Carpet cleaning is generally rated strong for the tier, including an above-average deep-cleaning score in testing and good pickup on rugs. Performance is not positioned as flagship-level, but it is...

#19

Medium-pile carpet pickup is reported as better than expected for the price, but the robot still struggles with deep debris extraction compared with higher-airflow or premium alternatives.

#20

Medium-pile carpet cleaning is above average, helped by dual rollers and carpet boost behaviors.

#21

Medium carpet evidence is positive, with rugs or carpets described as refreshed or totally clean.

#22

Medium-pile carpet performance is one of its best categories in testing-style reviews, including strong deep-clean outcomes; some households still report visible hair left behind depending on settings and battery constraints.

#23

Carpet pickup is a consistent bright spot (including some standout results on larger debris), though performance can vary by test medium (e.g., fine sand) and carpet type.

#24

Carpet performance is repeatedly described as strong for day-to-day upkeep, including visible straight-line cleaning patterns and effective pickup. Reviews frame it more as maintenance than heavy-duty deep extraction.

#25

Carpet performance is generally strong, though at least one test reported weaker results on medium-pile compared with low-pile or top competitors.

#26

Medium-pile carpet pickup is consistently strong, with reviewers citing good deep-clean performance and above-average results in standardized carpet tests.

#27

Performance on medium carpets and typical rugs is strong, with the robot climbing thresholds and boosting suction effectively.

#28

Medium-pile carpet results are generally positive in testing, including above-average deep-clean performance in some lab-style evaluations.

#29

Medium-pile carpet pickup is generally strong on surface debris, but deep-cleaning performance varies and some reviews mention needing extra passes.

#30

Medium-pile carpet cleaning is generally strong, with good deep-clean results in testing and solid day-to-day pickup.

#31

Carpet cleaning is generally strong for a combo robot, including good deep-clean results and above-average pet hair pickup; thick rugs or higher-pile carpets may still be a challenge for keeping...

#32

Medium-pile carpet evidence is limited but positive, with one review citing solid medium-pile results.

#33

Medium-pile carpet pickup was generally strong in lab testing, though not every reviewer found carpet results exceptional.

#34

Medium-pile carpet pickup is generally praised, with multiple reviews describing high overall debris recovery and strong everyday cleaning on rugs/carpets compared with peers at similar prices.

#35

Medium-pile carpet deep-clean results are consistently described as strong or above average in test-style reviews, helped by carpet boost.

#36

Medium-pile carpet performance is generally good, but a few reviewers expected more deep-cleaning power versus prior flagships or competitors, especially in sand-embedded style testing.

#37

Medium-pile carpet results are generally favorable for everyday debris and hair maintenance, though not always class-leading on fine particulates. Performance is commonly described as solid but with edge limitations on...

#38

Generally good on medium‑pile, but some tests still left fine flour/oats unless using high suction and multiple passes.

#39

In lab-style testing, medium-pile deep-clean pickup scored as respectable rather than class-leading. It performs well enough for everyday carpet maintenance but may trail the very best deep-clean specialists.

#40

Medium-pile carpet cleaning is strong for the price in some lab-style deep-clean tests, but performance varies by test methodology; overall it is better as a maintenance cleaner than a deep...
