Roomba s9+

S9+ It came out in 2019 and is arguably the BEST roomba for straight cleaning performance especially carpet due to its large front rollers and non restrictive rear air exhaust. It still ranks on the top for robot vacuums based on cleaning performance especially on carpet It lacks obstacle avoidance

The roomba s9+ is the most powerful roomba The 2nd most powerful is the 980. Because both have exhaust fans on the rear of the unit, not downwards and could be obstructed by carpet like the i and j models, the s9 and 980 can provide consistent extreme suction on carpets.

The P50 Pro Ultra was frequently returned at release because a lot of people received the unit with a broken front wheel, and the only course of action was to return it and re-order it. There was not a commercially available replacement wheel. I believe there now is a replacement that can be purchas

That's a comprehensive answer! But, spending time here for months and delving deeper into the robot vacuum world, there are strengths and weaknesses in each robot vacuum brand. Historically, Roborock and Dreame traced their roots back to Xiaomi's investment group, and both companies are designing pr

It really depends on your specific needs and budget. If hair pickup + low maintenance are the priority, Roborock S8 Pro Ultra (or equivalent Roborock multi-dock models like Qrevo Plus) are solid options for pet hair and a very low-touch experience. If you want proven obstacle avoidance + broad suppo

Very surprised you had issues with the S9+! That robot is a beast with suction. I want to wait to run it on carpet until I’m home haha - there’s a coffee table on the rug and the flow 2 would always ram itself under and scratch the top up. The dust bin being so tiny is my only concern with carpet cl

For raw cleaning power for Roombas specifically, the best for pet hair and carpet will always be the Roomba s9+, followed by the vacuum only j9+. This is excluding the new Chinese manufacturerd roomba lineup. The s9 still clears the j9 too. It’s an older robot from 2019 with no pet waste avoidance,

For carpets, the Dyson VisNav will be much better and after that is the iRobot roomba S9+ which has been reported to rip out carpet fibers but these robots have their own tradeoffs.

Agree! Eufy, Ecovacs, Dreame, and Mova are now in the robotic lawn mower game. Eufy, in particular, seems to have executed the vision-only strategy that iRobot should have done years ago, which would be revolutionary in 2019, but a standard today. Given the rumors about iRobot's struggles if their n

Don’t expect the best carpet cleaning from robot vacuums. There are a few exceptions like the Dyson VisNav, the iRobot roomba S9+, and the Electrolux trilobite (which is as old as the organism it gets its name from).
