Which Ecovacs should you choose for carpets?
Two distinct problems arise with carpets: suctioning into them, and not soaking them while mopping.
The answer
The Ecovacs Deebot T90 Pro Omni at 599 €: 30,000 Pa of suction, the best in the catalog for lifting dust embedded in the fibres.

The suction needed to actually clean a thick carpet, not just skim over it.

Suctioning: the power that really matters
From 18,000 Pa, a robot already lifts surface dust from a thin rug properly. On a thick carpet or dense rug, you need significantly more: that's where the T90 Pro Omni and its 30,000 Pa stand out, far ahead of the catalog average.
Not soaking them: automatic lifting
A mopping robot that doesn't detect carpets soaks them on every pass — a flaw that damages some flooring over time. Nearly the entire Deebot lineup tested here automatically lifts its mop pad or roller when detecting a carpet, between 9 mm (T50, N30) and 15 mm (X12) depending on the model.
How to check before buying. In the spec sheet, look for the mention of lifting in the "Mopping" line. A higher lift height (15 mm) covers thicker carpets without risk of contact.

- The X12 Pro Omni (799 €, 22,000 Pa) offers more generous lifting (15 mm) and more advanced navigation, for homes with many varied carpets.
Our picks
The default choice — T90 Pro Omni
Who's it for? Households with thick carpets where suction takes priority over everything else.
If you have many varied carpets — X12 Pro Omni
Who's it for? Homes with several types of carpet, where generous lifting (15 mm) and the catalog's most advanced navigation make the difference.
Mistakes to avoid
Neglecting lift-up in favor of suction alone. A powerful robot that doesn't lift its mop pad soaks your carpets on every cycle.
Underestimating maintenance of the roller or brush on long hair. Long-pile carpets require weekly cleaning of the mopping system, regardless of the model.
Choosing an entry-level model for thick carpets. Models at 9,000-10,000 Pa (Mini, N30 Pro Omni) remain limited on this specific terrain.

Frequently asked questions
How much suction do you need for thick carpet?
At least 25,000 Pa to genuinely lift dust embedded in the fibres. The T90 Pro Omni, with its 30,000 Pa, is the best-suited model in the Deebot catalog.
Does the robot soak carpets while mopping?
No, if it has automatic mop-pad lifting, present on nearly the entire Deebot lineup tested here (9 to 15 mm depending on the model). The robot detects the carpet and lifts the mop pad before crossing it.
Does the OZMO ROLLER work well on carpet?
The roller lifts automatically on carpet, just like rotating mop pads. On recent models (X12), lift reaches 15 mm, enough for most standard indoor rugs.
Do long-pile carpets pose a specific problem?
Yes: they require both high suction and good management of wrapping around the roller or brush. Combine a powerful model (T90 Pro Omni) with weekly maintenance of the mopping system.
