ROBERTS 12" Carpet Rake and Groomer with 51" Handle

Works fairly well, decent but not perfect

The media could not be loaded. Absolutely a must for fluffy carpet back up. We have been in our house for 4 years now and the carpet was brand new but had some wear tracks from traffic. This took the matted carpet right out and made it fluffy again. I found it helpful to take it in each direction for the best results! It also takes up small crumbs that the sweeper couldnt get and I just sweeper them up after raking! The carpet looks so good now!Build quality:The quality is really good as well. The bristles are strong and handle is strong.

My carpet is old and needs to be replaced. This helped fluff the fibers and also raked out dog hair, though I wasn't as impressed as I hoped I would be.All in all, it serves its purpose and does what you would think it would.Reason for 4 stars: The handle sucks, It falls apart easily. Its made in separate pieces, i think to make shipping easy, but it is not strong once put together. Luckily, I used an old broom handle and it solved my problems.

I’ve been ready to rip my carpet up it’s so flat, matted, and ugly and it’s less than 3 years old! I ran across a video on TikTok from a professional carpet cleaner but he used a more expensive brand. After reading reviews on both I decided to give this one a shot. Worst case scenario, I was out $18. It was delivered at 8:30 pm last night but I could not wait to try it! I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to use (pull it in towards yourself, don’t try to push it forward). I tested a small area that gets the highest traffic. It may be hard to tell from the pictures but it looks almost new again. There was a very small, VERY flat area in the carpet that didn’t come back up much, but I’ll take it! My only concern is the durability of the handle. It seems a bit flimsy but I will update my review as I’ve used it more and done the whole house! If it can do my entire house then it’s money well spent!

I like this rake as it has a 3 piece handle. As it turns out there are places like stairs where the full length handle is awkward to use. The only concern I have is how well the combs will hold up. My previous rake (well over 10 years old) had combs that were a little bit more rigid and they never broke, they simply wore down a little from use so I thought it was time to replace. So far I haven't had any issues with the new one and it seems to rake the carpet well. So it's unfair to say it won't hold up long term. I'll update the review in a couple of months after I've had chance to use it around the house on all the carpets and rugs.BTW, a carpet rake is a great tool. I've never had one rip out any threads etc and they absolutely do bring the spring back into carpets and rugs. I also found that if I vacuum a carpet/rug and them rake, just before I use my Bissel carpet shampooer, that really helps a huge deal in cleaning deep.I should also note I have not tried a rake on a shag pile carpet. So I cannot say if it would work on one of those.UPDATE:After 2 weeks usage I docked 2 stars. The rake does work and works well but the 3 part handle locking design is a really poor design. Considering the effort you need to rake a carpet, no way this handle would hold up for long. In my case, the top section on mine keeps popping out. I've tried tightening more but too much effort and it pops out also. Maybe I just have a "bad" one. This looks like a standard handle thread so I may look around for a better handle elsewhere but for what the product is, without a solid working handle, it's not what it's advertised to be.

Finally, the carpet rake I've been looking for, it actually picks up hair instead of dragging it around. In the past, I bought a rake with 2 sides: rubber tines/squeegee. It worked the hair into a pile but wore me out. Next I tried rakes with metal teeth of varying length. Some were too rough, others did nothing. This rake does just what I want, it preps my carpet for vacuuming by loosening the dirt and actually grabbing the pet hair. Now, when I vacuum, the vacuum bag picks up the dirt, instead of filling up with pet hair first. I have 4 very hairy pets and this is just what I wanted. The tines are nylon and I don't know how long they will hold up but right now, I'm happy enough that I think I'll be glad to buy another if this wears out- provided that doesn't happen too quickly. Perhaps I'll post an update in the future.

I bought this specifically to help me get more of my dogs hair out of the carpets. It seems to work very well as I'm seeing more hair come into the vacuum. I was skeptical on purchasing this carpet rake due to the reviews talking about how easy it breaks. So far, not a problem for me. The strength of the handle can't be used to determine this carpet rake because it depends on how much pressure other people were putting on this rake. It is very simple to use, I rake once, vacuum, then rake again. The size is pretty average which is nice because I think if the handle was shorter or longer than it's current size, that it would be awkward to handle. Lol it can actually be kind of relaxing to me when raking the carpet, I don't know why. I would recommend this carpet rake to anyone.
