The mop lift is generally effective (sometimes described as class-leading), but a few reviewers warn that thicker rugs or medium-high carpet can still get damp, so no-mop zones may be...
Pros: Streaking / Residue, Dried-On Stain Removal
Cons: Stair Cleaning, Storage footprint &
The mop-lifting system helps protect carpets and rugs during mixed-surface cleaning, with one test citing around 12 mm of lift. This reduces wet-carpet risk while still enabling combo vacuum-and-mop routines.
Pros: Heating element, Hair‑Wrap / Tangle Resistance
Cons: Low-profile design, Solution / Liquid system
Mop lift is commonly cited as a useful feature for avoiding wet carpets, but lift height and overall mop system remain “basic” compared to higher-end self-washing or spinning/roller mops.
Pros: Price &, Value
Cons: Docking &, Auto-Empty Reliability (Robot)
Carpet protection options are robust (pad lift and, for some modes, pad detachment at the dock), but getting reliable ‘no wet mops on carpet’ behavior may take custom-mode tuning.
Pros: Hair‑Wrap / Tangle Resistance, Carpet — Medium-Pile Pickup
