making several leaps forward during the course of Generation 2 and Beast Wars, and then again during the Movie line. G2 introduced complex posability and the notion of toys that could store or hold all of their accessories in both modes; Beast Wars made these concepts universal, and featured a number of toys with extremely complicated transformations and a maximum number of ball joints, providing a huge range of articulation. Other toy lines would revisit these levels of complexity, particularly the 2001 Robots in Disguise and Alternators lines.

The production process is complex and expensive. Before mass production can begin, a hard-copy prototype must be created. Steel-cut molds can then be made; this is by far the most costly part of the process. Once the molds are cut, one or more test shots are typically created, usually in random colors. If the molds are ready, mass production commences. The expense of cutting molds is the main reason that retools and recolors are such common phenomena in Transformers. Redecos allow Hasbro and TakaraTomy to capture a greater return on their considerable investment. To this day, the number of each Transformers toy produced and distributed at standard retail (as opposed to exclusives) remains a closely-guarded secret.

The Takara version uses die-cast metal for added heft, while the Hasbro iteration is all-plastic for added being-able-to-stand-up. The vast majority of the toys are made of plastic, held together with metal screws and pins, along with the occasional adhesive. The plastics used in Transformer construction have generally increased in flexibility and durability over the years, allowing toys to survive child-inflicted trauma that would have destroyed early Generation 1 toys. Die-cast, used as an accessory material from 1984 to 1986, has been all but abandoned due to its excessive cost, shipping weight and design limitations, though it has reappeared in the fan-oriented Binaltech, Titanium Series, and Masterpiece sublines.

The gimmicks: micro-size, ability to “Powerlinx” with larger toys, triple-changing, being awesome. As if Transformers weren’t complicated enough, Hasbro has seen fit to revitalize and enhance the line constantly with numerous special features, commonly referred to in the fandom as gimmicks. These may range from things as simple as a common decorative theme (such as vacuum metalizing on the Transmetal toys) to complex mechanisms that drive the entire design of a toy. Gimmicks have been a part of Transformers from Day 1 and continue to provide the line with diversity and interest today.

Most Transformers are cast in a small number of plastic colors. To help bring them to life, paint, tampographs, and stickers are commonly used to provide additional color. Stickers were common during the days of Generation 1, but have mostly dropped out of use due to changing aesthetic tastes and the feasibility of more complex paint operations. Today, faction symbols are typically applied via tampograph, with most other details brought out by paint operations.

This package cross-sell presents toys in color schemes that were never mass-produced. Oops! As awesome as the toys themselves may be, they tend to sell better when they represent fictional characters. The marketing engine that promotes the toys is organized into franchises, each encompassing a range of related toys with a storyline built around them. A full-blown, flagship franchise typically features an animated cartoon, and often a comic book series as well. These fictional portrayals may also be a source of considerable income for Hasbro/TakaraTomy, but ultimately they exist to sell toys. The toy packaging also commonly supports the marketing effort, with bios and package art of the characters, as well as cross-sell ads promoting other toys currently available. Inside the packaging, catalogs and pack-in material further market other toys.

It’s elegant, sleek, attractive, and lasts for about five seconds. Some toys, like Tigertrack, are exclusive to certain markets. Once the toys are manufactured and packaged, they are shipped from their place of birth in Asia to America. As of 1998, their first destination is a Seattle distribution warehouse. From there, they proceed to the distribution centers for the various chain stores that sell the toys at retail; at that point, control of distribution is out of Hasbro’s hands. On average, it takes six to eight weeks from the time the toys ship from Hasbro to their appearance on retail shelves.[2] Toy retailers do their best to predict what toys will and won’t sell, and order accordingly; however, it is an imperfect process, and slow sellers in one wave of toys can compel a retailer to order fewer toys from the following waves. Retailers are particularly reluctant to order large numbers from the tail-end of a toy line.[1] Today, the largest distributors of Transformer toys in America are Walmart and Target, though the toys can also be found at many other stores such as Meijer, Kmart, Kohl’s, and Walgreens, as well as various regional grocery and drug store chains.

In Transformers fandom, “secondary market” refers to the buying and selling of used toys. The original, stereotypical secondary market was the old-fashioned garage sale—you know, the one where your mom sold all your G1 toys for ten bucks while you were off in college. The secondary market among fans began with internet auctions, primarily on alt. toys.transformers in the early 1990s. By the late ’90s, ATT’s primacy as a marketplace had been supplanted by eBay and various fan-run sites. Buyers and sellers also found a bonanza of opportunities at BotCon, with thousands of toys changing hands over the course of a weekend. Like any economic market, the secondary market has a life of its own. Older toys can be worth hundreds of dollars, depending on their condition, rarity, and popularity, or they may be worth next to nothing. Most toys from Beast Wars and later franchises tend to be of comparatively lower value, as many adult fans were buying the toys when they were at retail, and have since kept them in pristine or even unopened condition. Related articles: alt.toys.transformers eBay Fandom Mint in sealed box Toy scalping Toy swapping Toy aging Split open and melt. Transformer toys are, to put it bluntly, not meant to last forever. They are marketed to a fleeting and transitory age group, with the notion that if they survive a few years, their work is done. Thus collectors who have retained their toys for decades can find some disturbing surprises as their toys age, regardless of how carefully the toys have been stored. Among the most common problems are: plastic discoloration — see Photodegradation cracking of rubber tires and the rubber tubing on G1 Shockwave. liquidy deterioration of softer rubbery plastics, such as the Pretender Monsters’ rubber Pretender shells, the nosecone on G1 Cyclonus, and the tank treads on Revenge of the Fallen Bludgeon chrome flaking, a problem common on the Transmetal toys — see Vacuum metallizing. embrittlement of poorly-mixed plastics that can cause a toy to disintegrate — see Gold Plastic Syndrome. damaged stickers acid damage from keeping batteries inside them too long; this is not a flaw unique to toys, but owners of older figures with electronics should still keep it in mind Toys and this site It’s a toy, sure; but is it a toy toy? In the “toy” sense of the word? Articles on TFWiki. net classify a Transformers product as either a “toy” or “merchandise”. For our purposes, a Transformers toy is a scaled-down depiction of a character as it would exist in its fictional universe, with the details and features of the toy meant to represent that fictional character as closely as possible. This excludes many products that do not depict in-story versions of characters. For example, the Robot Powered Machines from the Revenge of the Fallen toyline are small cars with a representation of their robot mode molded into the bottom of the vehicle. It is not meant to be a toy version of a fictional character that also has their robot mode on the bottom of their vehicle; within the story, there is no character that looks like this. Such toys are listed as “merchandise” for the purposes of the wiki. Non-transformable Transformer representations (i.e. Super Collection Figures, Power Bots, Robot Heroes, R.E.D., ULTIMATES!, Kuro Kara Kuri, and many others) are more of a grey area, especially since becoming far more abundant after 2015 or so. In nearly all cases, these items do not depict versions of a character that cannot transform; they do not match a fictional portrayal. Therefore TFWiki.net categorizes such items as “merchandise” instead of “toys.” The main exceptions to this system – the types of non-transforming items that we do list as “toys” – are: Action Masters, non-transforming toys representing characters that in the fictional universe are supposed to be non-transforming. Non-transforming items packaged as accessories with transforming toys and meant to depict in-story interactions; for example, the many gun-mode inclusions of Megatron with Masterpiece toys so they can appear to hold him, or War for Cybertron Trilogy micro-figures that depict scale differences with larger characters. Beyond toys and toy-like merchandise, TFWiki.net has never seriously attempted to catalogue the far, faaaaarrrrrr larger spectrum of Transformers merchandise available, such as clothing and apparel, stationery and school supplies, foods, party goods, etc. At this point, it would probably not be possible for us, or anyone, to do so. Fiction The prohibitions on “host selling” in the U.S. Children’s Television Act means that Transformers toys cannot appear in Hasbro-controlled series. Comics and prose for print and internet are exempt, as are TakaraTomy-controlled media since no such laws exist in Japan. (As we will see, crafty cartoon writers found a way around this in the U.S.) Marvel Comics continuity Anthony Duranti had a toy Bumblebee. Power Struggle Beast Wars II cartoon Megastorm is seen playing with a Galvatron action figure (which he can’t transform on his own). Who Is the Leader!? Cybertron Shortround was an avid toy collector.

Robot vacuums for carpet: The 5 Best Robot Vacuums For Carpet – Summer 2023: Reviews Опубликовано: October 1, 2023 в 9:03 pm Автор: alexxlab Категории: Miscellaneous The 5 Best Robot Vacuums For Carpet – Summer 2023: Reviews Table of Contents Intro Best Vacuum Best Upper Mid-Range Best Mid-Range Best Budget Best Multi-Surface Notable Mentions Recent Updates All Reviews Discussions Updated May 03, 2023 at 08:58 am By Evan Jakab When you’re juggling work, family, or other priorities, cleaning can be the last thing on your mind. However, you can’t ignore the mess piling up on your rugs or carpet forever, especially since it can already be difficult to remove debris from high-pile textiles. While a traditional upright or canister vacuum requires your time and energy, a robot vacuum can automate the cleaning process and even operate when you’re not at home, which can be a huge time-saver. Although many robot vacuums struggle to move on carpet, there are a few that can do a decent job. We’ve tested over 50 robot vacuums, and below are our recommendations for the best robot vacuums for carpet you can buy. These picks are selected not only based on their performance but also their feature set, design, and price. Check out our recommendations for the best robot vacuums, the best robotic vacuum for hardwood floors, and the best robot vacuums for pet hair. If you’re looking for a different type of vacuum for carpets, check out the best vacuums for carpets. Best Robot Vacuum For Carpet Ecovacs DEEBOT OZMO T8 AIVI Searching Finding Store Searching Finding Store Bare Floor 7.7 Low-Pile Carpet 7.3 High-Pile Carpet 7. 2 Pets 5.5 Stairs 6.0 Cars 4.9 Workshop 4.6 Vacuum Type Robot Bagless Yes Cordless Yes Anti-Allergy Filter (HEPA) No Wet Compatible Mopping Only See all our test results The Ecovacs DEEBOT OZMO T8 AIVI is the best robot vacuum for carpets we’ve tested. This high-end model has a dual-spectrum mapping system, with a LIDAR sensor for precise room mapping and a front-mounted camera that lets it see and avoid small obstacles like shoes or pet waste that would otherwise be missed by its LIDAR sensor. Its surface detection system enables it to automatically increase suction on carpets or avoid them when using its mopping functionality. It delivers okay performance on low-pile carpet and does a very good job of handling solid debris and pet hair on high-pile carpet. The vacuum packs an impressive array of automation capabilities too. You can schedule cleaning sessions for specific rooms, set up virtual boundary lines and no-go zones, and even set specific cleaning settings for individual areas. The vacuum can run for over two hours in its most potent suction mode, giving it more than enough time to clean large carpeted areas, though it takes quite a while to recharge. If that’s a concern, the iRobot Roomba S9 is a great alternative and, within iRobot’s product lineup, the best Roomba for carpet we’ve tested. It also has fewer parts that need cleaning and has a larger dustbin that won’t need emptying as often. It lacks the Ecovacs’ real-time hazard avoidance capability and isn’t quite as effective at handling debris on high-pile carpet. See our review Best Upper Mid-Range Robot Vacuum For Carpet Roborock Q5 Searching Finding Store Searching Finding Store Bare Floor 7.8 Low-Pile Carpet 6.9 High-Pile Carpet 6.7 Pets 5.3 Stairs 5.9 Cars 4.7 Workshop 4.5 Vacuum Type Robot Bagless No Cordless Yes Anti-Allergy Filter (HEPA) No Wet Compatible No See all our test results Check out the Roborock Q5 if you want a robot vacuum for cleaning carpeting at an upper mid-range price point. Compared to the Ecovacs DEEBOT OZMO T8 AIVI, it doesn’t have a secondary set of camera sensors to spot and identify obstacles in real-time. That said, provided you buy it without its self-emptying station, it’s also considerably cheaper and still delivers relatively good performance on carpeted floors, though it still struggles with fine material embedded deep within rug fibers. While build quality feels pretty sturdy overall, it isn’t the best option if you suffer from allergies, as fine particles can escape from panel gaps around its top cover. Like most of Roborock’s other robot vacuums, it has a LIDAR sensor that allows for quick and precise room mapping. It’s capable of multi-floor mapping, and its ‘Smart Recognition’ feature lets it automatically determine which of its saved maps it’s currently working in. You can use the Mi Home companion app to set up virtual boundary lines, label different areas, and schedule cleaning sessions for specific rooms. You can also view its coverage map in 2D or 3D.

While it has a less developed suite of in-app features than the Roborock Q5 and lacks the Ecovacs DEEBOT OZMO T8 AIVI’s dual sensor navigation and hazard-avoidance system, it has a few features that are rare for a vacuum in this price bracket. Most notable is its self-emptying function, which allows it to transfer debris from its internal dustbin into an external dustbin mounted to its charging dock, reducing hands-on maintenance requirements. While it doesn’t have LIDAR mapping, its optical sensors still generate a permanent map of your home, so you can set up virtual boundary lines or direct the vacuum to clean specific rooms within your home. Its surface detection system also allows it to automatically increase its suction power to its most powerful setting when it’s on carpet. It can easily climb onto high-pile rugs and delivers good overall performance on carpeting.

This robot vacuum doesn’t have the yeedi vac station’s self-emptying capability. Thankfully, it’s even cheaper, feels better built, and still does a good job of cleaning up debris on carpet. Unlike the yeedi, it also has a LIDAR mapping sensor that generates a precise map of its coverage area, so you can set up virtual boundary lines the vacuum won’t cross using the vacuum’s companion app. Unfortunately, it can occasionally get stuck around obstructions like rug tassels or electrical cords, in part due to its body’s squared-off shape. This vacuum can recharge in under 100 minutes, which is very fast for a robot vacuum. However, it can run out of charge in as little as 40 minutes when used in its most powerful ‘Turbo’ suction mode, which can be necessary for cleaning denser carpeting, so it won’t be your first choice when cleaning extensive carpeted areas. Check out the Roborock E4 if you want an alternative with a longer runtime, but note that it has a less advanced navigation system that doesn’t store a permanent map of its coverage area. You can’t set up virtual boundary markers or direct it to clean specific rooms in your home.

While it offers okay overall performance on carpets, it doesn’t do as well as the Ecovacs DEEBOT OZMO T8 AIVI. Thankfully, it’s a fantastic option for cleaning surfaces like hardwood or tile. One of the main advantages it carries over the Ecovacs is its impressively effective ultrasonic mopping capability, which uses vibrating pads to scrub away dried-on debris instead of a purely passive system. Its other headlining feature is the combined LIDAR and optical navigation system, which functions like the Ecovacs and allows it to map out its coverage area with LIDAR and spot and avoid obstacles in real-time. It’s compatible with Roborock’s Empty Wash Fill Dock, which empties its dustbin, washes its mop pads, and refills the onboard water tank. However, this base station is expensive and pushes this vacuum into an even higher price bracket. Although it has a high-efficiency E11 filter, it does a terrible job of sealing in fine allergens like pet dander while cleaning, which can be ejected straight out of its exhaust. See our review Notable Mentions eufy RoboVac X8: The eufy RoboVac X8 is a robot vacuum that delivers decent performance on high-pile carpet and incurs relatively low recurring costs. However, unlike the yeedi vac station, there’s no self-emptying base station. See our review Shark AI Ultra Robot [AV2501AE, AV2501S, AV2511AE, RV2502AE]: The Shark AI Ultra Robot is a self-emptying robot vacuum with a LIDAR sensor. It delivers good overall performance on carpeted surfaces but has a very clunky companion app, making for a less user-friendly experience than the Roborock Q5. See our review yeedi K650: The yeedi K650 is an entry-level robot vacuum that does reasonably well on carpets. However, it has a basic navigation system and can easily get stuck on obstructions compared to the Neato D8. Its availability is also quite limited. See our review Roborock S7: The Roborock S7 is a solid alternative to the Roborock S7 MaxV if you don’t want to spend as much and don’t require the MaxV’s hazard-avoidance capability. It has a less powerful suction motor and delivers inferior deep cleaning performance.

Overview Jump to Details Jump to Details Jump to Details Jump to Details Jump to Details See 1 More > Life > House & Home Nearly any robot vacuum can sufficiently clear a hard floor of long hairs, pet fur, crumbs, and other debris. Some are more meticulous than others, obviously, but investing in a robot vac is generally a no-brainer in homes that are all hardwood, tile, or laminate. But if your home is mostly carpeted or covered in rugs, fewer robot vacuums can do the job (almost) as acceptably as a human wielding a Dyson might. Buying the cheapest one 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 covered in pet hair because it couldn’t muster the strength to pry fur from the carpet. Here are the best robot vacuums that work well on carpet 2023: MORE: Best Robot Vacuums Pet Hair Best Robot Vacuum And Mop Best Self Emptying Robot Vacuums All Best Products Read our full review of the Roomba s9+. Why we picked this: In 2021, the Roomba j7+ overthrew the s9+ as the latest and greatest from iRobot. But the s9+ still does one thing better: clean thick carpets. iRobot’s D-shaped botvac reaches deep into carpets with 40 times the suction of 600 Series Roombas (the j7+ offers 10 times the suction). After skirting the walls and corners with its flat edge, the s9+ makes a lot of passes across a room to ensure thorough cleaning. Once it takes a trip around your home and internalizes the layout, you can send it to specific rooms or specific carpeted areas that need extra attention. It also learns the more you use it, offering customized cleaning plans through the app. Who it’s for: The Roomba s9+ is the robot vac to trust on fully- or almost-fully carpeted floors, especially those that one or more pets shed all over. Its powerful suction and dual roller brushes dig deeper into fluffy carpet fibers where many other robot vacuums can only provide a surface-level clean. Buying Options The Good The Bad Details Read our full review of the Roborock S7+. Why we picked this: Between strong suction, LiDAR, and mopping that doesn’t soak carpets, the Roborock S7 is already major for folks dealing with both carpet and hard floors. With its self-empty dock (a wise bundle for people with shedding pets), the S7+ is triple threat under $1,000. You won’t have to worry about getting your carpet or rugs wet — VibraRise tech automatically lifts the mop and adjusts suction power if carpet is sensed Roborock’s obstacle recognition can’t detect cords or pet poop. However, you shouldn’t have to babysit it otherwise. The S7+ can be trusted to find your selected zones, decipher between floor type, and get back to its dock (though its three-hour battery life should rarely die on you). Who it’s for: We recommend the Roborock S7 for people who’d prefer the water stains and footprints on their tile to be treated to a deeper clean than just the light wiping of a cloth. Buying Options The Good The Bad Details Why we picked this: We would say that the newest Roomba goes where no Roomba has gone before, but it’s more about where it doesn’t go. The j7+ uses a new PrecisionVision Navigation camera that helps it to avoid small obstacles that are typically blind spots, like cords and pet waste. The j7+ isn’t the vacuum for high-pile carpets though. But its performance on low-pile (and hard floors) is reliable, especially with Dirt Detection that triggers multiple passes across serious messes. Long hair doesn’t tangle as easily in its long rubber brush rolls. It empties into a more compact auto-empty dock without sacrificing the 60-day capacity.  Who it’s for: The Roomba Combo j7+ is the splurge for folks who don’t mind paying a little extra for a robot vacuum that doesn’t require babysitting. That could mean skipping the pre-cleaning scan for phone chargers on the floor, feeling confident that your vac won’t smear your pet’s accident across the living room, or trusting that the mop won’t dampen floors that shouldn’t be wet. Buying Options The Good The Bad Details Why we picked this: Shark has been a player in the robot vacuum game forever, but didn’t have a model that particularly stood out — until winter of 2022, that is. The latest Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1 rocks improvements galore over several predecessors, adding a mop to its smartest model (plus automatic emptying, if you choose to grab the dock) without straying too far from the $300 to $600 range. The new Matrix Clean system prompts the vac to takes several passes to ensure that no spots are missed. During regular dry vacuuming, it delivers 30% better carpet cleaning (compared to the older RV Shark models) by digging deeper into carpet and cleaning in a crosshatch pattern to loosen and grab debris from multiple angles. When a corner is detected by “Matrix” also applies to the AI Ultra’s mopping, which vibrates 100 times per minute to scrub stains. Who it’s for: If you typically take the “and one for good measure” approach when it comes to cleaning, you’ll appreciate the extra effort the newest Shark vacuum puts in on dirty spots, even if it has already gone over them once. Buying Options The Good The Bad Details Why we picked this: Autonomous wet and dry cleaning plus auto-emptying plus room mapping is typically a pricey checklist, running you at least $600 if you’re Roborock or Shark — or more if you’re iRobot. Yeedi, a smaller brand that specializes in affordable robot vacuums, offers that iconic trio of robotic cleaning features in its Yeedi Vac Station for as low as $300 on sale. 3,000 Pa of suction is a bold claim that’d rival the most powerful Roomba, but this Yeedi really does put in more work than you’d expect at this price point. Its performance on flat to medium pile is satisfactory, including with long hairs — we just wouldn’t trust it to make it over a fluffy rug alive. Who it’s for: This packed budget model is a stellar find for folks who would like to stretch no more than $300 or $400 to cover the triple threat that is room mapping, mopping, and automatic emptying. With patience for the shaky navigation and the acceptance of clearing obstacles off the floor before starting a cleaning, the Yeedi Vac Station could be a game changer. Buying Options The Good The Bad Details Why we picked this: The Wyze Robot Vacuum and its raised LiDAR scanner have a similar vibe to one of our pricier faves, the Roborock S7. The mere presence of that smart mapping tower is more than most Roombas can say. This is what unlocks the ability to send the robot vacuum to specific rooms and draw virtual boundaries — one of the most coveted features in the market as of late. This Wyze vac doesn’t automatically crank suction on carpet, but its high power mode in general proves to be quite successful on light debris like hair and heavy debris like cereal on low and medium pile. Who it’s for: The lone Wyze robot vacuum will make life easier for those on a budget who prioritize the cleaning of specific rooms over suction-specific bells and whistles. If you’ve been burned by the crappy navigation tactics of a cheap robot vacuum in the past, the Wyze robot vacuum is a rare LiDAR-assisted model that doesn’t cost a lot. Buying Options The Good The Bad Details Frequently Asked Questions Any robot vacuum is unlikely to ruin your carpet. However, loose carpet strings and rugs with fringed ends are something to look out for. Bumbling bots with less accurate object sensors may gobble these right up and get stuck on them, potentially damaging your floor coverings. Folks who love a good frilly rug should consider a robot vacuum that follows virtual boundaries through smart mapping (rather than hit-or-miss physical no-go strips). Folks in homes with combination flooring may be considering a hybrid model. Note that many budget robot vacuums do offer mopping now — but they could accidentally mop your carpets as well. To ensure that your carpets don’t get soggy, opt for a hybrid that cuts the water flow or lifts the mopping pad when soft floors are sensed. Carpets and rugs are where pet hair, crumbs, and dust go to die, so beefy (yet methodical) suction is key for homes with a lot of stubborn floor coverings. As a general note, upright vacuum cleaners typically have more suction power than compact robot vacs. But if you’d still prefer to outsource the job, look for a robot vacuum with at least 2,000 Pa in suction to ensure that the carpet fibers are being efficiently combed. Most modern vacuums have a boost mode that automatically kicks in when the vacuum senses carpet. The same sensors should be smart enough to facilitate a smooth transition to dark hardwood floors and *not* mistake them for a cliff. Automatic emptying is huge for dealing with all of the gunk that should build up quickly if your robot vacuum is doing its job on your carpet. It’s especially clutch for large homes or those with pets that inherently need more cleanup, requiring more frequent dust bin emptying. Rather than you having to manually dump the bin into the garbage and wrestle wrapped hairs with your bare fingers, a self-emptying vacuum empties itself into a larger dustbin in its charging dock after each cleaning session. These larger bins can typically hold weeks of dirt without needing to be emptied themselves. Some rooms need to be tended to more often than others. A robot vacuum with LiDAR creates an internal map of your home’s layout and can be sent to specific rooms or zones in the house, like the carpeted living room where the pets hang out or to the entryway doormat that’s covered in dirt. Both are good, but much like the Instant Pot vs. Ninja Foodi debate, a general comparison between the two brands doesn’t work so well. Shark’s whole lineup is generally more budget-friendly than its most direct counterpart from Roomba, offering a more affordable path to coveted features like mopping and smart room mapping. However, in between iRobot’s low-end and high-end robovacs lies a much wider range of models to choose from and features that can be tailored to your needs. Shark’s cheapest self-emptier can frequently be found on sale for less than $250, while Roomba’s cheapest self-emptier typically sits near the $300 mark on sale. Shark’s most expensive is $649.99 compared to the most expensive Roomba at $1,099.99, with a few hundred dollars’ worth of wiggle room if either is on sale. But iRobot and Shark are hardly the only players in this group chat — Roborock, Eufy, and Yeedi pose serious competition with similarly-impressive performance and diverse pricing.

How to choose a robotic carpet cleaner? tips Here’s how to choose the right robotic carpet cleaner! MYTH #1 Robot vacuums are not good for cleaning carpets. Ekaterina: Is it true that robotic vacuum cleaners are bad at cleaning carpets? Okami: It is generally accepted that the robot vacuum cleaner is not suitable for dry and wet cleaning of carpets. And with regard to a long pile (from 3 cm), this statement is absolutely correct – not a single automatic assistant on the market is physically able to overcome such an obstacle. However, taking into account the fact that the average pile length is 0.5–1.5 cm, there are devices that can handle carpets. The technique well cleans surfaces from dust, debris and pet hair, reduces the time to put the premises in order. Basic Selection Criteria In order for the machine you choose to work effectively for flawless short and medium pile flooring, make sure it meets the basic markers on our checklist. The presence of a turbo brush Devices with suction modules and side brushes, as testing shows, are not very effective in terms of pile. You will need a device with a central turbo brush or its alternative – two silicone or rubber rollers. Climbing height A robot vacuum cleaner with a thin body and small wheels is not able to climb floors with a pile of more than 1 cm. Look for household appliances that can cope with obstacles from 1.5 cm high. show models with 2 cm.0020 High carpets require a vacuum cleaner with a large battery (from 2000 mAh). Units with lower performance will consume the entire supply of energy even in the first minutes of cleaning, which means that cleaning the house will be delayed. The most practical are lithium-ion batteries. Optimum dust bin capacity The bin capacity of carpet cleaner models can be standard. An average value of 0.6-0.7 liters is enough. Robot vacuum cleaner dimensions In order to clean not only exposed surfaces, but also carpet areas under cabinets, the robot vacuum cleaner must have an average height (10 cm). Wheel diameter is also important. If this parameter is less than 6.5 cm, the equipment will not be able to enter the surface. Robot vacuum cleaner power The greater the suction power, the more efficient the appliance can clean. High pile carpets require machines with a suction power above 45 watts. If the manufacturer does not indicate this parameter in the technical specifications, pay attention to the possibility of automatic power adjustment when working with different coatings. When switching to super power mode, the vacuum cleaner is 5 times more efficient, but this affects battery consumption: battery life is also reduced five times. Which configuration should you choose? The robotic carpet cleaner must be equipped with a turbo brush, a large dust container, a battery recharge station and filters. Useful will be options such as: remote control; charger adapter; replacement nozzles and brushes; virtual wall; air and HEPA filters; side brushes; UV lamp. Check that you have the instructions in Russian and the completed warranty card. It is also desirable that the selected equipment can be repaired at a service center. The price of automatic devices is high, so it is unprofitable to replace them at the first breakdown. Rating of Okami and Panda robot vacuum cleaners for carpet cleaning Okami U100 The premium robot vacuum cleaner is suitable for cleaning not only hard surfaces, but also carpets. Thanks to the presence of a petal-bristled turbo brush and high suction power, Okami U100 is an indispensable assistant in the house of every housewife. A laser rangefinder, TOF sensor, soft touch and drop sensors, and a high-precision gyroscope allow Okami U100 to perfectly navigate in space, effectively fighting any type of pollution. The V-Shape 3.0 turbo brush will quickly clean the hair and fur of animals, and the modern navigation system will help you not to miss uncleaned areas in your apartment! Panda EVO A modern robot vacuum cleaner with high-quality SLAM navigation that allows you to correctly navigate in space, a wet cleaning function and the ability to control it from your smartphone. Suction power up to 2150 Pa is ideal for cleaning carpets. Okami U90 The model is designed for dry and wet cleaning not only parquet, tiles, laminate, but also carpets. The V-Shape 3.0 turbo brush, Vision 3.0 video camera, and NIDEC motor are what you need in the fight against debris and pollution. Does the robot vacuum cleaner drive on carpets and rugs? How does a robot vacuum cleaner clean carpets? Are all models suitable for carpets? What kind of carpets can the Robot Vacuum Cleaner handle? Polaris Carpet Cleaning Technologies Sweeping the floor, collecting dust and debris is no problem for the robot vacuum cleaner, but will it cope with carpets? There are several myths about this: that the robot vacuum cleaner cannot drive on the carpet, does not clean it, gets stuck on it. In our article, we figure out whether a robot vacuum cleaner can actually clean carpets, what functions it has for this, and how well it cleans such coatings. Are all models suitable for carpets? All robotic vacuum cleaners can be divided into two large groups: dry-only or wet-and-dry. It is believed that models with a wet cleaning function for carpets or rugs are not suitable because they will wet the pile and only “carry” dirt. This is wrong. On all Polaris models, the microfibre wet mop is easily removable. This allows carpets to be vacuumed automatically without the risk of getting them wet: If only dry vacuuming is required, simply remove the attachment with the water container. If wet cleaning is also required, divide the work cycle into two parts. Have the robot vacuum and mop hard floors first. When he is done, you can remove the wet nozzle and send him to clean the carpets. On some models, you can leave the nozzle on and adjust the water flow through the app so that the microfiber stays dry when the vacuum cleaner travels over carpets. In order for the Robot Cleaner to perform well on long or thick piles, the following features are important: “passability” of the selected model; motor power; central brush type. If the house has a lot of carpets, it is better to buy a device with a power reserve, with a good battery. The design of the wheels affects whether it can drive on carpets and move along them (their surface should not be smooth). Finally, the center broom should have a long enough stiff bristle to cope with the cleaning of the floor. Even for the most powerful, “passable” models, there are limitations. The robot vacuum cleaner is not suitable for cleaning carpets with very long, rope or tangled pile. If the length of the pile is more than 3-4 cm, the device will not be able to drive on it and vacuum it. What types of carpets can the robot vacuum clean? The robot vacuum cleaner is suitable for cleaning almost all carpets: Loop pile carpets, single or multi-level. With sufficient density, the height of the pile can be almost any; carpet with any pile. If it is laid with joints, the seams must be tight, fixed; carpets with pile up to 2-3 cm, including velor, saxony, short shaggy; frieze (rope, twisted pile, provided that it is dense and the length does not exceed 2-3 cm). The shorter and denser the pile, the better it will be cleaned by the vacuum cleaner. According to reviews, such devices are great for carpets, carpets, carpets with short pile. Polaris Carpet Cleaning Technologies Polaris robot vacuum cleaners use several technologies to help them not only drive on carpets or carpets, but also clean them well: specially designed turbo brush; shock-absorbing wheels; powerful motor for efficient suction; HEPA filter; convenient power adjustment. Nearly all Polaris robot vacuum cleaners can be operated in different modes. If you need to vacuum carpets or rugs, we advise you to choose a higher suction power, and then the cleaning will be of high quality. An exception is loose small rugs with a short pile (for example, doormats). With high power, the robot vacuum cleaner can simply take them away. The turbo brush is installed in the central part of the robot vacuum cleaner.
