5 Things to Know About Robot Vacuum Brush Rolls
- Brush rolls flick dirt loose from carpets, making them essential for carpet cleaning.
- Not every robot vacuum has a brush roll. Models like the [iRobot Roomba](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=iRobot+Roomba&tag=wehavethat-20) 694, [Roborock S](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Roborock+S&tag=wehavethat-20)7 MaxV Ultra, Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid, [Shark AI](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Shark+AI&tag=wehavethat-20) Self-Empty XL, and Dreame Bot include one.
- If you have carpets, check before you buy. A brushless vac on carpet is basically a dust shuffler.
- Brush rolls are less critical on hard floors, where suction alone often works fine.
- Some brushless models rely on strong suction and rubber fins, but they still struggle with deep carpet dirt.
