Recently, robotic vacuum cleaners are increasingly entering our everyday life, replacing conventional cleaning devices. They are more functional, autonomous and do not require the constant presence of a person. This raises many questions about the use of this technique in carpet cleaning.

How to make the right choice?

To choose a high-quality and reliable assistant, several nuances must be taken into account:

  • tightening power - preferably above 40 W, otherwise there will be no high-quality cleaning;
  • wheel size - must be more than 6.5 cm so that the vacuum cleaner can freely drive onto the carpet;
  • presence of a turbo brush or rubberized or silicone rollers;
  • height of crossing obstacles - for coatings with medium pile, you need to take vacuum cleaners with the ability to overcome 1.5 cm (there are models that can move and 2-cm obstacles);
  • only a robot with a dry cleaning function is suitable for cleaning carpets, detergents are not suitable for such work;
  • it is better to choose a model with a larger dust collector;
  • so that the vacuum cleaner works longer on a single charge, the capacity of the battery must be at least 2000 mAh, and the battery itself must be lithium-ion.

It is worth highlighting that there are practically no robotic vacuum cleaners for cleaning long pile carpets. Firstly, it is difficult for them to climb such a coating, and secondly, the pile does not allow the brushes to work.

Review of the best models
