Midea

Midea, the Chinese Fortune 500 home appliance manufacturer, brings industrial-scale robotics expertise to the consumer market. The V12 Ultra and S8+ models feature intelligent carpet detection that automatically boosts suction power when rolling onto thicker pile. Both robots include LIDAR navigation, self-emptying dustbins, and mopping capabilities in a single unit.

For thick carpet specifically, Midea's carpet detection system means the robot doesn't rely on manual mode switching. The dual-edge brushes and high-speed motor design translates well to high-pile and shag carpet, though these models perform just as competently on hard floors and low-pile options. If you want a brand with decades of appliance manufacturing backing your purchase, Midea's warranty and parts support are solid.
