Models with extending side brushes or D-shaped designs lead the pack. The Roborock Qrevo S, Crystal C28, and iRobot Roomba j9+ all offer strong edge performance. The Qrevo S’s retractable brush is especially effective for both carpets and hard floors.Do round robot vacuums clean edges well?

Round robots can clean edges, but they almost always leave a small gap because the circular body doesn’t reach all the way into corners. A side brush helps, but it’s not as effective as a square-front or D-shaped design that pushes the main brush closer to the wall.
