ROBERTS 12" Carpet Rake and Groomer with 51" Handle

Very effective at lifting compressed carpeting and making it look much better. I can also see debris that has settled deep in the carpet popping up to lay on top to be vacuumed.The handle is pretty wonky, but a $9 replacement wooden handle from Amazon fixed that. You can screw the bottom handle segment back in for stairs, or just buy a handheld version of this device, as I did, for use in compact areas.

This rake was exactly what I was looking for. It definitely does help with matting and will make your carpets look better and fluffier! I’ve been obsesses with it, using it everyday. I wish I would have found this sooner!! I do see what people mean about the handle being kind of flimsy however I am 6’2”, 190 and use a decent amount of force without any issues or breaks. Do yourself a favor and get this product. I will probably get another one!!

The ROBERTS 12" Carpet Rake and Groomer with 51" Handle was purchased during October of 2023 for the price of $17.25 plus tax. It is now available for the price of $18.16 plus tax (November 21, 2024).Unfortunately, because of the actual molecular structure of synthetic carpeting, for the most part, it is destined to become irreparably stained and matted. Knowing this before it occurs is essential if there's any chance of maintaining the carpet in good shape over the long term. Having this type of device is absolutely necessary to keep the nap of the carpet from becoming matted...once it does, there's, most probably, no method by which it can be undone...I have tried.However, if proper cleaning takes place from the beginning...including a device such as this rake being employed; one can expect the carpet life to be significantly extended.I use the ROBERTS 12" Carpet Rake and Groomer with 51" Handle each day after vacuuming the carpet. One should vacuum daily if only for health reasons as carpeting is notorious for attracting all airborne types of particulates...especially dust, pollen, and pet dander.This tool is an essential for anyone with carpeting. I highly recommend this tool.

Fantastic! I wish I had found this 40 years ago!

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.

The item arrived promptly, it was easy to put together. It did what it said, pulled the dirt up so the vaccum could pick it up. My carpets looked like I had a professional carpet cleaner come in.

Works great! I have cheap “shag” carpeting in my new apartment and it gets crushed down so fast and makes the whole place look like crap. I take my little rake and with a few swipes it looks new again! Now, my plan is to make a small pathway in and out of every room so I’d have to just fix that line…….. I’ve never been OCD before but this carpet is THAT CHEAP and awful lol

This is exactly what I needed and it works for me. Rug looks fluffy and new.
