ROBERTS 12" Carpet Rake and Groomer with 51" Handle

Unbelievable, fantastic tool! I never knew this even existed. I bought it in a last ditch attempt to make my carpet look better and wow, was I surprised. It revived my carpet in conjunction with a carpet cleaning and the results were absolutely stellar. We thought we would need to buy new carpet, but no way after using this. It fixed the high-traffic areas and made the steam cleaning with a Bissell machine so much easier. Our carpet looks like new.

I have to admit I didn't expect much for the price, but after using this rake on badly matted down carpet, I was surprised how well it worked. It didn't bring it back to like new and I didn't expect it too, but it looks and feels so much better. Taking it out of the box, due to the plastic construction of the teeth and 3 piece handle, I thought this thing wont last 5 min, but it is tougher than it looks. Time will tell, but for the price, can't go wrong. I found that the best way to use it on my medium pile RV carpet was first to drag it against the lay in one direction to pull it up some then work in short, quick, back and forth motions, sometimes removing the head from the top 2 sections to work tight spaces. It took some work but the results were awesome. The next time I believe it will be much less work. I didn't think to take a before shot, but trust me, anyone who has a cabin boat or RV knows they are one big traffic area. I plan on using this each day we leave it for the week. I believe it will improve a little over time, not to like new, but much much better than when we bought it. I am planning on purchasing another for home use on my new basement carpet to keep it fresh looking.

For sure what I needed! Every place I’ve ever lived has had flat berber carpets which I’ve grown to hate. So recently when I was able to replace my carpet with something a bit fluffier I was super happy. However, it quickly flattened out in the high traffic areas. Doing some research I found this rake and have decided carpet rakes are the best thing ever. Pros: The actual rake itself is durable and you can push and pull the carpet back to its near-full fluffiness. It also brings up a lot of dog hair that my vacuum wasn’t catching. Cons: The handle is NOT sturdy. Instead of it being one piece it’s 3 that screw together and boy can I already feel that thing breaking. I actually took the top 2 pieces off and just use the bottom one while sitting on the floor. It works great that way but it’s not as designed, I’m sure. Also I get why that wouldn’t be comfortable for people. (Also also I saw lots of reviews mentioning the lack of assembly instructions and yes it doesn’t have them. However, you just screw the pieces together logically. It doesn’t really need them.) Overall, this is super satisfying to use and it really does fluff up the carpet while grabbing lots of hair. However, the handle design is awful. Unfortunately, you either have to use the bottom part only or replace the whole handle.

After a couple of years, my new carpet began looking flat in some of the more high traffic areas. I had resigned myself to trying to cover it with rugs and eventually get new carpet. I searched around looking for products to help and stumbled upon someone recommending a carpet rake. It sounded kind of ridiculous and I was worried it would further damage the carpet, but decided to give it a shot anyways. I kid you not, within 20 seconds my flat, sad looking carpet looked brand new. I proceeded to do all the other areas, including the stairs. This thing is truly amazing and is simple and very fast to use. I did my whole staircase in about 5 minutes with very little effort. I don't know how I've never heard of carpet rakes before, but everyone with carpet should own one of these. Also great if you like those post-vacuum lines but can never get them as straight as you'd like. ; )

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.

I moved into a newly carpeted apartment in May of 25'. The carpet is cut pile, and probably the least expensive option for the complex. By the fall, it was clear where me and my dogs walked. The carpet was matted, and vacuuming would never fully revive it. I played around with this carpet rake for a few minutes. It worked so well, I put it down to write this review. I honestly cant believe how well it works. After a few passes in different directions, my high traffic areas feel as soft as the rest of the carpet. *I've had this thing for all of 2 hours. It could break tomorrow.

This little gadget is awesome. I found it because of ChatGPT. It helps lift the crap in my carpet and definitely sets it nicely. For 13.00…a definite plus, if you have carpet, this is most certainly a win in the tool-kit.

This thing feels cheap, but it does the job. Makes carpet look fluffy and new. Obviously a high quality vacuum will do the same thing, but a vacuum is noisy, and it can't always reach deep into small corners and such. It's also difficult to vacuum stairs. This thing will fluff up the carpet on your stairs just as well as everything else.

formidabel, mijn tapijt is als nieuw, zonder moeite en zeer gemakkelijk

I was honestly really sceptical about this and whether it would be able to help me bring my carpet back to life. It is probably considered medium pile carpet and there's a lot of areas where traffic visibly compacted it, and neither my vacuum nor carpet shampooer could revive it. Definitely takes some elbow grease but this worked very well and so much better than I expected it to!

This carpet rake is fantastic and has made such a difference to my carpets. It lifts flattened fibres with ease, brings the pile back to life, and even helps remove embedded pet hair before vacuuming. It’s sturdy, easy to use, and leaves my carpets looking fresh and well-maintained. A brilliant little tool that I’d highly recommend.

I recently discovered this product when I was trying to work out a way to bring our living room carpet back to new after cleaning it. You do need to put in some physical effort but the results are brilliant and the carpet looks amazing and it feels even nicer to walk on. Loving this product.
