The Shark IQ Robot AV992 is a passable choice for cleaning high-pile carpets. It's well-built, has an incredible battery performance, and does a decent job of maneuvering itself. It clears most pet hair and a good amount of debris like sand from high-pile carpets. However, it struggles more with fine material like baking soda, and its suction performance drops as its dirt compartment fills up. It also incurs several recurring costs and has many parts that require regular maintenance.
