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. Buying the cheapest one you can find will likely create more of a hassle every time it eats a frilly rug corner or leaves you with a home still covered in pet hair because it couldn't muster the strength to pry fur from the carpet.
Lucky for you, the Mashable team has tested dozens of robot vacuums, and we're here to help you pick the perfect bot for your carpets and rugs. So, read on to find the best robot vacuum for carpet in 2023.
