Roborock and Carpet Care: Can Robot Vacuums Handle Australian Carpets?

Roborock Online |

If you’ve been searching for the best robotic vacuum cleaner to help you conquer your carpets, look no further than Roborock robot vacuum cleaners. Designed to tackle the toughest carpets, our latest robot vacuums like the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra is the perfect option for cleaning your carpets.

Let’s explore which Roborock vacuums are best to clean your carpets, no matter which carpet you have and dispel common concerns around using robot vacuum cleaners! 

Australian Carpets: Understanding the Terrain

  • Thick Pile Carpets: Thick pile carpets, otherwise known as “high pile carpets” can pose challenges for robot vacuums that aren’t designed to handle the height. Our dual brush vacuums are ideal for handling thick pile carpets, like the S8 Pro Ultra.

  • Low-Pile Carpets: Low-pile carpets are typically no more than 6.35mm high, making them easy to navigate for our robot vacuums, although low-pile carpets do tend to trap dirt, dust and pet hair more easily. Make sure you choose a vacuum with hefty brushes to get that dirt up! Like the S8 and S8 Maxv Ultra.

  • Berber Carpets: While many looped or textured Berber carpets can present challenges for conventional vacuums, our S8 Pro Ultra, Q8Max+ and even our Q5 Pro excel at getting into all of the weaves thanks to a Carpet Boost+ system that helps the vacuum’s brushes dig deeper without damaging your Berber.

Roborock’s Rise to the Challenge

Our robot vacuum cleaner has been specifically designed to care for carpets. Regardless of how dirty they are, we’ll rise to the challenge! Some of the features of our vacuum cleaners that we’re most proud of include:

  • Powerful Suction: We’ve recently made some upgrades to our machines to increase their suction capacity. While still capable, our most affordable model, the Roborock Q5 Pro boasts 5,500Pa of suction power, while our latest model, the S8 MaxV Ultra has doubled that suction power to a whopping 10,000Pa! Our robot vacuums have the suction to pick up even the stickiest of messes.

  • Advanced Brush Design: Our robot vacuums are all equipped with an advanced brush design that helps to get into the nooks and crannies. Whether on carpet or floor, our Qrevo MaxV Ultra has a brush design that pops out and cleans the edges of a room. Also, our S8 Pro Ultra has a DuoRoller brush that will spin in opposite directions, picking up more dirt, rather than moving it around. Our S8 MaxV Ultra also has side brushes for extra scrutiny.

  • Carpet Boost: Our unique “Carpet Boost” technology allows for even more suction when on carpeted surfaces! This ensures that your carpets will be as clean as can be. Carpet Boosting can be engaged when on thicker, high-pile carpets. Our Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra is the most current model to feature Carpet Boost.

Addressing Common Concerns: Myths Debunked

Our customers might have questions about the utility and capabilities of our robot vacuum cleaners. After all, they’re not the same machines as traditional vacs. But, that’s where our vacuum cleaners shine: they’re not the same as conventional vacuums, they’re different and in many ways, better! Here are a few common myths about robot vacuum cleaners:

  • Robot Vacuums Can’t Handle Thick Carpets: Our robot vacuums are designed to handle thick carpets! Thanks to our carpet boost technology and DuoRoller brushes, our robotic vacuum cleaners will take on even the shaggiest of carpets. Some of our vacuums also come with height adjustments, meaning they’ll go from low-pile to high-pile without issue!

  • Robot Vacuums Damage Carpets: We equip our Roborock vacuums with soft brushes to ensure they don’t damage your carpet. Unlike conventional vacuums, our Roborocks offer a gentle, but effective vacuuming experience.

  • Robot Vacuums Can’t Clean Deeply: You can use our adjustable settings on your Roborock vacuum to ensure that a deep clean is achieved every time. You can also set regular cleaning schedules via the Roborock app, ensuring a deeper clean at regular intervals. 

Tips for a Carpet Cleaning Champion

Optimising the performance of your robot vacuum and mop is paramount to ensuring you get a clean carpet, time after time. Here are a few tips on how to get the best out of your Roborock vacuum.

  • Choosing the Right Model: When choosing your model Roborock vacuum, consider the height of your carpets. Those with more suction power (The S8 MaxV Ultra or S8 Pro Ultra) will clean high-pile carpets better than low-suction units like the Q5 Pro, which is designed for low-pile carpets.

  • Maintain Your Roborock: Most of our Roborock units come with a self-docking system for charging, but some have self-cleaning mechanisms built-in. This is great, but you’ll need to ensure that you regularly check your Roborock’s brushes for hair build-up and empty the water reservoir on your robot vacuum and mop combo.

  • Schedule Regular Cleaning: Our robot vacuums clean on a schedule using the Roborock app. By scheduling regular cleaning, their artificial intelligence-powered system will tell them when to clean. You can also use the app to set “No-Go Zones” for certain areas of the home that you want to leave untouched. Regularly cleaning your carpets will keep them looking pristine.

  • Utilise Carpet Boost Feature: Carpet Boosting is a feature that we built into the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra to help the vacuum clean high-pile carpets with more efficacy and collect more dirt when cleaning. Ensure Carpet Boost is turned on when you put the best robot vacuum in Australia through it’s paces.
