Carpet — High-Pile Pickup

Provides excellent cleaning on thicker carpets, with its powered head and strong suction working effectively even on shag and other high-pile surfaces, and in one comparison it pulled up extra dust that a premium Dyson cordless left behind.

High-pile carpet pickup was rated very strong in one lab-style test set, but other reviewers emphasize that soft flooring is not this vacuum’s strength overall.

High-pile carpet performance is also described as excellent in testing, though achieving the deepest clean may push users toward max power where runtime is very short.

High-pile carpet results are a highlight in lab testing, with near-total debris removal reported. Reviewers also note strong pet-hair extraction on deeper carpet when using the carpet mode.

High-pile performance can be very strong in controlled tests, including pet-hair pickup, but real-world clutter and fine dust can still require higher suction and occasional manual help.

High-pile/shag performance is frequently described as surprisingly strong for a cordless stick, with tests reporting near-complete debris removal when power increases on thicker fibers.

High-pile carpet performance is generally excellent, with strong agitation and suction, though very thick carpet can sometimes feel harder to push due to the vacuum grabbing the pile.

High-pile carpet performance is also rated highly in testing summaries, with near-complete pickup in several debris trials. A few comparative notes say deep-clean scores can vary slightly by head design, but overall results remain strong.

Reviewers say the head design and gate/vent settings help it work on thick or deep-pile carpet without stalling. It can still feel grabby in deeper-clean modes because of the high suction.

High-pile carpet pickup is also reported as strong, with lab-style results in the high‑90% range and good hair handling. A few comparisons suggest the Outsize’s wider head can slightly reduce concentrated deep-clean performance versus the Gen5 Detect, but still scores well above average.

High-pile carpet pickup is strong, but resistance can increase, especially on max mode, making it harder to push. Even so, users report it can pull up deep fibers and debris.

High-pile carpet pickup is generally strong for the price tier in test-style reviews, with consistently high debris removal and positive real-world impressions when carpet boost is enabled.

High-pile carpet pickup can be very good in controlled tests, but thicker/longer carpets also expose limits like mop-pad clearance and potential for reduced effectiveness compared with hard floors or shorter pile.

A deep-clean style test in one review was notably strong, but other reviewers still describe carpet performance as a step behind top-tier robots on more demanding carpets.

High-pile carpet handling is generally praised as above-average for a cordless, though real-world ease can depend on power mode and floorhead behavior.

High-pile and plush carpet performance is strong with the right electric head (and proper height setting), with multiple reviewers praising deep cleaning and pet-hair lift. Some note certain powerheads struggle on very high pile, making head selection important.

High-pile/shag performance is generally described as capable for a budget canister with height adjustment, though the strong head can feel heavy or aggressive for some users.

Several tests highlight unusually good high‑pile/shag rug pickup for a cordless, but the heavier head can feel sticky or harder to push on deep pile.

One technician-style review calls out a spring-loaded/nozzle design and adjustable brush behavior intended to better accommodate higher-pile carpet than many consumer shampooers.

High-pile results are mixed: some reviews report excellent cleaning and better glide than older Dyson uprights when the gates are opened, while at least one lab test found below-average pickup of mixed debris on high pile. Expect strong suction, but plan to adjust gates and make extra passes for large, lightweight debris.

High-pile carpet performance is generally strong due to agitation and height settings, but some users find it hard to push or overly aggressive if set too low.

High-pile carpet results are more mixed: some reviews report strong pickup while lab testing shows lower scores and higher push resistance on thick carpet.

Carpet pickup is a major strength: several tests show near-flagship-leading deep-clean performance on carpets, including high-pile runs, though some lab sand tests put it closer to the upper-middle of the pack.

High-pile carpet pickup is strong overall, including pet hair, though some tests show reduced performance with cereal-like debris. For most common messes, reviewers report fast, effective cleaning.

High-pile carpet pickup remains strong, though some fine debris (like sugar) may require extra passes to reach top results compared to hard floors and low-pile carpet.

High-pile carpet performance is reported as decent to strong in some testing, though climbing on/off thick rugs or thresholds can slow cycles.

Handling thicker rugs is a highlight thanks to the climbing wheels, though true deep-cleaning at edges can still be limited by round-robot geometry.

High-pile carpet performance is generally good for pickup, though strong suction can increase drag/stuck feeling on thicker rugs for some users.

High-pile or deeply embedded carpet performance is above average and sometimes impressive, but a few tests show it not as dominant as the raw power suggests.

High-pile/deep-clean results are competitive for an ultra-slim robot, and the ability to lift/remove mops helps it tackle carpet modes without soaking rugs.

High-pile carpet handling and pickup are frequently described as strong for a robot, but plush carpets can still pose issues due to the mop module design and lift limits when mopping modes are involved.

High-pile carpet performance is generally rated strong when using the high-pile/area-rug setting, and many reviewers highlight effective pet hair removal. Some also report the lack of height adjustment and strong suction can cause rug grabbing, carpet seam lift, or long-term wear on certain rugs.

Deep/high-pile carpet cleaning is strong for a single-roller bot, but some reviewers say dual-roller flagships still clean thicker carpets better.

At least one review notes noticeably strong performance on thicker or higher-pile carpet due to high suction. Keeping carpets dry is helped by vacuum-only modes, mop lifting, or leaving mop pads at the dock, but some testers still caution about mop height when crossing carpet edges.

High‑pile carpet pickup is rated top-tier by most reviewers, including for cereal and pet hair. A technician review reports weak fine-sand removal on carpet and warns that leaving grit behind could wear fibers over time.

High-pile carpet cleaning is reported as effective when using the higher setting, with good grooming and visible carpet lines.

Several reviewers report strong deep-clean ability on thick rugs and ground-in hair. A critical perspective argues high-pile can still leave fine debris out of reach due to head design, despite the high motor power on paper.

High-pile carpet performance is generally above average and can lift impressive amounts of embedded fine grit, but several test-driven reviews note the head can get pulled down into plush carpet (reducing clearance for larger debris) and may require slower passes, vent/gate adjustments, or occasional brushroll intervention on thick rugs.

High or flat-to-fluffy carpet performance is generally very strong for a stick vac, though a few reviewers note the head can bog down or lock up on especially thick pile.

High-pile/plush carpet performance is more mixed: some reviewers still found strong cleaning, while at least one lab test measured below-average pickup compared with other top uprights. Homes dominated by plush carpet may want to compare alternatives.

High-pile carpet pickup is frequently rated strong, with automatic suction boosts helping; the bigger limitation is keeping carpets dry during mop+vac runs, not suction itself.

High-pile and deeper carpet cleaning is generally good for a stick vacuum, aided by agitation, but some reviews note fine grit or deep-fiber dust can still lag behind top premium models.

High-pile carpet and pet-hair pickup are frequently rated very good to excellent, though ultra-plush rugs and embedded debris may still benefit from multiple passes.

High-pile and rug cleaning is generally a strength, with good pickup scores and strong pet-fur results compared with its hard-floor chunky-debris performance.

High‑pile/shag pickup is good for the price and earns praise in some tests, but it’s not perfect—some debris can slip under the taller gate openings and the pickup percentage is lower than on low pile.

High-pile/thick carpet results are generally good but can become hard to push at higher suction, making mid modes more practical.

High-pile/deep-clean behavior is described as above average for embedded debris in at least one test-focused review, though it remains a robot vacuum and may need repeat passes for very heavy messes.

High-pile or thicker carpet is a weaker area: some budget comparisons suggest it can struggle more versus top performers, and small-object/brush issues can show up more on plush surfaces.

High-pile/deeper carpet cleaning is reported as strong in at least one standardized deep-clean test, placing it above average. However, some sources still report weaker fine-debris extraction under certain default configurations.
